Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm super behind on House. How come this one is a watch-from-the-hall?

Kat, this was from the first, I think. The epidemic in the maternity ward. I stopped watching when I had a panic attack after House performed an autopsy on a newborn baby. Owen was 8 months old when it aired but I lost it at that scene.

It came on TNT on a rerun tonight after we had watched something else.

We switched it off and watched Hellboy, instead.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

It is 10:15 pm, and I am baking something for the holiday potluck at work tomorrow. I started at 7:00 to make this sweet potato/apple torta, but ran into trouble, The recipe asks for thin slices of the sweet potato, but for some reason I got the notion that it asked for slices that were 1/4" to 1/2" thick. there is layering of apple and spotato interspersed with a mixture of thyme, green onions, parmesean cheese, some flour, a little sugar, salt and pepper and drizzles of butter.

Well, I had it all assembled when I realized my slicing error, so I tried to deconstruct it and reslice the spotatoes, which were now slippery from the butter. I was having a hard time of it and making a mess when I noticed a trace of red on one of the slices that I had just placed back in the pan. Well, let's just say, Iinjured myself. Which meant I had to spend some time on the floor trying not to faint, which of course added time to the process.

I hope this thing tastes ok, because it is a disaster in execution. I hope no one finds a missing part of me while they are eating. Yeesh! What made me think I could cook?

Cashmere, it's funny that for me House is less irksome than Private Practice. I mean, House can press buttons, but not as badly as the fertility stuff on Private Practice.

Because books.

It was a song by who you thought, ita. I was happily surprised!

That was a lovely episode of Leverage. I was, in fact, not paying too much attention due to distractions, but ... horses! Kane kissing a girl! Kane riding a horse! Kane music! It was all very happy-making for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I thought it sounded familiar, Amy!

And in your list, how can you forget stable sex ?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

ita - yes, yes it is. I giggled with happiness cause I had just been listening to that song not long before Leverage started.

I have Leverage sitting on my TiFaux. Need to get around to that.

Still snowing here. Not much accumulation yet. That will happen soon enough.

Because books.

I was too overwhelmed, ita. At the time, I nearly fainted, in fact.

I'm going to come out and say Leverage is, so far, my kind of show. Watch it, Cash! See, Suzi and ita agree!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I do too! Even though I haven't seen tonight's ep yet. I keep forgetting to see if it shows early for me as well.
