Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Cincinnati Is Cool.

Oh, dear. The author spent most of his time at all the most painfully hip* of hipster stores/restaurants/apartments. Of course he's going to be left with the impression it's cool.

*(The non-hipster places being, of course, Skyline and Graeter's; in fact, the specific Skyline and Graeter's locations are in my old neighborhood, and ones that I've taken many a Buffista to.)

At sundown, we headed for Ludlow Avenue, ground zero of the student-laden Clifton neighborhood, to sample an entirely different skyline. There’s no need to mince words here. In one meal, I became an official Skyline Chili crack whore. Give me the mild chocolate-cinnamon laced chili in a five-way (ladled over spaghetti with beans, onions, and cheddar cheese) or on a coney (a Cinncinati hot dog with mustard, chili, and onions), I don’t care. I wanted–and still want–more. Now please. Sooner if possible.

The black raspberry chip 1870 Tower sundae I inhaled down the street at Graeter’s French-churned ice cream helped a little bit, too.

Despite his kind hipster words, Cincinnati? Not. Cool. We're good with that.

Hey guys! Guess what? I might be working the inauguration for Close Up after all! Woot!

I'm loving the obama pics. This is my fave family picture of the moment: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We elected people. That's what it is. Real, honest-to-whatsis, living actual lives with each other people.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I believe I managed three 5-ways in four days.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The photo of Obama and Tammy Duckworth hugging gave me allergies....

“Not dead yet!”

Well, hell. Lewis just inadvertently broke a piece of our stoneware. The bitch of it is that it was an unusual piece to start with and the pattern's no longer made.

I'm almost afraid to look on Replacements.com

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

why is filling out financial forms so stressful? It makes me want to cry and I have bitten my nails down to nothing. I do. not. get. it. All it is is finding information (granted not always the least frustrating things given my files) and putting it on the paper. No formulas, no gauntlet to run.

I hate financial anything, as you well know.

I'm done for the day. Except I can't pick up the cat until a little after six, so it makes no sense to go home.
