Megan, one of the appetizers I made for one of my Christmas parties is actually called my "Ahwahnee special"! I will try to have the ingredients on hand this Friday, when you come over. It's so damned good. Every time I am at the Ahwanhee I order it, and I finally figured out that, um, ya know, I could easily re-create it at home.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm watching last night's Colbert, and it reminds me that I wished I had a camera with me the other day on my way to work, when I saw them taking down the AIG banner outside their offices. It must just have been because of the wind or something, but it was a great image.

Boo, neighbor wasn't home. But, two tub and I bought them tonight, that counts as 2, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
G and I did our traditional St. Patrick's Day thing - went to Madam's Organ to hear a friend play. (For those who don't know, Madam's Organ is a dive bar in Adams Morgan. Decor features taxidermied animals, musical instruments and drawings of naked women.)

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am still in denial, ita.
I don't know this is so much harder to believe than Heath Ledger's death. I think it's the combination of random and unexpectedly awful.

I wasn't as fascinated by her career as I was with Heath's, since she's more established and less potential, but the awful and the random are potent.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
from way back:
Apparently Savannah has the second-largest St. Patrick's Day celebration (after New York, I guess?)
I wonder how many places claim that.
Kansas City, for one.

Between Natasha Richardson and tonight's Mentalist, I never want to leave the safety of my seat again. I could be gravely injured on the way to the loo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think Kansas City claims second-largest St. Pat's parade as opposed to celebration. But yeah, that's kind of why I wonder. I mean, I would guess NY, Boston and Chicago as the top 3 (not necessarily in that order).
