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

Craft Magazine has a big sale on craft kits: [link]

Ring any bells?

Not really - at least not the fashion part.

Which kinda makes me think I wasn't the one who posted it, although I do roll that way....

How are you feeling, ita?

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

If you can think of a blog without the fashion, maybe that was just an errant post that's sticking with me so toss it my way if anything tickles your neurons. I can't believe google gives me no love. I keep thinking it was something like wecanseeyou.blogspot.com or the like.

How are you feeling, ita?

10 hours in the ER overnight, so I'm doing decently right now, thanks.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I definitely remember the blog you mean, ita. I can't remember the exact name, but I bet it's somewhere in this list of Google results.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Dinner was broiled ribeyes and aspargus spears with some buttered pasta and fresh, homemade yeast rolls.

Practiced making from scratch cinnamon rolls and have pie crusts stocked in the freezer.

Ack, I was returning my realtor's call (basically, she'd been playing phone tag with the seller all day but expected to get the counter from him tomorrow and wanted to let me know) when the other line rang and it was the seller.

Why do I think I'm going to be wired again tonight?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

When I lived in Australia, the kids thought PBJs were PBJello sandwiches. No wonder they all thought AMericans were nusto for eating them.

This, from the country that gave the world vegemite.

Until they start putting HFCS in vegemite, I'm still claiming moral high ground.

FTR, I was always aware that PBJs involved jam rather than jelly. I still regard it as merely a product of America's unhealthy fascination with putting peanut butter in places where it patently does not belong.

You're telling me there's something worse than - gasp - marmite?

It's basically an Aussie version thereof. Its original name was Parwill, with the slogan "If Marmite, Parwill".

You thought it stood for peanut butter and jam?

JZ, thanks! How did I miss that plagiarism brouhaha? Buffistas fell down on the job of keeping me up to date.

I am so pissed. Slowly I realise which software bits are missing from my rebuilt PC, and I realise that my licensed copy of Typograf is nowhere to be seen for reinstallation. So I have no decent Windows font manager. On the upside I finally found my copy of Adobe Professional 8, but still. I don't need to print anything to PDF right now, and I do want to evaluate fonts.

No, I knew it stood for jelly, but that what Americans call jelly, we call jam, and what we call jelly, they call jell-o.
