I have decided to call my new shuffle Toph, for she is a tiny green rock machine. Oh yeah.

Fuck yeah. Toph Rocks! Also she Metals.

In Step is almost perfect! the first bits are jarring and if I could start 24 counts later that would be ideal.

I have the first chunk choreographed (for a hysterical image, imagine me in my pink JPL sweats with a pink Boise State shirt on in my living room working this out) to the end of Roy Orbison sample. I think I'm going to assign other parts for the girls to try to choreograph. And we'll work it over the summer. Mebbe?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

When isn't Girl Talk a great suggestion. It works for all occasions.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

We literally had the microwave meltdown last night -- well, at least the plastic lining the top of the chamber. I put in some popcorn for 4:45, just as usually do, but it more than charred -- smoke all over, just enough to make the smoke detector start up when I opened the oven door.

I guess I'll be buying a new microwave today.

Car Slams Into CTA Train After Expressway Accident (VIDEO)

CHICAGO (AP) -- Service on the Chicago Transit Authority's Blue Line was disrupted early Thursday when an auto involved in an accident on the adjacent Eisenhower Expressway jumped a retaining wall and landed on the tracks, where it was hit by a train.

According to CTA spokeswoman Kimberly Myles, seven of the train's 30 passengers complained of minor injuries and were taken to area hospitals.

Authorities said the driver of the auto got out before it was hit. However, two people in another vehicle involved in the expressway accident were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Chicago Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the expressway accident involved three autos, with one of them hurtling the barrier between the tracks and expressway. The auto became wedged under the front car of the train.

Service along the Blue Line on Chicago's West Side was shut down for more than three hours
