Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The clafoutis came out seriously puffy. I had to pick blueberries off the bottom of the over where they fell out.
How long do I have to let it cool? Just enough to not give myself third-degree burns?

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

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I am waiting with bated breath to see how it tastes. Clafoutis, not bumper stickers. If you know how shoe bumper stickers taste, do not tell me.
I am having way more caffeine than is the norm, what with the parentals' coffee break and all, but I am not complaining about it because it is awesome Kona coffee that they buy green and roast and grind themselves.
I figure I can go through caffeine withdrawal when I get home.

It tastes good! It deflated substantially as it cooled. I don't think I used quite enough fruit, and I feel a little guilty eating what's basically a custard. Though not guilty enough to top eating it.

Mmmmmmm, custard.
In other news, does anyone know of any reason not to use ING for CDs and such? I'm thinking of putting some money into CDs, and they seem to have some of the better rates. But I'm a little bank-shy these days. Not quite "shove it under a mattress" level shy. But concerned.

The history of the boombox: [link]
Lot's of pictures of early boomboxes and shots from movies featuring them....
Again, Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon graces us with another portable-- this one suffers a sad fate. One facet of the mid-80s that we fail to recall is that when youths felt the need to breakdance, they would drop a radio and start doing it regardless of time or place, like in this movie theater. The dance session is cut short as one angry moviegoer applied some street justice, ending the life of this helpless boombox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like ING and use them myself.

If ING is FDIC-insured, you should be good.

Thanks, Jesse. [ETA: And thanks, flea.] It's sort of between ING and HSBC right now. Mostly because those are two that I've heard of. (Advertising money well spent, I guess. Go them.) But ING seems to have some sort of New Zealand fund freeze issue, and HSBC's Chairman is apparently a priest. Which isn't bad per se, but does make me go, "Bwuh?"
