How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

I had crackers and cheese as about half of my dinner. The other half was salad, with blue cheese. Mmmmm, cheese.

Punishingly Intricate

My soup (lentils, sausage, fennel) won't be ready for another half hour, and now I'm thinking I should have just made a box of mac'n'cheese. 'Cause you know what lentil soup doesn't have in it? CHEESE!

EXACTLY! My planned dish was a cheeseless quinoa stew. bullshit! Although I do love a lentil sausage soup. I may have some in the freezer actually. How long do those types of things last anyway? Frozen soup or chili type things in tupperware?

Sleet has started. I rescheduled my vet appt to Friday and I'm hoping work is closed if it is bad. About to do something sphincter clenching that I'm not 100% about at work. There are a couple alternative is something goes wrong, but I'm not happy about it. But it's crunch time and we're in the hole.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I had popcorn for dinner.

Also, I don't understand why mashed potatoes are the thing to have with meatloaf -- although I understand how delicious they are together, why not baked potatoes? You already have the oven on!

I was glad to see that my super and his friend next door pre-salted our sidewalk, so when it snows over night (apparently) we should still be fine.

Ooh, I want meatloaf.

Apparently this 17 year old also has two cars of her own, that she doesn not share with her parents, a Hummer and some other luxury brand. This is so alien to me--

Are her parents Ben Stein (and did anyone else see that sickening column in the Times this morning)?

criminal misuse of Sherif

Omar Sharif? Was he Constantine? I thought he looked familiar and they were doing weird shots like "This man is important!"

edit: When we got to that point, I looked at Hubby and said, "Now with added revivial of faith!"

So the bureaucrazy at UAB is so bad that despite getting all his paperwork in back in December, my brother has not yet gotten a paycheck. And may not for another month. And the insurance enrollment hasn't processed. The fuck? I'd be littering the streets with bodies. For all I know, he may be running a scorched earth campaign, but still. That's nuts. And evil to do to a new, poor postdoc.

Oh, my. Maddow's interviewing Blagojevich right now, and she's looked on the verge of breaking down laughing repeatedly. I can't blame her, I'm giggling at his invocation of Mother Theresa myself.

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