Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

cheeeeeeeese

(I need to do further experiments with making my own, speaking of which.)

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

Hallmark seems to be edging out of the free e-card business. Which is a shame for my father, since his birthday card will play him mariachi. Actually, I like the card so much I played it twice. Okay, three times, because it won't let me personalise it...it's getting old.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. We were at a surprise party for one of our friends. Someone had bought him a mass birthday card and was passing it around to be signed. I had opened it to sign it (first) and had turned to chat with one of my kiddoes in the meanwhile. Of course it was a music playing card, a really obnoxious one.

So I was hearing it play and thinking to myself, sheesh, whoever has that phone needs to shut it up. Annoying! And then I looked down, and realized...it was me. Oops!

Then I had to scurry to sign the card so it would stop harassing me.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

I tend to prefer sweet wines to a point (astis, rieslings, and lambruscos), but it can get too sweet. I tried a red wine imported from Israel once that tasted like syrup.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Apropos of nothing...

Ha. I just went to smack talk my niece, but didn't because her favorite hockey team was beating my favorite hockey team 5-0. In the first period. But mine just beat hers 6-5 in overtime.

Is icewine like eiswein? Because I've tried eiswein and didn't care for it, which is disappointing because the way it's made is so nifty.

I think they're the same thing in different languages, -t. But please, someone feel free to mock me and correct me

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I've never had icewine, but I now want to seek it out to try it.

Is FlashForward on tonight? If so I hope I set up tivo to tape it. Must start watching my backlog soon.

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

Right, eiswein is the German form -- Germany is the other major maker.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Is FlashForward on tonight?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

But maybe you can have a blackout for 44 minutes and see it early.
