Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I had my first Vesper martini last night and I must say "Yum!". Also I learned a new card game called Slick that is oh so very fun and has an insane number of rules. Oh and it was fun not just because I won (pure luck).
Sadly, out in the Sunset where I was, we had only one TorTer. An adorable teeny tiny green bean.
There is a cat on my butt. Somewhat relatedly, I fear I may have to fart.
eta: OK, kitty got off my butt. I think she sensed something was up....

Having googled, that sounds good! Deadly, but good.

Is that the SF Sunset? Are you in the area?
Sigh. I expect better from the NY Times when it comes to interpreting statistics. From an article about how many jobs were created by the stimulus money: [link]
Michigan, whose unemployment rate of 15.3 percent was the highest in the nation, reported creating or saving 22,514 jobs, the ninth most in the nation. But Rhode Island, whose 13 percent unemployment rate made it the third highest in the nation, ranked near the bottom with 2,012 jobs.
You can't compare percentages with raw numbers like that!
Slept in the extra hour this morning and I feel great. Watching the NY marathon that I taped -- no one spoil me!
I had the TV in the background, and I thought I heard them say that Cthulu had won the NYC Marathon.
I heard that too, Tom. And that he had devoured the competition.
Not reading that! I don't want to know!

It is good and it is deadly. I had two and after the second I was sort of staring off into space like a zombie and I realized I was done for the night. I've never had them before but it may be my martini of choice now. I will stick with one in the future.

Just last night. I was over at a friend's house. I did the two bridge trek (wasn't too bad actually, better than the Bay Bridge on a regular Sat. night) from the East Bay.

It's safe, unless the NYC Marathon is allowing some very unusual participants this year.
