I could walk two blocks and get a curry, but then I wouldn't be able to make a nerdy reference about a psychic detective.

A small price to pay!

(I am fairly certain that the meal I'm making will be quite tasty.)

I have no doubt.

This Just In: TJ's garlic Naan, heated slightly in the oven, is the perfect thing to dip in a variety of TJ's dip things (such as: Tzatziki - Greek creamy garlicky cucumber dip; Hummus; Spinach Dip; even that whackass cilantro / pecan dip).

Damn. I need more naan in my life.

I really like TJ's naan.

Tom made an awesome haddock chowder. It was shockingly excellent.

So glad to hear about Nilly .

and Naan

not do much about P. S. --- he put up good fight

It was shockingly excellent.

I, too, am shocked by its excellence. Haddock - who knew?

Also, my "this just in" reference actually referred to a recent Emmett homework assignment.

He had to make a timeline connecting his personal history to social and cultural historical events.

Plus he had to render it with a metaphoric theme.

So he used clocks and when you flipped up this particular clock, about Walter Cronkite's death it said: "This just in...I'm dead. And that's the way it is."

That still cracks me up.

Also (going way back), Miracle Man, you are correct that Emmett's parsing of Constitutional Law is shakey. However, he's just shy of 13 so I'm psyched that (a) he knows there's an 8th amendment, and (b) he's against the cruel and unusual punishment.

ION, Matilda is eating cheezy poofs and watching Betty Boop.

Wait! Nilly's married! She's Mrs. Dr. Nilly and she's on her honeymoon! Woot!

Wait! Nilly's married! She's Mrs. Dr. Nilly and she's on her honeymoon! Woot!

There is no part of this statement that is not awesome.

Right? t /Jesse Also, you are a 40 y.o. father! More awesome.

Wait! Nilly's married! She's Mrs. Dr. Nilly and she's on her honeymoon! Woot!

Wheeeee.

Today was very long, and ended with me discovering I did something stupid that means I have to go into the office early tomorrow.

The Nilly wedding makes up for it though.

I am typing this from the comfort of my couch on my new netbook. It took forever to get it connected to my network, due to my own stupidity and poor password recall.

The netbook has been christened Muffin, as in, Just eat a, whitey.

So sorry to hear about Patrick Swayze. His sister also died incredibly young and incredibly hard from cancer. (A friend of my mom's is her kids' stepmother. She never had anything but good things to say about either of them.)

I hope it's soon announced that Kanye is entering rehab

I can't think of any other explanation. I mean, if he'd said it after the ceremony, he'd at least be following a long tradition of either sore loserhood or coming to the defense of your friends or both, depending on whether you think it's a good idea to say such things. But jumping on stage during the winner's acceptance speech? Not even if Mrs. Miller had won a Grammy.

This is at least the third on-stage outburst I can remember, though I'd say this one is the worst. This is a personality problem, not a substance problem. Though of course those two go nicely hand in hand.

I will always have to love him a little for "George Bush hates black people." But jeez, Kanye, choose your targets.
