"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why are plane tickets about $100 more expensive than when I checked a few days ago?

Cuz cute kitties are always fucking around with Travelocity. Duh. Especially those orange ones.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Maybe because the air traffic control system went apeshit today due to a 40-year-old network card in Denver breaking down, causing a sudden flood of new air travel bookings, which bumped the price?

or because it's a few days closer to the holidays.

Maybe both.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hmm. Why would being closer to the holidays make the ticket prices higher, if I'm booking for the middle of January?

Oooh, neat. 90% chance that fare will drop by at least $50 in the next seven days.

All is well that ends in pizza.

From our daily paper:

FARIBAULT — The last two times someone broke out the front windows of Town and Rural Mercantile, the culprits failed to make entry.

The third time was the charm, but the person responsible not only left with no cash — he may have left a clue or two.

“A wallet was found at the scene,” Faribault Police Chief Dan Collins confirmed Wednesday morning.

“Now we go talk to the person to see why their wallet was at the scene,” he said.

Bring a sign, chief...

"Here's your sign"

Oh, and there are drops of blood around the broken window.

How ever will they prove the culprit?

My one roommate is Korean. For the past year I've been saying, "Oooh! Cook Korean food" and she never did.

And then then I started bringing home Korean groceries! She was all, "Oh, you MEANT it!"

I brought home some kimchi and we've been trying to age it so we can make tuna kimchi jjigae (stew).

Looks like we're going to buy a new jar because this one is nearly gone. Whoops.

We just lost about a cup of it to the fact that I've been reading too many recipies and just put some of it in ramen with a can of anchovies in sort of a half-assed jjigae. It's pretty nummy.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

“Now we go talk to the person to see why their wallet was at the scene,” he said.

I'm kinda hoping it turns out to be the drunk driver who left his license plate in your trunk last year.
