Nah.
Had an awesome dinner. Eggplant Marsala, which I would have assumed would be totally common, a la eggplant v. chicken parmesan. And yet, about three recipes online. None of which I used, me being me.
Also minted peas, with mint from the garden and fresh shelled peas from the farmers market. Nom. This prompted the discovery that I have yet another cat who is mad for peas. WTH, cats?
I'm in the 2nd half of the Ger vs Aus match. Sad to see Aussies getting their butts kicked. All I can think about is, those stupid horns the audience is blowing sound like a nasty swarm of bees.
omnis, after watching 1.5 games, I had to stop watching. The horns! I actually sighed with relief when I changed the channel.
I think they are more annoying than the "Thunder Sticks" at the Angels baseball game. And if both fans are blowing, how can you show you are cheering for your team? I guess I'm looking for logic in football.
ION- I think I left Dallas too soon. The Sound Designer that is working on "It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's Superman" at my old job, well, he just won the Tony Award for Best Sound Design. Hats off to you Robert Kaplowitz. Congrats.
{{Bonny}} What everyone said about it. I have nothing smart to add.
And congrats, Seska!
Edit, for you amusement, I hereby introduce a real scene from my afk life, from a week ago:
Fellow Students, leaving the room after the class was ending: Shir, we'll be outside, smoking.
Me (confused): Is there something you need from me?
FS (surprised, defensive): We're trying to be friendly.
I think I skipped the "Mingling and Making Friends 101" class (Never mind that in the end of year, everyone wants to be my friend. Because I take notes).
FWIW, Shir, I would probably also have been all "...and?"
I take comfort in the fact that there are likely other people in mai buffista world who, while watching Bones, more than occasionally think that Temperence isn't the one being weird.

Ya, I'm not that great at it too. But I'm happy to teach you all I know. When ya coming out? It might take YEARS. Lucky I have that other bedroom. :: whistles innocently ::
ION- oven is still smoking. Dunno what it is. The smoke is a LOT less, and really fine. Doesn't seem to leave a taste on the cookies. But doesn't feel good breathing in. Oh, and I under baked the cookies. Shame. Guess I'll have to eat them all myself.
Also, just started watching Mad Men. Season 1. When the kids are playing
spacemen, and the daughter is
wearing a dry cleaning bag
. And the mothers only reaction is
I better not find my clean clothes on the floor
. Hilarious! I think I'll keep watching. Although the misogyny makes my skin crawl.

Maybe you should get that checked out?
At least now it's a fine smoke. Barely seen. But enough that the smoke detector went off for about 30 seconds. What ever it is, it seems to be burning off.
