But it was size 4 and it fit.

Nice!

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

There's a show on Discovery called "Who Framed Jesus?" Blurb: "The new suspects emerge in the death of Jesus." Discovery Channel programs just keep getting weirder.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hope they've come up with a time-travelling Dick Cheney.

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

Skyped with the camera on my new laptop with my sister today for the first time in months. That was nice. Never managed to get my parents fully on the Skype train. I prefer it to the phone. I'm all ready to video conference. But my mother called her during the vid call, so we talked then.

Watched Cadillac Records as part of my prep for The Losers. I'm psyched.

I just found this recipe for vodka gimlet straight up:

"Pour six ounces of vodka from a 750 ml bottle; replace with six ounces Rose's Sweetened Lime Juice (available from nearly any grocery), add a small amount of water for ice crystals, shake twice and store in the freezer overnight. Pour into a martini glass and serve straight up. The glass will immediately frost over. With this recipe, no cocktail shaker is required and the cocktail is not watered down by melting ice.

Even though it has the downside of being a Rose's gimlet (hush, bon), it has the upside of being an entire bottle of gimlet in your freezer.

Go you on the size 4, brenda.

Enh. It's okay. He's in bed an hour later and it will take a us a while to move him back to his usual 7:00 bedtime. Unfortunately, he was still up at 5:00 AM.

I am heading to bed myself as I too don't quite understand DST.

Aw, bulldog!

David, it so hard to process. Like, I'm starting to understand body dismorphia. But I feel awesome.

Anyway though, I feel like I've basically settled into a general weight and size that my (healthy) body is comfortable with. I've been in about the same 5-8 pound range for about six months now and while I eat very differently than I used to, I in no way feel like I'm dieting or restricted.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

The only religious history shows I like watching in tv are PBS ones. The History Channel and Discovery shows tend to stick just with the Bible for source material, annoyingly enough. My favorite PBS shows were the Frontline four-hour doc on early Christianity called "From Jesus to Christ," which tends to get rerun at Christmas and Easter, and the Nova two-hour doc on early Jewish history (through the Babylonian captivity and the writing of the Torah) called "The Bible's Buried Secrets."

I almost bought Rose's at Target today. I did buy Angustura, which I understand there's a shortage of?

We used to take freezer gimlets in bottled water bottles to Expos games.

Um, what?

Also, that seems more apt for Court TV.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

while I eat very differently than I used to

How so? How did you eat before, and how do you eat now?

...if you don't mind me asking.
