Drat. I have to leave the house. Was planning on a day of slounging. CJ has been invited over to a friend's place and I need to give him a ride. Plus I know the parents, so I shouldn't drop him and run - need to go say Hi.

Don't know if I'm just still tired from yesterday or if I'm really getting sick. My throat hates me and I'm still snotty. Meh. On the other hand, we have been watching Doctor Who today. I've never watched before and I'm getting sucked in.

Went to the U District Street Fair and had a grand time people watching and wandering the booths. Lordy, how I love street fairs and university neighborhoods and to have both in one place was pretty splendid.

Got some marinade/rub/bbq sauce from one vendor and an awesome bratwurst with grilled onions. I wanted a strawberry shortcake but it looked like just way too much gluttony for one person.

There was a man in the TJs this morning in a bathrobe and slippers. I don't know if he was wearing anything under the robe, but his lower legs were bare, so if he was, it wasn't full length PJ bottoms.

Nora, congrats on getting to your new home!

Perkins, it sounds like the Dude still abides.

@feministhulk is terrific.

In a little bit I'll be checking out the freezer gimlets I made last night. Here's to boozetastic limes!

Freezer gimlets? Do tell!

These are freezer gimlets: [link]

I swapped a 1:1 solution of simple syrup and freshly squeezed lime juice for the Roses Lime, as I'm trying to avoid HFCS.

And now I have my first one in the glass. Yummmmmm!

What do you think? Bitchiest comeback ever?

Hey Tommyrot, I know you've been missing Fabulon as much as I have. But look! All the writers have their own little blogs.

(That particular entry almost made me spit take my coffee.)

I am sick of the HPV commercials too--and they seem super bitchy to anyone who already HAS HPV. I mean, way to rub in that she might get cancer and it's too late to do anything about it? And since so many people have it...

Hec, that's pretty bitchy. And funny.

offer~ma for msbelle's place!

Roger Ebert left his Macbook Pro in a cab in Cannes. It's the one with his voice program on it. There's a reward for its return but it remains unfound. I hope he gets it back.

My motivation is AWOL today.
