“Not dead yet!”

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

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!

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!

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...

Now tagless for your comfort.

Hec, that's pretty bitchy. And funny.

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.
