Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

There was a restaurant in downtown Evanston that served breakfast cereal. I think they were open very briefly but then they were closed down because they didn't have the proper license (or maybe it was a health-code violation). They never reopened.

I saw them!! I thought about going in. It looked neat. I don't remember when that was (a business trip maybe?). But then I kinda realized there was no point in spending as much as a box of breakfast cereal on...one bowl. And i think I was probably headed somewhere else to eat.

I'm just now watching last night's GA.

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

Bad Bailey!

There used to be a cereal restaurant near me, and I meant to go there with Kat's K, but it shut down before I managed. That space in general is pretty cursed.

Spidra, I know I have a pic of this wonderful top up on my alternate flickr account...but I can't even remember the credentials to it. Or I'd link from my phone.

I'm a little perplexed that Colbert was allowed to testify before Congress mostly in character. It's like him and Jon Stewart are allowed officially to make a mockery of how far off the rails government is going.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Today has been busy, you know, once I got up. Went to have lunch with mac at his school. ran 2 errands and then the parents came over. Dad built mac a table to hold 2 plastic bins of moon sand (I guess we could make more than two as they just lift in and out). Then mom and I went to get fabric to line the curtains and dad got to work fixing some rotted out boards in my backyard fence. In the middle there I met a neighbor across the street I had not yet met and also moved 5 more of those 25lb edging stones. Folded some laundry, mom made the beds, went and ran another errand and then got mac from school.

Only bad part of the day was that mom was emptying the dishwasher for me and while putting things away knocked a glass out of the cabinets and it broke. Of course it was my 1939 World's Fair juice glass. ugh. I didn't react at all, because you know, things happen, and no good would come from her knowing it cost me like $50.

Because books.

There was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich place in the Village for a while, iirc.

The way I see it, most people testify before Congress "in character" anyway, so it's okay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I've been out of the political loop for a couple weeks, but - regarding what is Colbert is testifying that being in character makes sense? How is that even legal?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay, it's Friday.
