There was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich place in the Village for a while, iirc.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

I'm a little perplexed that Colbert was allowed to testify before Congress mostly in character.
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?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Does she own The Reef that's now replaced it? I ate at Blue Fish once during the street fair (and it was yummy), but the dinner prices generally kept me away.
She owns The Reef that replaced it. And, they have reduced their dinner prices and kept the chef from before. So, same yummy taste. Lower prices. Win!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
OMFG, Lifetime made a movie based on Reviving Ophelia ? I think I have to record it just so I can be properly pissed, b/c it's sure to be a trainwreck.

Wasn't that non-fiction, smonster? I couldn't figure that out when I saw the commercial.

Yes! It was a critical examination of the shitty societal messages adolescent girls internalize. I don't really recall there being any narrative thread throughout, though I haven't read it in over a decade. I just have this bad feeling it's going to get turned into histrionics and victim-blaming. Yanno, since it's Lifetime.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Yeah, Colbert testifying in character made me uneasy. OTOH, megan walker is right.
Just realized last night that I was depending on sleeping in the Zipcar at Harbin Hot Springs. And didn't think about the fact that I'd have to drag an air mattress and sleeping bag with me on the plane trip to do that. I cannot carry or hold things for long periods so I can only travel with what I can fit in a backpack. Oops.
I was discussing this with my mother and she suggested I borrow their caravan. Which is weird because they've been very "hands off!" about it hitherto. However, if both parents sign off on it, it could be a good solution. I will lose my airfare because I bought non-refundable on SW. So that's a bit over 100 clams. But I'll save the 240 clams it would have cost me to buy a single/shared bath room for 4 nights. It'll make it harder to go to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass because parking near my cousins' place in SF is freaking impossible, but it will make it easier to go everywhere else, including places I thought I wouldn't be able to visit due to their remoteness. So, if the car doesn't break down on me, this could be a very good thing!
