(Not that I'm actually watching tonight's game.)
Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I would really like to have bedtime be smooth for like 5 straight days. really. the day was lovely otherwise.
Gerard Way
Lord, if I ever met G-way or Frank Iero, I hate to think. Staring slackjawed, geebling, or running away.
I did manage to talk to Margaret Cho like a normal person, but then I had five days to chill out.
I'm on break from class right now. We just paired off and did a little one-on-one reference interview with a classmate. I started off with trying to find info on the discovery of Ardi (australopithecine older than Lucy), which Eric (classmate) knew nothing about, but he got me just what I was looking for. Then, taking off from that topic, he asked me for info on a French woman who makes life models of early hominids whom he'd seen on a PBS documentary at some point.
I was scrambling looking for just the right search term for what she does, and ended up stumbling across her personal website after finally typing into Google "hominid sculpture". I was feeling like such an incompetent librarian before I found the info!
Margaret Cho irritated me. But she was busy jocking Lea DeLiria (sp?). So we didn't talk much.
Eric Idle? I just bolted as soon as I could. I was convinced I was going to ask him to father my children, no joke, no exaggeration. Because, thing is, I talk to famous people. Usually I trust me. Not around him. Sheer panic. I interviewed Margaret Thatcher on TV in Downing St and that was nothing (not that she could impregnate me, but I did have her picture on my wall when I was little).
This is our go-to hamburger recipe: [link] It rocks!
Cho was extremely awesome and wise in the dance workshop, and watching her joy while performing the choreo we were learning in a very imperfect manner was a reminder to me just when I needed it.
I am making a Provençal Beef Stew in the slow-cooker. The amount of mustard is troublesome. I'm assuming it mellows on cooking. Maybe I should have done burgers.
More importantly, last night I made the first clafoutis of the season.
I had a burger for lunch. It was a shrimp and scallop burger which I wouldn't have tried except I trusted the restaurant to get things right. It was yum.
Watching basketball now.
This board brought me to Leverage. I shall never doubt you again.
I would totally freak if I ever met Joan Baez. Or Bonnie Raitt. Jane Fonda but to a lesser degree.
