Early ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Sort of like java said, I can get all into it, feel some empathy for the winners/losers, and then go on with my day.
Don't get me wrong. When the Giants lost to the Angels in 2002 WS, I did not get over it for months. I was in despair for a good long while. But, mostly, when it comes to sports, it has no bearing (for me) on real life. But the Giants are another story altogether.
And, as a rule, if I have no other allegiances, I'm always rooting for the underdog.
Ghana will have a tough road. If they beat Uruguay, which is certainly doable, they will likely have to play either Brazil or Netherlands, neither of which would be easy.
I'm on my second CSA box. I think I'm going to make kale chips, roast the kolhrabi and beets, put the cauliflower in a curry, and make caprese salad and pesto with the basil.
I need to study for an exam this weekend. Bah.
I'm going to the doctor on Thursday, and the next thing on my Why Do I Have To Be An Adult?! list is the dentist.
Chicagoistas: dentist recommendations?
We went out to watch the US-Ghana match today with some friends and had a great time. I was the only one in our group rooting for Ghana, and I mostly did so under my breath; there were some seriously rabid US fans in the bar! But I'm so happy for Ghana, and hoping they can hold out against Uruguay.
In other news, Mark and I are planning a trip to New Orleans next weekend to see a college friend of his, and just to visit -- I've never been, though Mark went to Tulane. But it turns out that, um, every single hotel and B&B in the area is booked solid! Yikes! We may try to beg some floor/couch space from his friend, but if that's not forthcoming, I'm not sure what we'll do. I really want to go!
I am now up one pair of cowboy boots (uh, and a summery dress--it's hard to walk down Melrose and not look in the windows). Woohoo! They're not the pair, but they were cheap, and they'll do until the right pair come along.
Sara and I went to see Toy Story 3. She was fine -- laughed and loved it -- and I bawled at the end. Good times!
shrift, I'd recommend my dentist, but you'd have to drive up to Northbrook, so I'm guessing that's a no.
We need pictures of them Jesse, I mean ita.
I tried making Kale chips but with the Spinach I have. Not quite sure if I like them this way. I think I used too much olive oil.
