Thanks, Kat! I finally used the awesome Bobbsey Twins notebook you made me years ago for this trip, and it was PERFECT -- I think I have one blank page left. And many people complimented it, and were super-impressed that someone I know made it.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HA! I just found another one I had made, The Great Depression, but the cover is almost off. SAD.
I miss making things. Right now, my life is full of things I can't control.
We're leaving for Idaho on Thursday. I need some book recs... anything I must read?

My best to Bob & Best Friend, lisah.
DH got quoted by the NYT, which has made his day: [link]
Jeff Abramson, a senior analyst at the Arms Control Association, a private group in Washington, said the new policy “sets the stage for progress in space arms control — without getting into specifics.”
I am so swamped with work right now, and July is not going to be fun because we are all on overlapping vacations for most of the month.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lots of ~ma headed to you and Bob and your BF.
Kat, I'm so glad you got to sleep in. Wonderful.
Jesse, I want to hear more about where you went in Turkey! I spent ten days there after I finished my Peace Corps service and it was the best vacation of my life. Did you visit an underground city? Walk barefoot up the hill in Pamukkale? Swim and laze on a volcanic beach? Go to a hamam? Drink lots of apple tea? Shop for carpets and kilims? Eat lots of seafood? See bellydancers and/or whirling dervishes?

Wait a minute. Time Magazine agrees that middlebrow is not the solution? That's kind of like Trotsky saying that communism is not the solution, or Cosmopolitan saying that orgasms aren't the solution.
Yes, we're fully conscious of the irony of the situation.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is the ENTIRE chain restaurant industry now being run by stoners???
KFC's Double Down sandwich couldn't hold the spotlight forever...we knew it was only a matter of time before someone pushed the envelope even further. And here it is: the Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt from Friendly's.
The name "Grilled Cheese BurgerMelt" hardly does justice to this psycho-brilliant monstrosity, which amounts to three sandwiches morphed into one: First, there's a Friendly's Big Beef burger, but instead of a bun, there are two (count 'em, two!) grilled cheese sandwiches.
Just because it is possible to stack an infinite number of sandwiches on top of each other does not make it a good idea! There must be limits!

Ack! The pressure.
I've actually got a heavy slate of HiLo writing coming up with profiles on everybody from Buck Owens to Diana Rigg. (Oh no, I'll have to watch multiple episodes of The Avengers as research.) And then I've got a longer article that will expand on an old LJ post of mine about Proto-Goth in the early sixties. (That's 1960s, so you don't confuse my thesis with Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am very tired. But lately it seems I can't drink coffee or tea without getting sick to my stomach. So no caffeine for me....

Dagwood disputes this argument.
