Sara, I am coming to terms with the idea that Homer destroyed my bath mat while I was gone (I've been thinking I can wash it with bleach and it will be OK, but I am not confident of that...), but I figure that's not a terrible result, all things considered.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Joel Stein changed his facebook status to: "Didn’t meant to insult Indians with my column this week. Also stupidly assumed their emails would follow that Gandhi non-violence thing."
I stupidly assume that he is TOTALLY COOL when he is the target of racist commentary and attacks.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Didn’t meant to insult Indians with my column this week.
Then perhaps you should haven't written about how they ruined your hometown and a lot of them are stupid so their country is poor and you think you should have made fun of their religion when you were a kid and how, geez, spicy food makes you feel so alienated.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Also love how he got the line about Indians now looking like Guidos in there, because apparently the producers of "Jersey Shore," "Real Housewives of New Jersey," "Jersey Couture," "Jerseylicious," and "Cake Boss" have made a rule against writing anything about New Jersey without including the word "Guido."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We had burritos at the F2F? Or have I been skimming? Is this a non-burrito place? Or a burrito place at which I had non-burrito food?
No, no - the breakfast place we went out to, just the two of us. Just a fancy little corner place in Noe Valley. You were in love with their eggs and rosemary bread toast.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
was surprised (and not a little embarrassed) to discover that Krav Maga wasn't a Klingon thing
Someone missed the trendiness of eight years ago.

Oh, yeah! I mean, I remember going out to breakfast with you, but all the burrito talk made me wonder if we went to a burrito place and I didn't realize it was a burrito place.
Those eggs were so good (scrambled with Jarlsberg and avocado -- I replicate that combo all the time)! Almost as good as the company.

Was there anything on the Daily Show or Colbert in the last week and a half that I absolutely shouldn't miss?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gary's grandfather passed away yesterday, at the age of 97. Not totally unexpected, as he had been sick, but still sad. Gary and his mom have gone up to New York, where the funeral will be. I decided not to go, as I didn't think I could take the time off.

Loki's a known paper shredder, and has gone after the inserts before, but today, they were extra thick and jammed in the mailslot, so they stayed put while he went to town. I'm sure he thought the mailperson had given him the best present EVAH!
OK, bills all caught up and (ironically) shredding of other mail done.
Condolences, Sheryl.
