These are sandburrs: [link] , never heard of making wine from them and have no plans to. They are a pain in every sense.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, ita. I hope the meds are in and working by now.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
ita, I hope your feeling better now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh ita, I hope you are feeling better by now. Sounds like it was a particularly bad morning.
Relatedly, I notice that most of the posting this am is from the West Coast. What? Is everyone else out for brunch? We were planning on brunching at the Farmers Market this am, but it's a bit wet out for that.

Oh man, I'm totally sucked into watching God In America, which I taped off PBS last week. Fascinating! And the music is really good -- I keep getting swept up in the emotion. Remember that Pew religion survey that came out the other week? Pew was a major funder of this show.

Was that the one about how non-religious people know more about religion than people of faith? The Girl has been reading America's Four Gods, which sounds very interesting. (My research involves a lot of sociology of religion. I love this stuff.)

I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up for a belated b-day lunch. It's beautiful out today. Will miss seeing the Ravens game, but I have my Ravens shirt on nonetheless. I'm a convert! Am curious about God in America, Jesse - is it a documentary? PBS? Hope you are much better now, ita.

Because books.
I'm home alone this weekend, so I've been making pancakes and planning baking for later, while listening to, uh, show tunes.
I feel like my mom.
ita, I hope the meds kicked in and you get some good pain-free sleep today.
