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.
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Was that the one about how non-religious people know more about religion than people of faith?
Well, that was one of the headlines, sure.
Jen, yep. It's streaming online: [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Ah, God in America aka The Project That Wouldn't Die. It was one of those jobs we just assumed would stay in limbo forever, fading away and then coming back months later with a different production company name. I couldn't believe it when they actually went to license!!
I'm writing a Dylan run-book for my in-laws for when they come to sit next weekend. Seeing every minute detail of my day written down is making me think this parenting gig is way underpaid.

Ha! Of course that was before my time, but I'm pretty sure there was some of that in my office as well.

Oh, cool. Thx. Man, I love living in the future! I wonder what fabulous things I'll never get to see or try because they won't be invented or posible for a hundred years. Oh, friend is here, yay!

Does anyone else use a butter bell? This is the third time I've gone to get butter and the whole lump has fallen into the water, and I'm getting a little peeved about it.

The Saints game is much more relaxing this week, so far.

Art Crawl!!!
I've never heard of a butter bell!
I spent most of yesterday watching stuff On Demand. I caught up on c.s.i., The Good Wife, NCIS, NCIS: LA and Parenthood.
Think of poor Sarah Braverman's dilemma: having to choose between Kevin Alejandro and William Baldwin. And the show also makes me tear up. I don't cry the way I do with FNL but it's easy to see the family resemblance. Fun to see Minka Kelly on NBC at the same time that Scott Porter is over at CBS. ..now if only somebody like Gaius Charles showed up on Detroit 187.
Seriously, if I could somehow grab all 3 network shows that run at 9 central on Tuesday, I would.

Excellent in theory, not so much in practice, unless there's some trick no one's telling me.
