Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Kat's dinner sounds like it more than makes up for cookie fail!

The eyeliner is pretty, though spectacularly out of my good colors range, but the polish is gawjuss. And yes, like I need more blues.

Clinque's Black Honey is my staple lipstuff.

Ooh, relevant to the scents discussion the other day, the soap I unwrapped this week is from Mad Hatter Soaps on Etsy. It's called Down the Rabbit Hole, and smells like dark chocolate and black pepper. So nom. I could just go shower for an hour or two.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The San Francisco-area Buffistas, in particular, may want to catch the last segment of 60 Minutes. It shows part of the newly digitized film taken on a trolley on Market Street. It was thought to have been filmed in 1905, but the guy who runs the silent theater in Niles did a ton of research and found it was filmed one week before the 1906 earthquake and put on a train the night before. The filmmakers' studio was destroyed by the quake, as were most buildings in the film, so it becomes an eerie vision of a world about to die.

The historian that figured this out -- one of my neighbors --- and we are to celebrate right about now

Did I say woohoo Matt? If not, woo hoo, you! Or if I did, you know, again.

Dinner: steamed broccoli dusted lightly with whole sea salt, sweet potato chunks braised in butter and water with black pepper, ginger, and dill, and pork chops sauteed with rosemary, garlic, and black pepper. Nom.

You can see the Trip Down Market Street at Archive.org.

Cool. I was wondering if it was available.

I did think of y'all when they said Niles. He's definitely the hero of the piece. Tell him he's very cool.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

....and the cute girl hooking up with me didn't hurt either. (five years younger, does that count as cradle?)

Nah, I think you gotta for further back than that.

What does it say about me that I'm contemplating driving an extra hour tomorrow so that I can go back to the Sephora?

You desperately need sassy eyeliner?

Fuck yeah, Cody Ross! I swear we could run up a team of triple-A scrubs, our regular pitching and Cody Ross and be doing just as well in the post-season.

Went to see Despicable Me today. I haven't laughed myself into a near-asthma attack in ages. "Bank of Evil (Formerly Lehman Brothers)" I was the only one who laughed at that, but only because Hubby didn't catch the sign before it was off screen.

Gah, shrift, I hope you were feeling better before tackling all of that. You do more while feverish than I do at 100%.

Today I seem to have a weirdly low body temperature. I don't even know.

I think you have to be breaking the "X = Y/2 + 7" rule to really count as a cradle robber.
