Happy Birthday Jon!
Sandra Lee's meals only save money if you have a bulk purchasing discount with the liquor distributors like she does.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I'm trying to save money on food, fresh herbs are the very first thing that I stop buying. And she's not even eating the rosemary -- she's using it as a garnish.

Cool beans - a couple places in SF are showing programs of the Oscar nominated shorts, both animated and live action.

Excellent! Btw, my Francophile-cineaste, did you know that Henri-George Clouzot's Inferno (the documentary about his unfinished film with Romy Schneider) is playing at the Roxie? I've seen the clips on YouTube and what film he actually shot is unbelievably ravishing.

I did not know. My movie focus has been almost entirely on Oscar watching.

Oscars vs. lost French art film? Prole!
Need I remind you that Crash won a few years ago?
Whoa, the Roxie is showing a triple bill of After School Specials. Fun!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
As an almost-overlooked last resort, I decided to check my cable bin before I did some online shopping. ::is sheepish:: Yes, I have a video component cable. Yes, I have audio cables. Yes, I have a number of short network cables.
And many other cables I can't identify.
So now all my peripherals are hooked up to the TV and to the network.
Where's a simple place to find the maximum resolutions transmitted by each sort of hookup (HDMI, DVI, component, etc)? I realise I've kinda been guessing.

Because books.
The nursery at church this morning wore me out. Five toddlers, one of whom wanted to be on my hip while I was walking around (no sitting!) at all times, and two diaper changes, since the very sweet college girl in there with me seemed to think I was more qualified.
I don't miss toddlers so much anymore. Today anyway.
And I had no waffles. I think it's time to pout.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Happy Birthday, Jon!

It's the best kind of shopping - in your own house.
Jilli does this about once a week, I think. She wades into the room of petticoats and goes spelunking for treasure.
