When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

shrift, tell me everything! Are you liking it? How is it supporting your efforts? Have you tried it on sleep mode?

What should I know to push me over the purchasing edge?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Question on jalapeno chopping--the cooking shows say to use gloves when cutting them. Do I really need to? I just want to slice off the white stuff to cut down on the heat and then chop them up for the chili.

I think it depends on how many there are, and how tough your skin is. If you can use a cloth or something to swipe away the seeds, that might take care of the problem. I don't think I would try to do more than one without gloves, though.

Good! One should take care of the added heat for my chili batch. I'll see if I can handle it with a paper towel to cut down on the amount of heat ick that actually gets on my hands.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I spent the longest time in the supermarket today looking for "chipotle chiles in adobo sauce." Turns out that this Ralph's puts Mexican foods separate for the other "ethnic" foods. Without any sort of signage. Next to the salad dressing. It's kind of weird.

Chicken roasting in the oven. Nice smell of rosemary in the apartment.

Eating lemon pound cake and sipping fizzy juice. I feel very self-sufficient this week.

Watching Harry's Law. It's incredibly precious. And agenda-riffic.

The Jimenez supermarket I went to today has an entire aisle of just the La Preferida canned stuff on one side and all of their rice on the other.

The only thing they didn't have that I was looking for was greek yogurt. I'll stop at the regular grocery store tomorrow and pick some up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, and don`t, under any conditions, rub your eyes while you`re doing it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

17 hats up, 2 framed pictures. I am running out of space for the hats. I think the the 3 plain sun hats won't go up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, Borders was insane. Long lines! Cafe closed!

OK, maybe not that insane. I got two CDs, two Blue-Ray movies and a Doctor Who graphic novel, all 20% off. Hmmm... Pro'lly could have gotten everything cheaper at Amazon. Plus I've gotten to the point where it feels weird buying media on optical disk, as I'm so used to iTunes, Netflix, etc.

Probably some clues to the current situation of Borders in that preceding paragraph....

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Happy birthday, Jon!!

Also do not scratch the inside of your nose while chopping jalapenos. This mistake led to me putting yogurt up my nose in an attempt to soothe the pain.
