I have no bananas.

I do have a mug of hot red wine which is surprisingly tasty. I didn't notice it was sitting on top of the stove when I turned the oven on to 400 degrees for an hour. Oops. It was either toss a 3/4 full bottle of a nice zinfandel or tell myself it's just like mulled.

And boy-howdy do I need it after today. Though after is not really the word since I'm still in the shit.

CJ made turkey chili tonight. Boy did a good job - could have used a bit more spices, but it is the first time he has done it completely on his own.

You know what would be good? Making sandwich cookies with these [link] and sweetened mascarpone (I got some on whim. I've never had it plain before. It's like the essence of butter and cream. Kinda divine on chile cheese bread.)

Taylor and I may be baking Saturday.

I actually had a banana at work.

And I finally watched the BBD on Fallon clips!! [link] I have to say I'm impressed -- all dancing around like that, and Ricky Bell can still sing!

omg a friend just posted on fb about some jackholes in Ohio who have called a fetus as a witness in a trial about abortion, something about saying the fetus has full rights when the first heartbeat is detected. NOT ENOUGH RAGE IN THE WORLD. I may spend the rest of the evening looking up stories about child abuses and neglect and posting them with the tag, let's try taking care of the ones already here.

Oook.

Loki is intently focused on the wall and baseboard. And not just in the BUG! or cat hallucination way. The way Devi used to in the apt when there were mice under the stove. And he's tracking something.

It's probably a bug. I haven't seen mice in this house ever. Rats outside, sure.

And if it is a mouse, I've got one confirmed killer, right?

And now he's staring at the doorframe into the kitchen, about 3 feet up. Freaky.

Even *if* I gave them the heartbeat makes for human and not just cells with potential, that fetus has no critical thinking skills.

I fully support the linking to stories, msbelle.

And if it is a mouse, I've got one confirmed killer, right?

Yes. And I would like to borrow said killer. I heard something the cats ignored but they might just be mad I had them in jail for over two weeks. I swear, I heard something.

Devi is my killer. Not really meaning to be (she plays with them until they die of shock or trauma) but she is effective... Loki is unproven. But really intent on that wall.

My stupid cat is absolutely no use with mice. Annoying!
