Last night I had baked salmon with lemon and dill, and roasted Brussels sprouts. Tonight, it's back to the red lentil dal that I'll never finish eating.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

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

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Last night I had popcorn for dinner. This morning I had ice cream for breakfast. I haven't done either of these in quite a while--not since I went through my "I'm a grown up and I can eat what I want" phase. Anyway, both were quite satisfying, but I'm going back to vaguely healthy eating notions with my turkey veg wrap at lunch.

Stopped by my hemotologist's office this morning for a blood test. Have been exhausted and empty brained - ok, more than usual - lately. Took me over a week to think of checking my iron levels. Dur. Won't get the results back for a couple of days, but I feel all accomplished.
Oh, oh, and I have a sushi lunch date to look forward too (with a friend, not a date, date).

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am in full on grumpypants mode this morning.

Bankruptcy court rules DOMA unconstitutional . . .what a weird sideways way to get there. Like prosecuting Al Capone for tax evasion.

I can see the bankruptcy ruling, though. The couple was legally married but now they're being denied a standard legal benefit of marriage. The gay marriages were not declared void--were they? bad citizen for not knowing that--so the only reason for denying that marriage benefit is because someone thinks they're icky. And ickiness is not a legally recognized state.

If it's the California marriages that were done before being struck down, then the marriages are not void.

A friend of mine is being interviewed by all the local news orgs because she and her wife are affected by that ruling. It's a bummer they had to file for bankruptcy but such an awesome outcome! I'm so proud of her for being a public face for the issue.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Fantastic interview with Peter Gallagher at AV Club.
God, I'd sort of forgotten how long he's been in the business and how much theater he's done. My favorite story was him messing with Margaret Thatcher, but his stories about working with James Cagney and Jack Lemmon and Geoffrey Rush are cool too.
