This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, it doesn't help that the maryland State flag is the godawfulest flag ever. Fugly.

I like the Maryland state flag. It's got neat angles and bright colors. Plus, it's clear from a distance. New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania all have flags with little details pictures in the middle that just look like a blur from more than a few feet away.

I don't really like it as a football, uniform, though. A bit too Harlequin.

not your mom's socks.

Scrappy, that just made my day.

So if a fuse blows, but doesn't flip over to 'off', for no apparent reason, why might that be? This question is filed by the ogodogodawe'reallgoingtodie faction of my Me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

ita was on LJ three days ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The good news about today: Feels like a Monday, is actually a Tuesday!

Did someone post about the Freddie Mercury Google logo today? If feel like someone did, but I just saw it again on my FB feed, so...

Other good news about today: I still have peach cobbler.

Which I will eat after dinner. After, not for. I think that's very adult of me.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Beverly, I was wondering the same thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I know I have had this realization before, but still: Given that inertia is my biggest enemy, it is SO SMART when I do stuff after work BEFORE sitting down! And it's especially easy to do when I'm listening to a podcast that's in the middle when I get home. So I kept listening, put up my new shower curtain liner, emptied and re-filled the dishwasher, and now I have much less shame! Awesome.

I hear you. If I sit down when I come home, odds are drastically reduced that I will walk the dog, much less start dinner n' stuff.

Punishingly Intricate

The MD flag is kind of bananas. More importantly, did the Terps steal their helmet design from the Charm City Rollergirls?

Also, Cash, my old band had a roller derby song. I can get it to you if you are interested. It's called "Rollergirl"

Amy, is she doing okay?
