Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

So, I have decided that I cannot read my rss feeds today, nor can I read twitter. I have decided to do some online shopping and watch the guild instead.

I've got HGTV on my TV, LeNubian. It seems to be a safe choice.

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

okay, thank you. I have "The Wire", but I think I would like something a bit more upbeat.

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

I was determined not to watch any 9/11 memorials today. I don't want to be bawling my eyes out all day. Then my sister called me crying and asked me to turn on CNN where Paul Simon was playing and singing Sound of Silence, and I can't say no, now can I? So now I'm all teary.

And my niece decided today was the day to go driving around DC in a white van with expired plates, completely unaware of the heightened security. ISTG.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Turns out my day is going to be almost entirely devoted to children's birthday parties. 3 of them (although I am only chaperoning for 2). My yesterday? Devoted to children's soccer games, plus laundry and grocery shopping.

No Klondike bars ftr, but DH had to go out later and correct my failure to purchase ice cream.

Hugs and warm thoughts to everyone today.

My HGTV is Canadian, so programming may vary.

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

TCM is showing New York movies all day. Or, at least, until 8. Then they're showing Casablanca and a bunch of war movies. But during the day, there's Life Begins for Andy Hardy, Pride of the Yankees, 42nd Street, Guys and Dolls, The Clock, Annie Hall, and On the Town. I probably would have replaced one of the musicals with Breakfast at Tiffany's, but still, this is a tribute I like.

Because books.

Aw, Cliff Robertson passed away yesterday.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Aw, Cliff Robertson passed away yesterday.

Bye, Charlie.

I tried to make coffee this morning before I had coffee. Predictably it went awry. Also? The toast I tried to make before I had coffee got burnt.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

No TV or radio for me today, which is fine, because I watch little non-DVR'd TV and I'll be cleaning and working today.

ita (god, Ita look so weird to my eyes!), have you any, ahem, friends with access to J-STOR and such? There should be more modern studies if you look up theses or dissertations on obeah, modern Jamaican or Carribean folk magic/religions.

Also, some links from Harvard here:
