Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Nope, no warranty--and I've had the house for about a year and a half now, so that'd be out anyway.

I mostly wanted to make sure that hot water heater problems are still a plumber call, and not some other type person. I can call the plumbers that came out before, they were nice (even if they didn't really find a problem). Had to look up the check I used back then, make sure who it was!

Someone remind me to be a responsible grown-up type. Because one of the two limited-edition versions of the "Bela Lugosi's Dead" single I covet is currently on eBay at a very reasonable price. I don't need it. I know that. But oh! How I wants it. [link]

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

It is probably the pilot light. The first time it happened to me, I watched the plumber and asked questions, so I've been able to do it myself since. It does help to have a longer clicky fire thing.

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

Okay, I love this cartoon. It's "physics" goodness.

Well, since the hot water provides my heat, hopefully I can get a plumber out pretty early tomorrow (though I have a 10AM doctor's appointment, so it may get pretty chilly in here before I can get someone!)

Yikes, meara. Stay warm!

Cass -- did you like the station?? I had so much fun listening to it today.

I got my room cleaned and organized, finished laundry and did dishes. I'd wanted to make chicken salad for tomorrow but ran out of time. Went to a lovely Lessons & Carols service at my sister's church (they have an awesome choir that she and her partner and my niece are all in), and then we all + my mom and a few friends went out to dinner after. Nice!

Buffistas, please remind me to buy small presents next year. I have my largest suitcase and a hockey bag sized duffel packed full of gifts for my family. With a week's worth of clothes for me tucked in here and there.

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

I just linked her to Derailing for Dummies.

Awesome.

So it seems Kim Jong Il has died.

Yeah, I just saw that on BBC. [link]
