I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

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

Whoa, did everybody already see this?

On the Craig Ferguson show, on Halloween he had Amanda Palmer perform "Science Fiction Double Feature" backed by Moby, Neil Gaiman and Stephin Merritt (of Magnetic Fields).

Now that's what you do when you've got the bully pulpit. Well done, Craig.

Because books.

No one ever told me I was pronouncing Gaiman wrong. Oops.

Feels like another baking day. Pumpkin cookies, I think.

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

I'm peridot, and I've never liked it. Too yellow-greeny; I wish it were emerald.

My mom is opal, and has lots of pretty opal jewelry. I am a touch superstitious about it. Plus, opals are really delicate; she's cracked and lost a lot of them.

Fish sex! Inneresting!

D is down sick for a second day, poor guy.

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

I just got a free brownie cupcake. Whoot! Maybe it's poisonous and will kill me--we'll find out.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Just got a call from a fellow karate mom. Her son goes to school with CJ and she was calling me to express her appreciation for CJ. Her son hasn't hit his growth spurt yet and apparently there is a kid who has been teasing him and slamming L's locker door in L's face. CJ has stepped up a couple of times telling him to stop when none of L's other friends have said boo.

Stuff like that balances him blasting Eminem at 7:15 in the morning while he tries to de-snow and de-ice his bike, right outside his sister's bedroom window. The roads are too dangerous for his bike right now anyway.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Does anyone have a humidifier they love that WILL NOT BREAK after a year of use? I am so fucking sick of buying humidifiers I cannot even tell you.

I've had both Vicks and Venta break on me after one season. I need something quiet and sturdy and easy to clean.

I have a question, too, but no answer on the humidifiers. It's been a long time since I used one.

Can you roast two chickens in a regular oven at the same time?

Rock on, CJ. You got a good kid there, SuziQ.

So the general strike shut down the Port of Oakland last night (for reasons mostly having to do with supporting a longshoremans' dispute in Seattle), and then after the regular folks went home, the hard-core types graffiti'd downtown. There isn't too much trash around, but all the buildings along Broadway close to Civic Center got tagged, including cool locally-owned businesses.
