Yay! It was just 11:11:11 11/11/11 here.
ION, we just heard gunshots. Turns out it was for a Veterans' Day ceremony at the memorial across the street.
I had a whole section about civic pride.

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.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
In retrospect, possibly the creepiest article ever. [link] Sports Illustrated article about Sandusky from 1999, all about how much he loves kids. There had been a photo with it, of him with a bunch of kids, but that's gone from most reputable parts of the internet, since the grand jury report identified one of the victims as one of the kids in the photo.
And the writer talks about it now: [link]

That Biggie/baby vid is awesome! So much for washing machine/vacuums/car rides; give 'em some hip-hop!
Hee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jen, I'm excited for you and Philly!!

Love the Biggie/baby vid (ooh, suddenly that sounds horrific and slashtastic), but when I first saw the link I thought it was like that "Obama calms a baby" video--that Biggie holds the baby! I think I like the music even better.
I don't wanna work. I also don't wanna bang on a drum all day...I just want my work to magically get done.

not your mom's socks.
Almost seven-year-old has viral croup. Is devastated over postponement of birthday party. Will never forgive us. We are exhausted and prone to buying Harry Potter movies to make it better.
I'd forgotten how much I hate the sound of croup cough. It can go away anytime now.

Oh yucky Sox. I hope the yougin feels better soon.
KCD drama is in a holding pattern at the moment, which means I'm not feeling as strung out as I had been the last couple of days. It could change on a dime, but for now I'm enjoying the feeling.
Work is driving me nuts at the moment. I have a bunch of e-mails out to people asking for information on a variety of projects and I'm kinda stuck until I hear back. So I have lots of work but nothing I can work on. I've also run out of internets (that pass the net nanny, at least).

Oh no! Get better soon.
I think we'll use this rainy day as an excuse to get the Harry Potter DVD.
I just made waffles to the delight of the whole household. I only make them about three or four times a year, because I do the whole Joy of Cooking version with whipped egg whites and it's a production. But they're so much better and lighter and amazing.
And actually, I've gotten it down at this point so I can do it in about 35 minutes, instead of almost an hour when I had to keep referring back to the cookbook (or whip the egg whites by hand).

You're a better cook than I; I just buy the Krust-ez Belgian Waffle mix.
