I cleaned the bathroom top to bottom this morning, including mopping before I was supposed to take Noah to camp. Which was awesome until he came home from camp and promptly took off his cleats in the bathroom leaving dirt and grass in there.

Why do I even bother?

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

Cody is a bit OCD about not wearing shoes in the house, so cleats tend to be removed before entering.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I've been boycotting Chick Fil A for years now because of their chronic employment discrimination issues, but I'll admit that it's easier to boycott when I'm the only freak in the south who doesn't like their chicken.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

We apparently have the Bay Area's only Chick-fil-a, so there was quite a scene yesterday. Not that I was over that way, but it's in the papers.

I never got the appeal of their chicken, frankly. Just typical crappy mall food court fare, afaic. I used to like the waffle fries, but Carl's Jr has the cross-cut fries that fill that hole nicely.

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

I give up on trying to avoid Olympics spoilers. I just went to the website for a Jewish newspaper, which is a weekly paper, and they've got current results up for all the sports where there's a Jewish athlete competing. Including several sports where I wanted to wait to see the whole competition.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

This morning, Spare Cat starting doing the gagging thing on my desk, so I grabbed a piece of paper and tried to hold it to catch the hairball. Alas, it was all of her breakfast that came out rather explosively, mostly missing the paper, but not my hand or the rest of the desk.

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

Cats. Me, I don't understand why my cats have never, not once, yakked on a tile floor. Only carpet is fit for barfing on! Hey, maybe I should just cover the whole house in vinyl flooring!

I get my fried chicken at Mama Dip's, the best fried chicken in NC. Ms. Dip has not, to my knowledge, shared her opinion on LGBT rights. She does, however, provide free extra gravy with her mashed potatoes. Mama Dip's is superior on a number of levels.

Very true, but a local place has some cross-cut sweet potato fries that may just be the one true fried starchy vegetable for me.
