I was totally spoiled for Downton Abbey so of course I spent the entire episode wondering how he would be offed. I was pretty convinced that he would be accidentally shot in a hunting accident...I mean, such an opportunity for drama! Just imagine, Shrimpie accidentally kills Matthew, thus setting of a familial vendetta that could go on for generations, totally making Rose staying with the Granthams AWK WARD. Or he could be shot in the back and the whole next season would be figuring out who done him in. Or a train accident, since they split up the party for the return trip, but that would take out a LOT of other family/staff members and that would just be messy. I'm a little surprised that they went with a method that does NOT spark further drahma since it's totally turned into just a another soap opera, of course with fantastic costuming.

erin,

that is totally awesome.

Lee, I am so jealous you guys got to go to P!nk. I lurve her.

Hi, guys, look at me posting! I am pretty much out of my hideous 2 month long winter bad illness segued to a horrible awful no-good depression!

Ah, my wonky brain chemistry. Please go fuck yourself and die.

But, HI! I lurked but I missed birthdays and stuff. SO YAY to all the people who had birthdays and good news!

And now, I will Clean And Organize All The Things sp I can get back to work. And, yanno, have a clean house or something strange like that...

I was an asshole this morning. Someone questioned my judgement in making an unprotected left, so every time they honked, I threw up jazz hands. Which was more than twice. Maybe 4 times.

And then after I made the left, they roared around me... and sideswiped a beater of a truck. Um.

I may be an asshole, but clearly better driving judgement.

can anyone find me info on the giving up wheat / opiates thing? Dr. friends were giving me the you are crazy look.

I found it via googling "wheat opiates." I am slammed at work, but if you can't find anything via Dr. Google, I can try to look tonight. But all I did was google; I don't have any Super Seekrit Information.

I'm going to snap one day and scream at the drivers who look at me, the pedestrian, like I'm a giant annoyance. My favorite is when they skid to a stop at the stop sign and then wave me across, as if they're doing me this huge favor.

I walked home from work yesterday and rode my bike in today. I had no hassles from drivers, but I do avoid well traveled streets wherever possible.

I may be an asshole, but clearly better driving judgement.

So did you beep at him after he had the accident? Because that would get you asshole credit for sure, and a high five or two.

Nah, I reserve my horn for imminent danger warnings.

Huh. Fat snowflakes and rain. And it is rather dark out.

Random question for any French-speakers in the house: I have two different face cleansers that both say in English they are oil free. In the French, one says "sans huile" and the other says "non gras." Are those both correct? Just curious. (Does everyone get bilingual French/English toiletries, or is it because I'm closer to Canada?)

I had always assumed the second language was going to be spanish until I moved here. Now, it is french. Blame Canada.
