All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Soaked in rum and put into a pie, they don't care.

Soaked in rum, nobody cares.

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

When I turned on the TV it was on one of the Twilight movies. Apparently Jacob has long hair???

Just in the first one, I think. (I haven't seen the movies, but in the books, it's a major plot point when he cuts his hair toward the beginning of the second one.)

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

I thought he grew it out again later because he thought Bella liked it better that way. Or wait? Is that considered a spoiler? Should I whitefont?

My guess is that raisin pies started being called funeral pies because they could be made at short notice.

Ginger, that makes so much sense. And I would never have thought of raisins as a primary pie filling- I don't think I'd have bought it as raisin pie. But it really is reconstituted raisins, and it was delicious. The context makes it even better.

It's 3:30 pm and I've been out wandering around Cairns since about8:30. Met up with the family, the boys had been in the lagoon since 9:30ish. Ate some Vietnamese spring rolls, had a cider ( I swear, I just eat and booze my way through trips) as I watched them, bought some original aboriginal art and a few other things. Probably jump in the pool with the boys for a bit. Family will do a fairly early dinner, given the taxi picks us up at 5 am, but I think I might tell sleep to go to hell and go talk to strangers.

You can sleep when you're dead on the way home.

SIL just suggested I pick someone up to keep me awake until 4 am. Choked back laughter. I think a twofer is a little ambitious. She still has no idea.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What kind of dog weighs 250 pounds?!?

Big slobbery mastiff named Leah.

Oh dear. That's not going to give me a complex at all.
