Guys! We bright home an adorable little foster puppy today. He's about four and a half months old and a Shepherd mix. So mellow. At the moment he's malnourished and had a bad gouge on his face, so we are getting him fattened up and healed to be ready for his forever family.

That is totally one of the reasons I like Shonda's shows though. Minorities are all over them--not just one token semi-main cast member, but multiple, AND random side characters. An I still assume its not representative (if for nothing else than there are way more Asians than that in Seattle, and I feel like reality would also have more Indian and or Philippine nurses or doctors)

We're up to two network shows with a non-white lead, right?

Last Resort, except it's been cancelled...

What components of the recipe cause the fluffiness? I'm not looking for a muffin recipe, since I already know the flavour profile I'm looking for--I just want to know what ingredients switched around would get me a less dense crumb.

Beats the heck out of me. If I were trying to make a certain muffin I think I'd find a recipe with the texture I like and then tweak the flavors.

I don't know how to tweak 1/2 a cup of grated carrot, 1 cup of pineapple, and 1/2 a cop of raisins. What I'm tweaking is the cinnamon/ginger/nutmeg spices, but the bulk of the muffins' flavour is coming from ingredients whose volume and composition are a significant factor of the texture. I have no idea how I'd have gotten from your recipe to mine without reworking the whole thing so much I wouldn't know if I'd got fluffiness left. Or am I looking at it wrong? I've grabbed little bits of other recipes and put them in mine, and so far, I think it's okay.

Yes! Revenge is what I was looking for from the SMG show.

I had forgotten to consider sitcoms when counting minority leads. That's ridiculous if the networks are only managing one, but it's not like it's surprising.

It does make me crazy that there's yet another class of new interns on GA and are any of them Asian?

Puppy!!!!!!

Got in yesterday afternoon after nearly missIng the Sydney flight AND then getting a middle seat on a full flight. But then got to watch msbelle watch mac's soccer game, which was well worthwhile, I'm telling you.

They suffered through me barely staying awake and I slept so hard, though I had obsessive dreams about pumpkin pie, which I can't explain. I'll get home finally later this evening and do a ton of laundry.

Miss Bailey is faithfully attending to me aka getting snuggled.

There's a dreamlike quality to my memories of being in Australia. A bit jet lag, sleep dep and all that. Outback! Rainforest! Kangas! Wallabies! Outback roadhouses! Swimming in the ocean on theGreat Barrier Reef! Eclipse! All the fun of my nephews and bonding with my SIL! ( And of course, my unbroken travel with family abroad and get up to no good streak remaining unbroken.)

( it feels odd to call her an inlaw because she's just family, where we can let it all out now.)

Our new(ish) CFO is in love with having meetings. We never had meetings, except on the fly here and there, as needed, until he came here. Now he comes up with all these reasons to have meetings, and he has multi-item agendas for the meetings, even when the meeting is about only one thing.

We had to get a new copier/printer, and we have had 2 meetings about it already, and have to have another one this morning. It's a damn printer! Just tell me what we bought, and have the tech guy give me the printer drivers, and I'm good. I don't give a crap about anything else!

How can you have a 7-item agenda for Meeting #3 about a damn PRINTER?!?

We who are about to meet salute you.
