It was 34° when I walked out of the office sans coat tonight. I like cold weather, but I'd prefer it to transitiona little slower.
Why couldn't you be dealing drugs like normal people?

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.

I'm starting to watch Henry Louis Gates' most recent genealogy series on PBS, called Finding Your Roots. I am stunned by how dumb some actors seem to be (Adrien Grenier, I am looking at you) and how smart and charming and engaging other can be (I think Robert Downey Jr. just seduced me while discussing a Swiss ancestor who owned one cow in the census.)

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I've been wearing my Blackhawks sweatshirt around, and suddenly it was below freezing and I was all, huh, where is my actual coat?

It was locked out?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Life of Pi, Skyfall, Lincoln, Anna Karenina, or Wreck-It Ralph? Or stay in and knock some episodes off my tv queue? The 31° temp is making the latter pretty tempting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm watching Moneyball
Ooh! I've had that DVD for approximately seven million years. Perhaps when I finally finish my second task (the first was another muffin iteration, which I had knocked out before breakfast--I love that zone with a baking research project where it feels nice and automatic--in six months it'll feel like a huge production and I'll never consider it standard again. Silly me.)
During said slacking off I did follow a lot of tangents on the web, so it wasn't not fascinating. But I can't wear knowledge to a wedding, so this time I'm really serious. I mean, once I finish dessert...it would be silly to interrupt it.

Don't forget Moneyball watchers, that I am not only an A's fan, but a sabermetric geek and am available for all clarifying questions.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would stay home and clear off the tv.
We have only let the house today to go pick up mac's friend to play. I didn't even make it to the grocery store. I really have to go tomorrow.
mac and I are watching a truly horrible movie - Adventures of a Teenaged Dragon Slayer. so bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The reason it's a good movie is that nothing has to be clarified. I had no idea what was happening in any of the parts about baseball (so, you know, the whole movie), but still liked it!
Also, no amount of stupidity on the part of Adrien Grenier would surprise me.

Matilda's watching Phineas and Ferb.
I am making green lentils with a leftover bit of roast salmon. I did the mirepoix vegetables with garlic, and am using my fav French Onion stock. And I threw in some parmesan rinds too.
Smells pretty good, but lentils always take longer to cook than I expect.
