And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yesterday Dylan was over at a friends' backyard with a bunch of other kids and got into a shouting match over whether or not fairies were real. (I'm not sure how it started exactly - they were all building a fairy house together, and I guess Dylan must have said something about playing pretend.) It ended like this:

Neighbor-girl: Faires ARE TOO REAL!
Dylan: No, they're not!
Neighbor-girl: YES, THEY ARE
Dylan: No, fairies are not real!
Neighbor-girl: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ANYWAY, YOU'RE JUST A BOY! <flounce>
Dylan: I DO TOO, I KNOW EVERYTHING!!

Today, we did wind up at Coney Island, but we took the subway. Biking there probably would have been fine, but biking back after 2 hours in the sun, no.

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

Egg whites supposedly freeze okay. I've got a bunch in the freezer, actually, but I have yet to defrost them and see how they hold up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aimee, I'm so sorry about your friend.

And now I have half a dozen extra egg whites. What do I do with them?

Meringues or scramble, is my general answer. Or, in real life, leave them in the fridge for a week and then throw them out.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I may try meringues; I made some at Christmas last year and they came out pretty well. But I'll have to borrow my sister's frosting tube thing.

Our wings are not tired.

Ah, what would the late night comedians and editorial cartoonists do without colorful politicians?

You can just make lumps with a spoon -- less pretty obviously, but still as delicious.

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

Oh Aimee, how sad, she sounds like a great person. I'm sorry.

So I woke up this morning with Monica to discover I had been sleeping on a piece of chocolate. It melted all over my back and the bed sheet.

And with that, I think tommyrot wins at weekend plans.
