I didn't realize that hte reason kids love parades is that every single person in the parade throws candy to the kids
Oh, god yes. The kids standing by us would just chant bellow "CANDY! CANDY!" whenever there was longer than a 10-second gap between floats.
It got old REALLY quickly.
I will admit, I'm not a big parade goer, but when I have gone recently I have always been mildly confused at the lack of throws. Candy doesn't seem like a good choice, though.
Note to self: chocolate egg cream = deliciousness ∴ drink them more often.

Oh, lion, have some dignity.

OK, that is some proper big cat behavior.
And I am genuinely relieved that it had a happy ending, I was worried what I was going to see for a minute.

That is screamingly funny.
Hi all. Happy 4th for those who celebrate. I managed to get a bad cold but am otherwise enjoying our trip to San Francisco. We got to see David, JZ, Matilda and P-C. Tonight we watch fireworks from the S.S. Jerimiah O'Brien. Today is Monica's birthday so I got her a lt. Uhurah bath rob from Think Geek, which she loves.
Oh, poor lion, with the pawing and the rolling and the head-bonk against the glass.
Bleh. As the maintenance guy never called back, I re-attacked the sink, this time with a plastic snake from the hardware store. It dragged out clump after clump of horrifically smelly goo for about half an hour until it got too bent and snarly. And now the U-bend section won't reattach snugly, so I need to take it to the hardware store and ask what-up. So, sinkless for the moment, but that's really no different than the entire previous week, and hopefully when everything's all reconnected properly it'll actually drain without all that glop gumming it up.
Later, up to Tank Hill with Matilda to drink hot cocoa and watch the fireworks, and after we're home and she's in bed, beer.
