am I the patron saint of lost/abandoned animals?

Only the lucky ones. But also, keep in mind, that I didn't call you when I had a chicken issue.

Well, the dog disappeared when I was out running my errands. Will have to ask the neighbors WTH?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Goodness, Karen Gillan shaved her head for Guardians of the Galaxy. That's one way to avoid getting stereotyped as Amy Pond.

Go, Karen Gillan! That's pretty awesome.

There's a guy been parked in a Camaro in front of my house for the last 45 minutes, with the motor running. He's not doing it to keep the A/C going, since the windows are open. And he doesn't have the radio on. I'm befuddled. (And mildly annoyed.)

Ran the dogs for an hour today. I think I'm getting slower. Don't know how this is possible.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Brunch with my folks, a trip to Barnes & Noble(I gave my dad a gift card for his birthday) and grocery run. Now I relax until we go to meet Gary's mom for dinner.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am attempting to cook all the things so my CSA does not go to waste. So far, I have cut zucchini.

I did make kohlrabi and scallion fritters yesterday, gave away 3 ears of corn, some blueberries and a pepper, and my BFF grilled the rest of my peppers, made beet greens, and cherry cobbler. I also threw away a zucchini and 2 weeks worth of peas, which is sad.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I'm trying to use up all the produce in my fridge before we go on vacation next week, and I think the zucchini may defeat me. I've already crammed as much as I could into the veg chili I'm freezing to bring up with us (all the pattypan squash went in as well), and I'm still left with more than I can handle. The kids will not eat zucchini fritters or zucchini fritattas no matter how many breathless Pinterest moms claim their recipes are foolproof.

I'm thinking zucchini muffins for the drive up and maybe just bring the rest to eat up there. If I pack them next to the frozen chili, they'll stay relatively cool even in a hot car all day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

You could always shred it and freeze it for zucchini bread or muffins at a later date.

I went for a run, did some filing, did some laundry, went to the gym, stopped in to see my dad--and found him visiting with the next door neighbor! I'm so pleased.

And then I stopped at the store on the way home and because I was hungry I now have a roast chicken, some more kale (there cannot be enough kale for me this year), some kettle corn, and a quart of ice cream. Woops.

But I have kale and a fresh ear of corn and an avocado, and I will have an excellent salad with chicken on top for dinner, booyah.

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

I went to the vintage carnival on Governors Island. It was pretty cool -- all these old French carnival rides that had been restored. I'm not sure of the exact dates for them, but I'd guess ranging from about 1880 to maybe 1955, with most of the stuff pre-1920. There were also carnival games, of similar vintage.
