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

Having recently rewatched much of the first series, I was struck by how closely the first episode hewed to the original. I found it very satisfying. Cosmos played such a seminal role in my whole world view.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I feel entitled to be pissed, but yelling never is the right choice, it's usually just the one closest to hand.

Ha, man, I will let you know when I get this one worked out. You are not alone, sister.

Ok, so some of you saw this on fb, but I wanted to link for those who didn't: this is the photo I submitted yesterday to Skateistan's #dayinthelife photo exchange event for International Women's Day. The girls in their skateboarding program in Afghanistan will judge the photos and choose a winner. I just love the idea of these young women looking at photos of adult women all over the world in their various roles and learning to visualize a different future for themselves. I just really really like this org.

I love the way my husband works with food. He made Thousand Island Chicken the other night (chicken breast, Thousand Island dressing, bake, may be low-brow but delicious). There was lots left over. He broke up the meat, added some more dressing, et voila, the most scrumptious sandwich filling ever (except for good egg salad, which does not have peppers in it, what are you thinking, people?). Nom nom nom.

Hubby used Snopes on a friend of his on Facebook! A) I didn't know Hubby knew was Snopes was, and B) I'm always highly amused when he gets his righteous indignation on.

What a great idea, Liese, and I love that photo of you!

I'm wondering if my local public radio stations are regretting running their spring pledge drives over the time change weekend.

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

Ugh, aurelia, what a PITA! I hope it doesn't get worse.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thank goodness I am feeling better today! Not 100%, but functioning, at least. Phew.

On the flip side, I don't know why I don't really look at my clothes when I'm getting dressed, but my dress today basically looks like someone threw a cup of detergent on it and didn't rinse. I don't know why! I'm trying to clean it off , but overall will hope that there is enough of it that it looks like the dress has a (weird, irregular) pattern. Yikes.

Weird! I'm sure people will assume it's supposed to look like that. I do the same not really looking at my clothes thing, of course, and usually it doesn't matter.

I would like another 8 hours of sleep, please, last night didn't take.
