I would love butcher block. In the condo marketplace there's really nothing at all but the granite and stainless.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

Our wings are not tired.
I like granite but not stainless, and yet I have both in the house I am renovating for sale because that is what it needs to be. The Ice stuff looks interesting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My sister has granite and I always feel like I'm going to break stuff on it.
It's pretty though.

Debet,

What are the circumstances for this?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
One surfer on each of two surfboards, holding connected tin can telephones. Bonus points for style.

I'm very happy with all-black appliances—they barely show any smudges! But if owning rather than renting I'd probably want some kind of stone countertops rather than the speckled formica I currently have. (It's pretty enough, but I cracked the bathroom sink countertop by leaning on it too hard and it makes me leery of the sturdiness/heat resistance of the kitchen surfaces.)
Stone tile in the shower definitely makes this the best bathroom I've had in terms of appearance.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could probably hook you up with a minister, depending.

In other news, Angela Lansbury has finally talked me into becoming a monthly PBS supporter. I realized that I've been watching a lot more Nova and Nature lately, and even though I don't watch Downton Abbey it's the kind of Merchant Ivory-esque programming I think public television should expose people to.

She's a seductive one, that Angela Lansbury.

First of all, Lee, Charlie (charley?) looks adorable post groomer!
I have a new goal. I might want to learn to play a string instrument like the cello. Wouldn't that be useful/fun or just stressful?
I have to go back to school officially tomorrow. And I'm pretty BLAH on the whole thing, and there is a scheduling fuck up and a giant grant renewal ($1.5 million) is due Monday at noon and I only started working on it on Friday because I only received it last Wednesday. I need to find a way to be more zen and less emotionally invested in work.
Noah and Grace also go back to school tomorrow. So I plan on walking them to school -- Noah is in a 1-2 split class and Grace has the teacher everyone loves. Grace has her friend I. in her class. Noah, I'm worried about.
We'll survive it, right? It's only 40 more weeks.
