My sister has granite and I always feel like I'm going to break stuff on it.
It's pretty though.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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.

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

Debet,
2 surfboards (and a body of water)
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Jesse, said minister would need to be very game for ridiculousness, as the item involves preaching in a church against GISHWHES and GISHWHESians.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I dream of shaded blue glass tile in the shower, dark to light, rising. And a blue-glass vessel sink.
Kitchen, butcher block counters, plain straight-front pale birch cabinets, and white or black appliances. I'd love stained concrete floors; failing that, terrazo.
My fridge in the old house was chocolate. I loved it! I've never seen another that color.
