Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am currently pleased because I went to the Korean French bakery yesterday, so this morning, I had a red bean roll and a pain au chococat for breakfast! Perfect. And/or parfait. (I don't know how to say it in Korean.)

Wait, there's one in MA?

ita, my eyes are tearing up in sympathy for yours -- I spent so many times in my childhood with miserable watering eyes whenever I got a cold. I'm so glad that doctors actually have something to help with that!

I saw an interview with Jon Favreau the other day, but that's the only time I've heard of it. The interview made me really want to see it.

Dear people applying for passports for your children: Yes, you have to actually bring the child in for the appointment. "Nobody told me" is not a valid excuse. Why would you think we'd issue a vital identity document without actually comparing the photo you submit to your child?

This is the big story on the news this morning for the start of the holiday weekend: NO ONE was shot last night in Chicago. Sadly, this is actually pretty remarkable.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

If you have a "No solicitors" sign on your door, who is that meant to keep away? Does it apply to door-to-door religious folks? Or does solicitation involve selling things? Because that would give the religious people a loophole, right? ("We aren't selling anything; we're giving you THE LORD!" "It's not solicitation; it's SALVATION!") (I need to go into PR for door-to-door God people.)

(Also, if you knock on the door and no one answers, do you knock again, or JUST LEAVE? [I mean for solicitors and God people. If I were going to visit someone who I knew, and they were expecting me, then I would knock, and if no one answered, I would either knock again or pull out my cell phone and call.])

This post brought to you by the God people who would not stop knocking despite my refusal to answer the door in my nightgown and with no voice thanks to this cold. I hope that, when I answered it, I was everything they had hoped for.

Steph, according to M-W, you're in the right and they are just persistent irksome knobs. [link]

Dang. I guess I could post a sign that says "No god people."
