Right, plus with all the pumps and such, diabetes type 1 peeps can pretty much eat whatever they want. They know their health.

People are stupid.

Idris Elba: King Of Speed. I did not know of this show. Just watched him try out a NASCAR track. It's a really slow show (esp considering), and I wanted more detail on just about everything (how fast DID you go???), but fast cars and Idris Elba are two very seductive things to put together.

Next week is road racing. And I have more than half of the F&F series on my TiVo in one fashion or another--you'd think I was entirely someone else.

Ugh. I still need to take my baby to get appraised for the dinged passenger mirror. I hate when she has a boo boo.

BLT wrap for lunch (I know you were all waiting to read what I decded on) - even included tomatoes in sun-dried form. I'm not sure I could taste them, actually, but overall a very successful meal.

Hey, has anyone tried that lightweight kitty litter? It's getting to be time for me to get more and those 20-lb bags are daunting.

ETA: huh, website says it is not actually available near me (except at Sam's Club which I am not even gonna get involved with)

At the wake there was a cooler of pop and a cooler of booze. I asked if there was anything cold and diet in the pop cooler. My faux-son's wife smiled cheerfully: "We don't have diet drinks in the house, they're cans of chemical death." I blinked amiably back at her: "I'm diabetic, sugar is poison." Three other people made the same remark to her when told how evil diet drinks are.

Fortunately there's a 7-11 a block from their house and teenagers with lots of energy.

edit: The tap water in our town is horrible, also.

Wow. I really liked Miss Congeniality but for some reason I never watched the serial.

Now, at the time it was clear the original was an out-of-nowhere fun piece of fluff, not cinematic quality.

The sequel is studiously bad. I mean, fuck, I'm looking at the credits and can't work out why they'd use those fonts together. That's how bad it is. Script, acting, plotting, costuming, end to end crap, and they even fuck up the fonts (oh, the actors weren't really even enjoying the pre-credit gags). I guess the only reason some of the songs don't suck is because they are not a product of the movie. But even their choice was lame.

I never saw the first one and now I kinda want to settle down and watch them both.

It's probably good that I am hitting a peak (oh, god, I hope this is a peak) in my frustration with my own incompetence the day before I talk to my new psych treatment provider for eval, right? Maybe I should take actual notes instead of just mental notes.

The second's not even bad enough to be interesting. Flat in aspect.

Anyone use Espionage Cosmetics? It's a for nerd by nerd line. Too much foofurrah for me, but I thought I'd bring it up in case anyone was interested.

The first one (Miss Congeniality) was cute and fun, I enjoyed it. The second one I only saw part of, and yes, it was awful.

Perhaps your friend needs a hobby.(my eyeroll at him is dedicated to the memory of Jim Garner, because that was one of his many talents.)

I'm unlikely to actually start up a Miss Congeniality marathon, but I am curious now about how bad I would find that second one.

Well played, erika. He'd appreciate that memorial, I think.
