You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Heh, you mean the Beverly Dummy? Yes, but I bravely posted it anyway.

oh no!

In very shallow news, before I go off to read the news, it is really fricking early. Whose idea was getting a 7:00 flight?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

A tsunami has already hit the Easter Islands, and they're warning about tsunamis in Hawaii and other Pacific islands.

Oh, and hey, speaking of nostalgia, it looks like jengod has been busy!

I need to come visit Baltimore again.

::weeps and weeps and weeps::

We'll be in LA for Xmas 2010 - we already booked 3 seats out with miles.

I am an Elizabeth named after no one, but I share my name (first, last) with an aunt who is a law professor. We get each other's (e)mail pretty regularly.

Looks like the guess for Hawaii is 6 foot waves at approximately 4 p.m. EST.

I have a '60s ranch with its original interior knobs and they are shiny brass similar to this [link] I've seen shiny chrome from that era too. I think nonshiny hardware didn't really become prevalent until into the '70s. My mother put wrought iron hardware into the house my parents built in the '50s, but it was considered odd.

I haven't found anything on hardware in the 60's yet, but I did find a slideshow of 73 pink kitchens: [link]
