Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I do get frustrated with people who suddenly started caring about deficit spending when Obama got elected.

Oh yes. They trigger the SMONSTER SMASH reflex.

Hec, I hate it when those things come in clusters, as they often seem to. I hope your unlucky streak ends here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We were talking yesterday about tasting/seasoning food as you go, right? I should have done that with the mushroom turnovers I made! I just ate one, and it was delicious, but would have been even more delicious with more salt in the filling.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Unfortunately, the only response I've got for newly minted deficit hawks is something sensible like "Nuh uh...Krugman *said*, but it's true, he did. But unfortunately, around here, the people I'm fighting with aren't impressed with the thoughts of a New York Jew. Although quite a few of them rock my socks on a weekly basis, not to sound like Jon Gosselin or anything.

NO!!!!!! I am Jesse- I am seriously bummed about Robert Parker.

I wish Kate's Mystery Books was still open, I'd pilgrimage there this evening.

Between him and Kate McGarrigle, I don't even know.

I'm wondering if I should forward that link to my mom--she's looking to get a bulldog soon (been haunting the local rescue group's webpage obsessively for about six months), and that might just send her over the edge!
