I really have to get cracking on a couple of projects today. Things need to Get Done this week, and it's already Tuesday, and I'm leaving midday Thursday. Oops.

Also, I realized that I should not go see a friend's new baby empty-handed, so I have to remember to go shopping tomorrow!

Can you ID the music the last couple used for me, megan? It's just on the edge of my memory but I can't quite place it.

It's Albinoni's "Adagio in G Minor", one of those sad adagios that seems to be used in everything, you might know it from Gallipoli. I actually have Ascot Man to thank for knowing the music--he was a composer and film critic and made mix tapes of film scores for me, including the adagio and Out of Africa music used last night. (This made be why I hated it.)

It took me 40 minutes to get to work today. I live less than 2 miles away.

The city, in its infinite wisdom, decided to go ahead with road construction that completely closes down 39th, a main route from NE. When no side streets are plowed, and the alternate routes, a nightmare under the best circumstances, are down to one lane each way. CITY FAIL.

Ugh

DC's Toy Fair Showcase: Green Lantern, Jonah Hex, And True Blood, Oh My!

# 14 is my fave:

The manga-inspired Ame-Comi Heroines line boasts a Robin (available soon) and a Wonder Girl (background; April 2010)...

Huh. I didn't realize New Orleans king cake was more like a bread.

A bread with FROSTING!!

Has anyone ever used glow gaff tape? Does it actually work?

I've got a list of stuff to source for the theatre. The list for lights scares me a little.

Glow gaff tape, or just glow tape? My understanding of regular glow tape is that it works, but it needs to be "charged" with light in order to do so-- so if the glow tape is located in a spot that NEVER gets any light, it will not glow.

My mother has confirmed that a king cake is on its way to me in the mail.
