I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Ha! My roommate ordered food for dinner, and the delivery guy commented that whatever I'd been cooking smelled GREAT.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Nom, that sounds delish. I love eggplant. And capers. And anchovies for that matter, but all this should surprise no one because I am the subtaster I am.
 
Lovely swim tonight under a gibbous moon. (Why is there no love in literature for the gibbous moon?) I did 50 stroke laps, ten of them, backstroke but one lap pof spluttery near the shoreline crawl. I have thigh fatigue now.

Much ~ma for your mom, Frank- I hope the surgery goes well for her. I have high hopes- she's a tough Mainer after all!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

~ma to your mother, Frank. (That sounds rather "street", doesn't it?)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When you and your sister were growing up did you talk about how you would donate sperm to her lesbian partner so they could have kids?

Strangely enough, no, we never talked about that.

ION, I got my bike back yesterday - and the guy just charged me about $25 for parts (he did the labor for free).

Today I was riding it quite fast, which was fun (even though it's not designed to go fast, as you sit upright while riding it).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Do NOT tell me Obama tripled the deficit. I will CBO and factcheck.org your ass before you can say FOX News.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I hope all goes well for your mother, Frank.

So after being released from the hospital today, my dad went home and mowed the lawn.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oy, so tired. Sleepover, followed by what turned into a day long play date. And then at dinner? Franny reminded me she wanted to bring cookies to her camp tomorrow, so I had to bake cookies. We made snicker doodles, and they turned out really well! It can be a finicky recipe, so I was worried, but I successfully trouble shooted it.

Semester starts tomorrow. I think I'm ready, ready enough at least.

This is a cool pic: A 'DOUBLE PLANET' SEEN FROM MERCURY

I never cease to be humbled and amazed when I see our Planet Earth reduced to a pinpoint when photographed from elsewhere in the solar system. So far, our planet-roaming spacecraft have taken tourist snapshots of Earth as seen from Mars, Saturn, and beyond Pluto’s obit.

But this latest view from NASA’s MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging) spacecraft is a jaw-dropper.

For the first time we see Earth -- in astronomical parlance -- as a fully illuminated superior planet 114 million mile outward from Mercury. Earth really looks like a double star because the moon is snuggled up next to it.

An amazing picture (although it appears they overexposed the Earth a bit in order to get the Moon to show up as bright as it does - the moon reflects some small percentage (7%?) of the sunlight that hits it).
