What is the deal with the UP and pasties?
Cornish tin miners were brought in to work the UP copper mines. They brought their pasties with them, and other immigrant groups in the mines, such as the Finns, adopted the meal.
Why, are you in the UP? Is it snowing yet? (I kid, I kid. They won't see snow up there for a couple of weeks.)
Amy, I got the movies. THANK YOU! Maybe I can get mac to watch one of them afterschool today.
I found the other one, msbelle! The day after I sent the package, of course. So that's coming, too. Just ... in a few days.
msbelle, if I lived in TX I'd be wearing white as well. I'd be interested in reflecting as much sunlight away from me as possible.
Yeah. Today I'm wearing a white gauzy piratey shirt. It's too hot to have my arms exposed. The bus stop is going to be murder.
I just saw a Tide commercial with the narrative being a mom lying to her teenage daughter. REALLY?
Oh, the one where the mother "borrows" her daughter's t-shirt to go out clubbing, and spills something on it? Yeah, one time seeing that one, and I wanted to write to Tide. But I didn't. Lately, everything about the world and its inhabitants has been depressing the hell out of me. Tide is the least of it. I need to write a letter to the people who write the commercials for the human race.
I have managed, through the miracle of TiVo, to remain almost completely clueless about commercials for the past few years. Now I only see them before trailers at the movies, and they get on my nerves.
Yay! I've wanted a shirt with this on it since I lived in San Francisco - it's the text of a sign they post by the front of MUNI trains where the conductor sits, and says:
“Information Gladly Given, But Safety Requires Avoiding Unnecessary Conversation”
amyth, exactly. I see/hear commercials when I am getting ready in the morning and have "The View" or somesuch on in the background. But lately I've not had the tv on at all (other than Video on Demand, Roku-watching and baseball) because I am sick of everyone.

Ha, I do love that sign. It's such a weird way of saying things.
I was cranky. Then I went out. Now, I have cupcakes and the world is looking brighter. One is an orange creamsicle and the other is called a Fat Elvis - it's a banana cupcake with a peanut butter frosting, covered in chocolate ganache.
