"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Did they do a game night this past month?

They did at least one when you were out of town, I recall.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Thanks, Sue. I posted the question on another board I'm on and got no suggestions so I Googled for Mexican Chocolate cupcake recipes. It's not that I can't Google, but it helps to get a recommendation from someone who has tried a recipe and knows that it actually turns out well.

That's very cool, David.

I woke up at 7:30 this morning (set the alarm) and that's good. More daylight for me. At 1pm I meet this guitarist and I really hope that turns out okay because performing again would be awe. some.

May see the Narnia movie tomorrow, may go to a friend's brunch on Sunday. Other than that, resting up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Tonight, I'm watching Tron and dying horribly in Limbo.

Tomorrow, I'm getting an oil change and, I don't know, watching lots of movies at home and/or writing LJ posts about Europe.

Sunday, I have two auditions.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

OMG I love not working Fridays. Usually I have been catching up or running errands or chores or somesuch, but today I have done nothing but have my coffee and watch the TiVO'd shows. I've got it almost cleared off.

That's okay because I got to play Cranium Pop 5 and see ND sculpt Blazing Saddles and Pix try to fruitlessly act out Crystal Pepsi. Sorry Pix for my lack of lame beverage knowledge!

On vaccines & autism-- one variety takes hold around the 18 month mark, where the child loses speech and other symptoms. Right around the time they get a lot of shots these days.

HOWEVER the 18mo regression has been observed from way before childhood vaccinations were routine.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I wondered at one point if the back-to-back vaccines with a possible mix of mercury contributed to Reed's autism.

The only study that claimed to show a link between vaccinations and autism was not only thoroughly discredited, but the author lost his medical board standing. So, you know, it's pretty unlikely. The latest stuff I read on autism is that it's multi-variable and there is probably no one thing that can be pointed to as the reason why a child is non-neurotypical.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wedding cousin just sent out a fuck-modest-attire email to his guests. I have to admit, it makes me nervous that one side of my family has such different ideas of the wedding than the other, and I worry because my family is a bit of a juggernaut, but I trust him and his fiancee are on the same page, and they're more important to me than the family of the bride.

Also, I can be less panicky about finding just the right wrap.
