I bought some green tomatoes at a farm stand a few weeks ago, and I meant to make fried green tomatoes with them, but I didn't get around to it, and now I have orange tomatoes.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have cancelled plans to go to the Eastern European cafe tonight, as traveling to Memphis tomorrow instead involves much better odds of dessert being a cute bisexual pilot. I may wander outside and sample the local BBQ fest instead.
You know what's also good? Green tomato and apple pie.
Breeders' Cup: They're leading the runners for the Classic out to be saddled and Zenyatta is already doing her dance. In the Turf: Champ Pegasus tried to win from the front and ran gamely, but Dangerous Midge passed him to win. (Dangerous Midge is one of the European horses ridden by Frankie Dettori - Champ Pegasus is a son of Fusaichi Pegasus ridden by Joel Rosario.)
Man, the Breeder's Cup is pandemonium.
My parents are now on the hunt for a hotel for over Christmas break. So that's something almost accomplished. I'm trying to draw, but have reached that blank period where I just stare at the not-even-half-done picture with the conviction that anything I do will mess it up.
And I'm realising I should have bought two .3mm mechanical pencils this morning, so I can have one loaded with soft graphite and one with hard all the time, instead of swapping out.
I also need to comb through my (mess of an) apartment to find my ID pass for work and the teensy tiny cap for the teensy tiny flash drive I just bought. Fuckers could be anywhere.
But mostly I want to sleep, and can't.
Isn't?
Man, excellent Classic. A heart stopper for sure. 1 thin head breaks that amazing streak.
Man, Mike Smith says he's a little devastated - and he seems it. (BTW, I love the one name horses - particularly the one syllable names like Blame, Arch, Pluck - it amazes me that people can still find good ones.)
Breeder's Cup:
Man, she was so far back I thought something was wrong with her. That was kind of stressful, and a shame that she lost.
Breeder's Cup: But that is her style. But I guess she was just a little too far back. Was the Chris McCarron giving Mike Smith a hug?
