Hey Jess, aren't you Rock-Center-ish? (Or anyone New York-y...) I have to meet a colleague for a quick lunch around 52nd and 6th. Thoughts? I'm inclined toward bar-and-grill type places for the balance of comfort, price, and speed.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
When teapartiers talks about the "founders," they clearly are not thinking of the East Coast liberal elites who brought us the Revolution and the Constitution. They're certainly not thinking of the man who wrote, "But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
I just drove four miles in what was essentially a foot-deep stream. Tornado warnings! Fifty MPH winds! Rain of toads!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
You're getting that rain of toads for talking smack about the founders, Ginger. These were God fearing white men who made all the decisions for the rest of us and we were happy about it.

Or a Bush. Pick a Bush, any Bush.
My mind went to a bad place.

My nails got all f'ed up.
I am just exhausted all of a sudden. I don't think I ate enough today.

Sorry, my fault. I was eating All the Food.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Cool beans. I'm putting together a mix for Matilda's class and just scored Ray Charles singing the alphabet on Sesame Street to go with the Pointer Sister's Pinball Count (the animated thing on Sesame Street).
Also, nabbed the two songs from Kiki's Delivery Service.

I have a bunch of versions of that, if you're interested....

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Me too. I am stuffing myself with train food like it`s the last I`ll ever get. Which might be true with as much as this trip is ending up costing us. Today`s foible was one with canceling last night`s hotel room. First we changed it to tonight and then when we went to cancel it, it showed up as having never been changed. And thus we are probably out that money without having gotten the room. We are going straight home tonight instead but have run into signal delays. So my ability to deal with travel problems with aplomb is wearing thin.

I`m glad to hear Kathy is recuperating well from her surgery! Thanks for checking in on her and updating, ChiKat.
