I am pro-nut, pro-raisin in zuchini bread and oatmean (but NSM cookies) and pro-chocolate chips in cookies, but not brownies.

Brownies should have walnuts or pecans in them, and be served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream or real whipped cream. In fact, they should be served to me like this right NOW.

::stares hard at desk: No brownies::

Dammit. Will have to settle for more coffee.

We're supposed to be getting an aquarium in KC! The closest one is in Omaha; I've not been to that one.

I went to the NOLA aquarium before Katrina, and it was really cool. They had an exhibit of bioluminescent sealife, which was neat as hell!

Seconded.

I went climbing last night and then there was no chicken mole, but I got a really great Crab Louis salad, with enormous chunks of crab on it (I suspect the kitchen decided nobody else was going to order it and gave me all the remaining crab). However I think I have to accept the fact that I'm not in my 30s anymore, and I should stop drinking pints of IPA on weeknights. Bah.

Slept badly, and I'm not sure if I can blame the beer or the dog, whose nails need to be clipped.

ita - but would the belt have to be there? Couldn't it be adjusted?

I am blaming the lawnmower and having a much cooler day to look forward to, so my windows were all wide open. But that really just meant a bad wakeup. The sleep was just too little because I got enthralled into new science books. As you do.

I am out of real coffee.

I slept better than I did night before last, and woke up to rain (woo! don't have to water plants today!).

I didn't have scary-ass dreams, but I DID dream I was back hostessing -- badly -- at a restaurant I worked at in grad school.

I totally know where THAT dream came from, at least.

but would the belt have to be there? Couldn't it be adjusted?

Nope. It's sewn onto the dress. My breasts aren't that big. But this is pretty much empire cut on me.

Got the time off to visit the Leverage writers room tomorrow. Whoot.

Colin and I were poking around McGill memories some more, and his Go Titans! writing roommate came up, as well as his passing Univeristy friendship with Jessalyn Gilsig and Rufus Wainwright. I don't know what was in the Montreal water in the late 80s, early 90s, but it was potent.

RILLY?! That's so cool!!

Men may need more cuddling. Is this only straight men, though?

I could do with more cuddling. The problem is I'm fairly particular about who I'll do that with.

Okay, see this dress? That belt? Not remotely near my waist. Sometimes I don't know why I try.

I can't buy anything that has a built in belt or band around the waist. It just doesn't work, and I don't try. If a dress has helpful belt loops, I have to cut them off and/or move them.

I swear I'm high-waisted, too.

But the worst is shit that's actually empire cut. For those, the line goes right across my nipples.
