So it seems Kim Jong Il has died. This is what the North Korean news agencies are reporting.
I like the ruffles.

meara, do you have a home warranty? If so, call them to sort it out and learn shit. I totally used mine as a learning tool in the first year. (How do radiators work, dude?)
lisah's cookies are very good as well, even though she eschewed the lard. I might not leave them to the ravening hoards.
The scores on originality for Bob's cracked me up because I've SO TOTALLY had those before (they are good.) Clearly the judges were not from midwestern stock! Staple of farm potlucks in sw MN!

Nope, no warranty--and I've had the house for about a year and a half now, so that'd be out anyway.
I mostly wanted to make sure that hot water heater problems are still a plumber call, and not some other type person. I can call the plumbers that came out before, they were nice (even if they didn't really find a problem). Had to look up the check I used back then, make sure who it was!

Someone remind me to be a responsible grown-up type. Because one of the two limited-edition versions of the "Bela Lugosi's Dead" single I covet is currently on eBay at a very reasonable price. I don't need it. I know that. But oh! How I wants it. [link]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It is probably the pilot light. The first time it happened to me, I watched the plumber and asked questions, so I've been able to do it myself since. It does help to have a longer clicky fire thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I love this cartoon. It's "physics" goodness.

Well, since the hot water provides my heat, hopefully I can get a plumber out pretty early tomorrow (though I have a 10AM doctor's appointment, so it may get pretty chilly in here before I can get someone!)

Yikes, meara. Stay warm!
Cass -- did you like the station?? I had so much fun listening to it today.
I got my room cleaned and organized, finished laundry and did dishes. I'd wanted to make chicken salad for tomorrow but ran out of time. Went to a lovely Lessons & Carols service at my sister's church (they have an awesome choir that she and her partner and my niece are all in), and then we all + my mom and a few friends went out to dinner after. Nice!
