"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. There's little shreddies all over my entry floor because I decided that junk mail shouldn't even cross my threshhold and made the shredder live there. Which works, only I don't see it and think about it as often, and so I shred stuff without really checking to see if the bin is full.

It was.

I need to sweep it up, but it's in the invisible portion of the entry, where I can't see any dirt.

In me news, I spent the rest of my gift card on Orly Flash Dry drops, a dollar clearance bottle of nail polish (10 Moonlight? Never heard of 10. It's a puttyish taupey neutral, but I put Sinful Glass Pink over it for the glass fleck sparklies.) and cuticle oil. I was looking for jojoba oil and still couldn't find it, but it's the second ingredient in this, and all the ingredients are oils of, you know, plants. Dunno.

This is just a few blocks (maybe 5 minutes drive and that counts the 3 where you are trying to make a left onto Chalkville Road) from my brother's home: [link]

For my second trip to England, I decided to shell out a little bit more and pay for Virgin Atlantic Business Class because it had wider seats. That paid for itself twice over, because on the way over, they offered me a complimentary upgrade to Sleeper Class, which had Very Recliney Seats, lights out, and complementary pajamas and blankets.

Then on the way back, once again I was upgraded to Upper Class, with the bar and the silverware and snacks and drinks and whatnot.

I don't know what I did to deserve it, but if I figure it out, I'll do it again.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Is that from today, sara?

All kinds of good thoughts headed their way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sara,

was that a giant or a storm?

That's what is left after the tornados last week, 1/23. Came through around 3 am. Leveled some neighborhoods in the Center Point/ Clay/Trussville/Chalkville area. My brother finally had a chance to drive up to the camp lake, and said some neighborhoods were just a flattened pile of rubble, not even apparent they were once houses. Not sure if he took that picture or not, but he pinpointed exactly where it is.

Yikes, sarameg! That's just awful.

Because books.

Wow, sara. That's scary.

Is Ruth's Chris high end steak?

Isn't Peter Luger in Brooklyn supposed to be a step above Ruth's Chris?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ruth's Chris is 80s chain high end, I'd say.

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

What price range is Ruth's Chris? It's not like I'm holding the reference against Patton--he has to name a steak house, costs more than average, and the audience has to be familiar across the country.

I turned the TV on in the middle of Something's Gotta Give. Is Diane Keaton supposed to be likable, or is she to learn a life lesson and become a less irritating person?

I can't believe a movie with Amanda Peet and Diane Keaton Diane's the naked one. Amanda's, like, always naked, once a movie.
