OMG. . . that clip of Jimmy Fallon doing Jim Morrison singing the Reading Rainbow theme song is a thing of beauty.

It is! I thought the JM thing was pretty funny -- it didn't track as too mean to me. Am slightly concerned that I am callous.

Seeing the new George Clooney movie tonight and dinner out, woo!

Until then, what the hell, Jennifer, you need to pack and do laundry and shit! Stop being lazy! I think I am going to bribe myself by getting coffee out and some food, because I have nothing here. So, twenty minutes to fuel up, and then packing.

Beautiful day out.

Mona and Ruby both became infested with fleas that seem resistant to Frontline.

I am taking everything thing we own to the laundromat, so Kristen went to pick me up some breakfast. I'm so irritated. And itchy.

Jesse, I've gotten lots of compliments using the Knorr recipe but susbstituting fresh chopped spinach for the frozen variety and adding fresh dill and a goodly amount of cumin to the seasoning.

Ooh, that sounds good! But seriously, we were all so excited about the Knorr's the other week, I'm not going to futz with the flavoring this time.

Allyson, I recently switched to Advantage Pro because Frontline stopped working, for what it’s worth. You might try switching as well. So sorry to hear about the fleas--that is the worst.

Ditto. Frontline got rid of the worst of them on Jack and Zeva, but not all of them, so I Capstar'ed them once a week until I could safely give them Advantage--it's only been a couple of days, though, so I don't have any good feedback on it yet.

Allyson, what Pix said. Arthur got the WORST fleas this summer/late fall.

You, uh, might want to buy some canvas gloves and Kevlar and flea dip them, pre-flea drops, get some spray for your upholstery/carpets, sprinkle salt and Borax on floors (even hardwood) and furniture, let sit for night, and then sweep up/mop, vacuum upholstery/carpets (discard bag) and put collars into a ziploc and stick in freezer for 24 hours.

We had 'em BAD.

Ditto ditto. The fleas down here are ridic, so the cats are on Advantage and the dog is on Comfortis.

Brownies are in the oven. Little man was a great assistant. The 9 month old has been a limpet all morning. I just finally got her to play on the floor but she insists I sit with her. Shoot, the 3 year old has been more snuggly than usual. Not that I mind too much.

I consider myself quite lucky to not have fleas on either cat (knock wood).

I wear leggings with my petticoats and skirts if they're really nifty leggings. I also wear leggings with bloomers around the house.

And in the early 90s in my deathrocky days, I wore black denim shorts with tights, pointy boots, a ruffly poet's blouse, and a motorcycle jacket. And big hair. REALLY big hair.

I still want a pair of those super-shredded leggings that have a sheer underlayer, because they would make a great accent with the rest of my wardrobe.

Advantage on critters and 20 Mule Team borax on everything else cured the worst flea problems I've ever had.

And then waiting for the bites I received pre-treatment to heal, but that was more experimental pharmacology and temperature shock than I really want to admit to in public.

I strongly suspect that my footless, decently thick tights that I love might qualify as leggings. But I shall only call them tights. And I should get a couple more pairs.
