Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sounds like it's a good thing you're there, Pix.

And yay Nora for ignoring the poopheads!

I saw some old friends from grad school days tonight. It was really nice! Plus tostada, although I was confused because we went to El Coyote, which I mixed up in my head with El Cholo (both classic LA Mexican restaurants) and so I was planning on getting the tostada compuesta. But that's at El Cholo, not El Coyote, so oh well. Still tasty.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I just saw someone invoke Jonathan Pollard in an attempt to show that the US was right in not taking in Jewish refugees during WWII, because Jews are, in fact, dangerous.

Uhhh. I got nothing. Whoever said that falls in the "Life is too freakin short to talk to you" category.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah. I've seen a few people arguing about Jews being communists, but this is the first time I've seen Pollard brought into it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The Chicago version of Burrell's story would be the 10 minutes it took us the other night to figure out if the dinner we were going to in Chinatown was at the original Triple Crown or the upstart Original Triple Crown (lawsuit pending).

The status is NOT quo.

Meara, I'm supposed to run 7 miles today. But it's COLD and it's supposed to RAIN and I really don't want to! So I may postpone and run tomorrow. I don't know how anyone runs in cooler climates. I guarantee I never would have started my running if I didn't live in SoCal.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was going to get up and go to the supermarket early today. I am....almost ready to go? Pretty sure it will still be better than 4pm today or after work tomorrow.

OK, after turning in early last night and getting 8 1/2 hours sleep, I went to Waffle House for a cheesy egg breakfast and am now ready to go back to bed.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Trader Joe's was busy yesterday, and a little busier than a regular Saturday, but not bonkers. The only problem -- and we usually run into this problem on a Saturday anyway -- was finding parking. So Tim dropped me off and I started shopping while he circled the parking lot until someone left.

Hahaha! Whereas I say if I hadn't moved away from a place that is hot in the summer I never would've started running! It's 36 here (which is super cold for Seattle!!) and I'm in my car with my coat on--trying to decide how long I can stay in here and still have time to hit the ports potty before the race starts!

I bought almost all my thanksgiving stuff Friday because I didn't want to wait and be like "oh clap they have no onions" or whatever.

Supermarket was totally fine! Maybe more shoppers than usual, but also more staff -- I didn't even wait in line at all.
