    My son pointed out that the cat banging his collar's tag against his food bowl makes almost the same sound that we'd make with a similar bowl, trying to scrape out the last of the contents with a spoon.

    rene got her MRI results back. She needs a complete knee replacement.

    There are all sorts of technical terms, like torn meniscus and necrotic bone tissue, but that's what it comes down to.

    She needs to have some tests to make sure she's up to surgery, and then goes under the knife sometime in August. Surgery, two to three weeks in inpatient rehab (if the health insurance will pay for it), and then some more recuperation at home.

    Just keeping everyone in the loop.

    Old woman on street: Grow up!
    Hip girl to friend: God! Homeless people spend all day screaming on the street and no one tells them too grow up.
    Hip friend: Yeah, it's not your fault that your dad's a republican.

    Guy: So she doesn't even like him?
    Girl: No.
    Guy: Well then, why does she stay with him?
    Girl: I asked her that too. She said "He's got a twelve inch cock and he doesn't hit me. I'm stayin'!"

    Tongue-in-cheek PSA
    Just in case you were wondering which Starbucks will be closing in the Washington area.

    Apparently the only Starbucks that will close within the actual District is the one at 21st and L.

    None in Northern Virginia. Whew!

    And here's a handy-dandy list of all of the planned closures

    Strung Up! Jewelry Designs

    My mom has been making jewelry for some time now...and I never thought she was serious until I got my birthday present this year.  From that point on, I made a promise I would do what I could to support her in her new hobby.  Hence, the debut of her Etsy store, Strung Up! Jewelry Designs.

    If you have a moment, please take a look at the site and provide any feedback, good, bad or indifferent.  I want your opinions on the designs, my cheese-tastic names for each piece, the pricing...everything.  Even feedback from those that normally don't comment on my LJ...  She doesn't think her jewelry will sell; I'm set to prove her wrong (I'm a "red crayon", I have to be right you know).

    So there you have it!  If you see something you really like, let me know.  She also does "alchemy" (custom) orders as well.

    Please cross-post...


    Thank you!!!




    Note: She totally came up with her company's name on her own...  I almost peed my pants when she told me.  If she only knew... Ha!

    a few things:
    Whether you know it or not, I probably associate a song with you. Sometimes its easy to explain, sometimes its not. Sometimes its music you've introduced me to, a story we've shared together, stuff on the radio at a time we were together. Tonight was a CRAZY one after another following of songs that remind me of lovers or things that are important to me. It was NUTS. Plus I've only heard Dave Mason on the radio *maybe* like 5 times in my whole life, so to hear "we just disagree" was nuts! Other songs included Chess's "one night in bangkok", sarah bareillis' "love song" and sting.

    I love that I have the means to buy really stupidly expensive Irish Cheddar, which I know I'm not going to finish before it goes bad, just because I wanted some on my sandwhich tonight.

    I'm having crazy cravings for black licorice lately

    Damnit there was more!!!! But now I've started IM'ing people and its all flyyyyyying out of my head.

    I'm stupidly horny. I'm also very specifically horny. I have stupid amounts of housework to do. I have no desire to be responsible ANY MORE right now.

    um yeah.

    Thanks kids!

    more random thoughts for the infirmed
    So this was mostly a post of random things to entertain the infirmed but they've gone off to happy hour now because I totally got interrupted hours ago. However, I have since taken myself out to lunch and had a VERY tasty stick of black licorice so i'm going to finish and post anyways.

    You know how sometimes you sing along to a song for years and years and then one day you find out you've been singing the wrong words?
    Well my sorority has this song we sing, but its made up words to this really pretty song. And a long time ago I asked someone what the title of the real song was, and they told me 'Yaz'. Well yesterday (even tho I had discussed this SAME TOPIC several weeks ago) I realized the GROUP was Yaz and the song was "only you" (which you'll be familiar with if you've ever seen the teen classic "Can't Hardly Wait")

    Light. Dawn. Marblehead.

    Next, this whole not having sex for three weeks thing really isn't working for me. Just sayin'.

    JACKPOT! Today when I went out at lunch I went to London Drug for some stuff I needed. A long time ago, when I first got to Canada, I found these AMAZING hair ties that I haven't been able to find ANYWHERE in the US or Canada since. (they also are excellent for jobs not pertaining to my hair) Well they had 3!!!! sets of them so needless to say, I bought them all. SCORE!

    Before lunch I also went to a meeting where I seriously felt badly for some of the people in the room. There was this boy that was *so* aggressive. It was kind of hot to watch tho. I'm a little smitten with him. But I hope to NEVER be on the end of rapid fire questions to which there is NO right answer from him.

    Have I mentioned my negative feelings about the lack of sex?

    I've also downloaded the first season of "Burn Notice" from iTunes. I believe its a USA show? It has a very sort of USANetworks feel to it. But I'm really enjoying it. And actors I enjoy keeping coming up in it. But the mom from "Queer as Folk" is also the mom in this show. And the kid's name is Michael. Its wierdly a very similar role for her. But she's much skinnier and blonde.

    I still can't think of all the little random things I was dying to post. I'll try and post as they come back to me

    kisses

    People who waste my time should be shot on sight
    SERIOUSLY?!?! SERIOUSLY??????????

    Yesterday I spent 45 minutes writing out PAINSTAKINGLY detailed, IDIOT PROOF instructions. The problem is complex, I understand that. It took ME 3 days to understand it. Which is why I wrote you up step by step instructions, leaving NOTHING to chance, cuz I know you have no idea what the F* is going on.

    I'm so glad you bothered to read them before going and WHINING to my coordinator so that he had to bring you to my desk so that I could spend 45 minutes walking you through them step by step, AS YOU WROTE THEM DOWN, even though you ALREADY HAD THEM IN WRITING.

    And then you proceeded to ask BONEHEADED questions that CLEARLY prove you have not the first f*ing clue how our system works. AND YOU are the brainchild they sent to Canada - so god only knows how dumb your colleagues back home are.

    I'm so glad you're in charge of testing, really I am.

    Just what did Troy King do?
    RUMOR: Anti-Gay Alabama Attorney General Busted In Bed With Male Aide, About To Resign
    http://www.stltoday.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5840673
    Attorney General Troy King Resigns?
    http://www.leftinalabama.com/showDiary.do?diaryId=2092

    Wikipedia has had this reported a few times and changed it back because while you can find tons of references to Troy King being caught in bed with a male aide, they're all from blogs or gay presses. Not a lot of confirmation in the regular press.
    Google Troy King and lots of rumors come up.

    Nothing yet from the wire services.
    But there's this...
    The ‘new journalism’

    This appears to be how it works in the Internet Age – at least if we’re talking about a salacious rumor a lot of people appear to think (or hope) is true.

    Alabama Attorney General Troy King is finding this out the hard way, as in the course of a few days, rumors of him being busted in bed with a male aide have gone from whispers, phone calls and e-mails to in-state bloggers to national Web sites.

    As I write this, there has been no official statement from King, Gov. Bob Riley or any other state official. No one has admitted or denied that King was sexually involved with a male aide, or that his wife caught them and threw him out of the house. As I write this, nothing is clear – except that lots and lots of people on the Web either think the rumor is true or want it to be true.

    The speed with which this thing took off and went “viral” is breathtaking, really.

    The BR Board is a dick!

    i say this without reservation, hesitation or remorse. (but really, we are talking about me here. Did i even need to say that?)

    Ж-Men...but not the ones you might expect!
    This week LJ Russia launched Ж-Men, a new comedy series about superheroes, inspired by the LJ communities dedicated to superheros, comics and cartoons. The title's "Ж" comes from ЖЖ, the nickname for LiveJournal in Russia.

    Ж-Men's script is written by a group of LJ enthusiasts who also happen to be television professionals. Who knew? Following the premiere, five more episodes will be broadcast over the next two weeks. We hope you find the series fresh and enjoyable.

    This is, of course, an experiment for LiveJournal. As always, we'd love to hear what you think!

    Horseradish Cream Sauce
     I wanted to post this because it looks like SUCH a good recipe for horseradish and I do love me some horseradish!

    Alton used it on raw oysters tonight. YUM

     
     
     
    1 cup sour cream
    1/4 cup grated fresh horseradish
    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

     

    Place all of the ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld. Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2 to 3 weeks
