My only Patricia Cornwell novel was Blowfly, which I chose for the fabby title word. Imagine my dismay when the horribly portentous villain They titled it for suckers like me. >:(

For me, part of that was the really specialized references. For example, the first time I saw the TrapperKeeper episode, I was like..trapperkeeper?? That, I think, is part of the "charm" of the show, that it's not one hundred percent obvious WTH they're talking about at all times. They create...

30 Rock, Flight of the Conchords What is so great about them? The first episodes of 30 Rock I saw, I could not keep my jaw off the floor, thanks to unbelievable cleverness, funny, but stunningly so. Flight of the Conchords is just, ever so quirksome. With the added bonus of, occasionally...

Tastespotting is somewhat uneven in that way, a person should be experienced enough to spot a problem in a recipe, or able to adjust them to suit, but as an idea generator, or if one wants to slaver a bit, that's the place. Plus, they are sometimes in languages other than english...but that's...

As long as we're discussing cooking, I thought I'd share my current favorite food site, tastespotting. It's so great when you don't have an idea for what to make - or when you want to stare at other people's cookery projects. The really great thing I like is that it is pictures, pictures...

NPR coverage of the presidential inauguration! Glory be.

It was in there...Fahrenheit 451. Only eleven thousand bucks.

I do have this book on my to-do list, but of his other books...I always keep a pen on hand and keep a word list on my bookmark whenever I read Nabokov. Some words require immediate investigation; ancillula, bloviate, etc. He helps create very interesting word lists. So does Martin Amis.:)

In Kashmir, being born and building to, seemingly, ever greater tragedy.

I am in Pluto, not the planet, and the guy from whom I was sentenced to learn the violin has just keeled over dead. How will I take it?

We out here were a bit weepy too, I must say. There was a bit of spontaneous public joy, even in our little town. Nearly all speechifying was memorable, historical, high road kind of stuff. Very happy. Very happy.

What a race. I am so grateful that the Republicans are finally ousted. :)

original wrapper, carefully designed

:innocent:

Well, I doubt the efficacy, but nothing lost by trying, eh? You must be far from Toronto, then, eh?...shoot darn.

Libra, he is definitely worth seeing. Very professional and claims to love his tours, unlike so many others. It may have been election madness, but the audience was so stoked by much of his reading. Plus he was gorgeous and understatedly elegant which, why not?:) I always knew he was a fine...

when gnawed upon, actually

Stewart, thanks for the extra redneck, we can always use one at the polls. Even though my daddy used to tell us to, "vote early and vote often," I don't like to take that too far by voting absentee or anything. I enjoy showing up at my polling place and saying hi to everyone. It's just more...
