1. He was like, "Just do a google search for 'Amy Winehouse barefoot.'"
2. Carol King-- god love her-- is an horrendous actress.
3. "Assia Wevill, for whom Ted Hughes left Sylvia Plath, committed suicide in the same way Plath did.
With the difference that she gassed the child that she had had by Hughes as well."

A quick dinner before the roller derby bout last night. I share these Crab Burger Po' Boys in great part because of my inexplicable decision to serve them with carrot sticks. Following my mother's example, I cut the carrots then soaked them in water in the fridge for a couple of hours to make them super crisp. When, upon seeing the place, Kenny exclaimed "Carrot sticks!" I knew I'd done something right. That's a beet and blue cheese salad up above. Lots of roots on the menu, I know, but it's the dead of winter here in WI, yo!?!

Not Full of Shit, For a Change
The best part of my colonoscopy-- apart from being told that I don't have colon cancer and didn't have any pre-cancerous polyps to be removed-- was that the nurse had to fish out a bigger blood pressure cuff for my bulging bicep.

Gordon Riots
"Susannah [Clark ] remained in the area muttering imprecations for two or three hours until the same or another party of rioters passed by. She insisted that they follow her. Beaver, she howled, was a secret papist; but Beaver showed the leader of the rowdies Stackhouse’s History of the Holy Bible and other Protestant books, and the defenders of Protestantism were satisfied."

Snow Love
Snowy truck through a snowy window. 14-18 inches in 18-24 hours. For me, it's embracable chaos.

Snow's STILL a-comin'
Apparently yesterday's celebration of snow has been fully acknowledged. It's a near white out. UW-Madison classes after 3:30 are canceled, and city bus service will conclude at 7:00 pm. It's a snow miracle.

"Snow's a-comin'"
Images in celebration of today's forecast. Which is not to suggest that we've been at a loss for snow this season. I pretty much always celebrate snow.

Things You Should Hear
(aka things I love to hear)
-Kenny singing Pink Floyd in Ethyl Merman voice.
-The voice of Mufids [back story not available] as performed by Kenny.
-Recordings by Chromatics of Running Up That Hill and Mask.
-Aggie MacKenzie saying "fecal matter."
-Kenny singing in the shower, esp a mash up of Loving You and Bad to the Bone which he later denied having sung. (He acknowledged the former, denying only the latter.)

After Years
After years of flat- and tinned-tasting Fuji apples, I'm eating the most vibrant, wonderfully flavored Fuji: a taste that rolls from just shy of sharp sunniness to warm mellow sweet to mottled earthy tang. Amazing.
