So, Where Was I?
Good thing I’m not one of those nablomo people, isn’t it? Not that I haven’t been blogging, because I have been – just not HERE. The not blogging here is weird because I have had an awful lot to blog about over the last week or two or three. Having stuff to blog about is good, but what good is that stuff when you don’t have the energy to blog it? No good at all, that’s how much good. ("How much good." Heh, I should say that more often.)
I should sleep more often. Or drink coffee more often. Or some combination of those two things.
Speaking of coffee … about those Starbucks sleeves, well, what do you think? Busy, busy, busy aren’t they? And multi-colored too, what’s with THAT? And, how can all of the stores in my little town be low on holiday sleeves already? (So low that we were double cupped with holiday cups this morning.)
And speaking of sleep, TW is making noise about us NOT getting new sheets for Christmas. This is troubling – we always get sheets for Christmas. Super expensive sheets. I have come to really appreciate these sheets and look forward to them, as long as they are white… Even though they are expensive, and I do not like buying expensive things. You would think I would be happy that TW is not spending a gazillion dollars on sheets this year but no, I’m not happy at all. I wouldn’t be happy if I was hung with a new rope…
Speaking of new rope, uh no, I wasn’t actually speaking of new rope and have absolutely nothing to say about new rope. Or old rope. Sorry.
Kate Delafield
Sigh. Detective Delafield, you were not at your best in Hancock Park. Are you showing your age? Or is it Katherine Forrest who is showing hers? I can’t decide. All I know is that I don’t like it and I hope we see improvements with the next Kate Delafield mystery.
The good detective is a drinker and should definitely get that under control. I’m all for that. She’s also the kind of dyke who doesn’t wander around the sisterhood with a rainbow bumper sticker attending empowerment seminars and that should not change at all. Leave the woman alone. Let her do her job and go home to a nice g/f at the end of a hard day. Or let her do her job and go home with a screwed up lesbian relationship at the end of the day. But quit beating her up about not being an active participant in the community. That’s BS and Katherine Forrest should really know better, shouldn’t she?
Yes, she should.
Daily Dose of Cupcake Toppers
It’s Prince J’s birthday weekend so it’s time for some Prince J style cupcakes. Chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate topped with these mini Heroscape game pieces would be excellent. The only problem is choosing which ones to top the cupcakes with.

Was my grandmother a Deadhead??
It wasn’t enough for Rosanne to be channeling my grandmother, now the Impulsive Buy people have got me wondering if my grandmother was a closet Deadhead. Didn’t she have some dancing bears?
I do know that she had an AMC Pacer and she LOVED McRibs.
That whole Rocky Horror Picture Show thing, that’s just going too far. I cannot even begin to think about my grandmother knowing anything about RHPS much less being a fan. Nope, not going to think about that. Ever.

A Banned Book: Fun Home
I don’t really DO graphic novels (or comics). They just aren’t my thing, I know that and I avoid them. But when I heard Fun Home was being challenged and banned, I decided to give it a try. I do like Dykes to Watch Out For, in small doses, so I had high hopes for Fun Home.
High hopes indeed. Fun Home is excellent. And it totally needed to be a graphic novel instead of just a written word piece. What a family, what a story, what a terrific job Bechdel did telling her story.

Dirty Places in Gainesvillle
I’m very amused by the 12 dirtiest restaurants in the Gainesville area. Should I really find this amusing since we visit two of these restaurants on a very regular basis and have visited others (or ordered from them) quite a few times? Should I really find this amusing since TW really should not be exposed to food prepared in restaurants with as many violations ans these have (or had). Hell yea I should be amused and I’m pondering the idea of breakfast at 43rd St Deli this weekend (or maybe Jeff’s instead, we’ll have to call first to see if he has bialys.)
Yea yea, food safety is important but you can’t live your life worrying about every restaurant you walk into. I figure if TW drops dead from food poisoning or e coli after visiting Waffle House, she’ll be ok with that – Waffle House makes a great "last meal".

Daily Dose of Cupcakes
In honor of World Toilet Day (Sunday) and the World Toilet Expo, we should all make some toilet topped cupcakes, shouldn’t we?! Yes we certainly should. Particularly if you are like me and have a photo collection of toilets from around the world. Or if you are like TW who spends more time in the bathroom than most. World Toilet Day cupcakes are totally in order!
If you’re serious about your toilet cupcakes, then Ruby Lane has some nice vintage items that could be used. Expensive but nice collectibles, if you’re into toilet collectibles. On ebay you can track down lots of different types of “bathroom sets” – a wood look, (or you can just go to oakridge and grab the toilet only). I prefer porcelain.
Happy World Toilet Day!
