Reading: Edison & the Electric Chair.
Did you know electrocution means nothing etymologically and is in fact just a combination of electro and execution? We could have just as easily been calling death by electricity dynamort or electrosiesta.

That looks intersting, though I'm a bit behind on the books I already have at present.
Dynamort is kind of catchy. It could be a good band name.

I will from now on refer to it as electrosiesta. It sounds like a spa treatment.

Have you read Salt: A World History? Equally interesting.
Those pictures look like there's more of you. That would probably be a good thing.
Did I show you the picture of the burger I ate in San Francisco? It had an egg in it. I now require all of my burgers have an egg in it.

Behold.
I saw it on the menu at a late night burger joint in San Francisco and me being the burger afficionado I am had to try it. It must be a West Coast thing because I've since ordered it at three difference places here in town, two within walking distance. It's like having breakfast and lunch in one meal. Convenient and tasty!
Motorcycles aren't all that fun. They're big and heavy and expensive and require lots of shifting. Mopeds on the other hand (the kind in Erin's last set) are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Reading:
The Emperor by Ryszard Kapuscinski.
Read:
The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford. Very engaging, but the ending was a bit abrupt and disappointing. I'm extremely picky about endings. A good many books have been ruined for me in the last few pages if not last few lines.
Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls. Would probably be George W.'s favourite book if...

You haven't had shingles in like for ever (if ever!).
Baby, it's cold outside
The dog's been refusing to go on walks, even with her jacket and boots, preferring to stay home and cuddle up to the radiator or any other ounce of warmth she can find. I've been staying in and (defiantly?) making ice cream, though I haven't brought myself to eat any of it yet. I think if I keep eating comfort food...

I know exactly what you mean. I looked like a vagabond, with the way I'd assembled a variety of scarves, hats, and such, but I didn't freeze. 
james:
I'm SOOO glad you liked the book. I knew it would be perfect for you. and even if you werent into kids books, i thought, shit, if i got that thing in the mail, i would be pretty happy.
glad you liked it, sorry it did take as long as it did.

New York pictures are coming.
In the meantime, the best burger ever turned out to be a dud. The restaurant changed their formula so it was an unfair comparison. An onion bun was substituted and the nasty waitress must have changed up our orders so we got well done burgers instead of medium. Nevertheless, I am still grateful to whomever raised the bar in New...

Considering your predilection for breakfast meats together (but not touching), I wanted to get your opinion on this monstrosity I came across...
Eating: Homemade apple pie. For breakfast.
Reading: Europe by Norman Davies. I'll be quite proud of myself if I finish it before Christmas. I'll trhrow myself a party if I finish it before my birthday.

That breakfast special has my name written all over it. Luckily I don't live nearby or I'd die from a coronary before 30.

I'm looking for sketchy guys mackin' my girl.

no rash yet?!
Mine took about a week of pain... then the pain went away for 2 days ... then KAPOW! Rash + Pain overnight... then worse, and worse and worse for about a week then slowly better over 2 weeks.

They told me that if I would have caught it BEFORE the rash and started anti-viral that it would have greatly reduced the time I spent as a ball of pain and pregnant-woman-killing machine ... so you may be in for a lighter ride.
Got delivered within a half hour of us waking up in the morning, and I think I closed the book at around 9:30 with the girl about 20 minutes behind me.
We figured there was no way to avoid spoilers in the media for much longer than a day, and didn't want to take the risk!
