I love this cookie! The concept is awesome, and the eyes totally make it:
I’m amused by these bean bags. They look way more comfortable than airline seats!
I have gmail set up to change the background based on Boston weather. It’s kind of like having a window, if my window displayed my email in the middle.
This has me worried:

A common disappointment with the bread machine: the bread rises too fast (too much water or yeast is often the cause-this time I fear I contaminated the yeast-pocket with maple syrup during the pre-heating period) and then collapses in on itself. Usually still tasty, though, so I’m looking forward to trying this one.

Wally meets a girl. She’s initially hostile—paradoxically so. How do we defeat our own ends before we start? They spend one night together during which she does something crazy and ends up with a fragile young life inside her. After this she shuts down—unresponsive, uninterested. He takes her on dates, kills himself trying to awaken her interest or interaction, but fails. She’s taken away to be divested of that life in a strange place where he doesn’t speak the language, but there are lots of girls just like her.
Then we enter the anti-Walmart plot for a bit.
I didn’t realize I was a Paul Simon fangirl. I really didn’t! But how can you not bop along with Paul & Chevy Chase?
I keep hearing songs, on the radio or Pandora that make my day. And there’s been radio silence here too long, so maybe they will make your day too!
This is on the country station in Boston all the time, and it’s way fun, with some sappy bits. And it’s (noticing a theme?) so happy! “Every day’s a revolution! Welcome to the future!”
Youtube: (This isn’t much of a video—all the official ones have been pulled by Warner in some sort of financial snit with YouTube—but it has the official recording.)
Lyrics: When I was ten years old, I remember thinkin’ how cool it would be, when we were goin’ on an eight hour drive, if I could just watch T.V.
And I’d have given anything to have my own PacMan game at home. I used to have to get a ride down to the arcade; Now I’ve got it on my phone.
He-e-ey… Glory glory hallelujah. Welcome to the future.
My grandpa was in World War II, he fought against the Japanese. He wrote a hundred letters to my grandma; mailed em from his base in the Philippines.
I wish they could see this now, where they say this change can go. Cause I was on a video chat this morning with a company in Tokyo.
He-e-ey… Everyday is a revolution. Welcome to the future.
He-e-ey… Look around it’s all so clear. He-e-ey… Wherever we would go and well we… He-e-ey… So many things I never thought I’d see… happening right in front of me.
I had a friend in school, running-back on a football team, they burned a cross in his front yard for asking out the home-coming queen.
I thought about him today, everybody who’s seen what he’s seen, from a woman on a bus to a man with a dream.
He-e-ey… Wake up Martin Luther. Welcome to the future. He-e-ey… Glory glory hallelujah. Welcome to the future.
I keep hearing songs, on the radio or Pandora that make my day. And there’s been radio silence here too long, so maybe they will make your day too!
I hadn’t heard this song in years, until it came up on Pandora when I decided that doing expense reports would be intolerable without some music. It’s a fun story, with great rock beat and some gospel influence (he recorded it with a gospel choir on backup vocals). And he performed it on the Muppet Show with Electric Mayhem and monster gospel choir! How can you go wrong with Muppet backup vocals?!?

Lyrics: When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy) And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy) I’d say “now who do, Who do you think you’re fooling? ” (when I was just a boy) I’m a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy) I’m a singer in a sunday choir Oh , my mama loves, she loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me She love me, love me, love me, love me
When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man) And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man) I’d say “now who do, Who do you think you’re fooling? ” (grown to be a man) I’m a consummated man (grown to be a man) I can snatch a little purity My mama loves me, she loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me She love me, love me, love me, love me And if I was president (was the president) The minute congress call my name (was the president) I’d say “who do, Who do you think you’re fooling? (who do you think you’re fooling)
I’ve got the presidential seal (was the president) I’m up on the presidential podium My mama loves me She loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me
Proof that the best camera is the one you have: pictures of the neat cargo-loader at the airport, the decorative manhole cover, and sushi at the automat.
