I heard this on NPR this morning and had to refrain from yelling at my car radio: Daily sweets 'linked to violence' So, if kids eat a piece of chocolate every day, they grow up to be violent criminals? My daughters are going to be the next Bonnie and, um, other Bonnie? I'm going with the "utter nonsense" response. Anne, ravening hoards of teenage girls with PMS, anyone? Mmmmmm, chocolate and violence - tasty!

Review of last night's Glee on ProjectRungay. If you're not reading this blog,why not: Reviews and discussion of Glee and Mad Men as well as Project Runway and fashiondiscussion a couple of steps beyong the Fug Girls. Julia, oh, yeah. They pretty much owned me at Project Runway, but now that they review Mad Men and Glee? I worship at their altar. My favorite bit from the Glee review: Well, last night, after 14 years together, Tom was shocked to find that Lorenzo has been hiding his love for Heart all this time. Yes, Lorenzo got a little teary-eyed over that fantastic (and way too short) duet between Will and April and confessed that he was absolutely nuts for that song and has been for years. Tom will need some time to process that one. **snicker, snortle, giggle** Now I have to go off and read the whole thing. ;D

What was the title of that lunatic piece of epic Spander by Lazulicat we were all reading way back when? I want to use it as an example of OTT OOC and my brain, she is not working whatsoever. Julia, *le sigh* Repossession. And what a festival of crazy it was. Ah, Repossession. I still go back and read favorite bits and pieces from that. Soooooooo could have benefitted from a ruthless editor, that story could have.

I always, when I get a receipt from an ATM, take the time to reconcile the bank's balance with the balance in my checkbook. Yes, I am that anal. Wanna make something of it? Anyway, I just spent more time than I'd like to admit fussing with the online bank statement, and the checkbook, and my calculator, before realizing ( ) that the debits from the vet and Joann's went through before I got to the bank, even though I'd written down and deducted the bank transactions before I left home, because I knew how much those would be, and that therefore the line-by-line balance in my checkbook was out of order and would have to be adjusted accordingly before it could be reconciled to the ATM receipt. That's not counting the lost checks (utility companies say we paid, bank says, "Check? What check?") I've been carrying for years now, and the checks that haven't cleared yet (BOHS Art department, I'm looking at you ). Those, I know about already. I'm going to go lie down for a while. Anne, as I said,

Looks like I'm the only tech around at the moment, so I'll get working on a new part.

No need to worry, though--there's a fresh new part waiting for you here.
