Observations from a day off.

Dune the extended cut movie still leaves out what I consider the most important parts of the story. If you don't talk about the choice Paul has to make about what he sees in the future, you missed the whole point.

Overheating almond bark turns it to thick frosting, not creamy, dippable, confection.

Iceman likes to stand in doors during timed missions, making Storm very angry.

A case of cans may last longer than a 2-liter, but it never lasts long enough.

A spot of alcohol in any form, NyQuil liqui-tabs or schnapps or anything, makes my eyes sae heavy of a morning.

The best day of many blankets on a bed is never the first. They have to meld into one cohesive thermal fortress over time.

Living in a house you pay for is much better than attending it from time to time. The varying lighting conditions alone are worth staying in now and then.

I write a lot more when I am undistracted. I'm able to let it flow, and come back later, rather than gtrudge piece by piece.

Julia Child's instructions for boiled eggs are still perfect.

I am reresolved that hamburgers with odd bits of seasoning are a waste of time, and all you need is chopped onions in the pan. Also, Munster is still the champion cheeseburger cheese.

Computer speakers with a USB power attachment sound better than those with a wall power attachment. Especially for techno.

When no one gets out of bed until ten, it's hard to get the trash out on time.

A day off without any time off is not a day off at all. I could do this for a living, man.

The Jill=all the kinds of amazing. I think I will keep her.
