saturday, just add caffeine

Chris missed his train by twenty minutes because the cab driver couldn't find doubletake's house and got lost.
On a related note, my complete and total disinterest regarding ever living in the suburbs is probably partly related to my complete and total disinterest in ever learning to drive.
And so I'm here with my coffee and kiddo on a Saturday. Apparently Alton Brown's due on All Things Considered this afternoon, so I'll tune that in at five (woot) and try to wake up some. Sean had a slightly bad night - I think he had nightmares or something. He'd wake up for a few minutes halfway and cry. Poor kiddo.
BuyBlue has an interesting breakdown of where companies send their money, politically speaking. Note to self: shop more at Trader Joe's. I keep forgetting they exist, and they're not that far away.
Have acquired myself a smallish moleskine notebook to jot down random seeming notes and ideas. Less easily lost than a thousand and one stickies that a certain small two legged someone or two certain fourlegged someones can pull off.
Also on a related note: I like Opera's built in 'refresh this page every N minutes' feature. It's shiny, and makes stalking tracking the progress of Chris's train easier. :-D

Been there, done that, threw up on the other side.

As disheartening as lousy writing moments are, it's nice to know that Neil Gaiman has them too. Guess I'm not the only one who's had more than a few dozen moments (per week) where they ponder giving it all up and opening a fruit stand. :-D

(Squealing Good Eats Fangirl enters the room, stage left, looking starryeyed and carrying a copy of 'I'm Just Here for the Food'.)

SGEF: Dude! Alton's in the new issue of Roadfly talking about his bike (link from mactavish) and also on All Things Considered talking about baking!

(Exeunt Squealing Good Eats Fangirl.)
