The rest of my afternoon

[phinnia]

One idiot-proof dessert: sauteed bananas.
Seriously. 1 tblsp butter (yes, real butter, not oil and not margarine, butter. It's for flavouring.) melted over medium heat. Add 1 tblsp brown sugar and two sliced ripe bananas. Saute gently for a few minutes. Add about 2 tblsp orange juice. Saute for a few more minutes. Eat, preferably with ice cream; serves two, or one hungry person.
Might be going to the state NFB convention next weekend. We'll see. Yay Salem, or something. As uneasy as this kind of thing usually makes me (given that I am not, in general terms, an activist) I want my son to have a good future and an education without idiotic things like "sight saving classes" in it. I swear the school administrators are going to absolutely fear my phone number on their call display.
I should write something. Argh. I should also feed the boy dinner.
Strange factoids: Sean likes the dial tone.
Let's hope the Redskins' losing means what it usually means.
Off to see if I can feed the boy potpie.

Hmmm... let's hope not all Kerry supporters do the same as the guy they interviewed... not voting always means you're voting for the wrong guys...

Grr, I'm so angry with Sharper. He's not being a good role model at all!

I am a Kerry supporter and a Wisconsinite (and a Packer fan!) and I am most definitely going to vote on Tuesday.

I also like your "leave a comment" text. Temporal fork. Very cool. Is that a paid-user-only feature, getting to change that text?

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

I think so? It's available in some of the S2 style sets (if you go to change your journal layout you can see examples of each) ... I think those are mostly paid-user-only, but I'm not totally certain. :-)
Yeah, that quote kind of bugged me too. Hopefully he was kidding.

I've been anxiously awaiting those results for days, and noticed this just an hour ago. I'm quite pleased, and interpret this as yet another sign from the universe that Kerry is meant to win.

Of course, I also interpret the fact that the Red Sox won the World Series under the light of the blood moon to be a sign of the impending apocalypse if Bush is re-elected. Prepare to be judged on November 3rd. :D

Maybe it's the breaking of the Republican Curse? That sounds good. Positive happy thoughts.

You forgot to mention Barney.

I'm sorry -- what is NFB? I'm not American.

And I'm curious. The way you referred to butter made me think you have something against butter. What's wrong with butter? I love butter.

[phinnia.livejournal.com]

NFB is the National Federation of the Blind (my husband's blind, and our son is blind, so we're kind of involved in politics there. :-) ) Kind of similar to the RNIB or something like that.
I personally have nothing against butter. But I've been reading cooking way too long, and I've seen way too many people who will just blithely subsitute margarine for everything ... despite the flavour, or the transfats, or ... </foodie-rant>

[opts.livejournal.com]

I see (about the NFB). Is there some issue you're being active for?

Yeah, margarine is just _not_ a butter substitute.

From what I understand (there's a whole lot of drama here, so I'll just give the short version) the present administration that's running things couldn't find their way out of a bathroom stall with two hands, a map, and satellite GPS. So they're trying to vote them out and get some new people in, but sadly there's always been two or three less people than there needs to be in order to do that. That's the short version. The long version contains words like 'fraud' and 'financial irregularities' and 'department of Justice investigation' and is just not fun at all.

[opts.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm. Yes definitely not fun. I hope you guys manage to find a happy solution, hard as that may be...

Dang, now I want the Redskins to get really good so that the Dems stay put after this term. :)

Well, they've got four years to improve? :-)
