Monday, August 15th, 2011
* Threadcakes: http://cakewrecks.squarespace.com/home/2011/8/14/sunday-sweets-threadcakes-2011-final.html

* This makes me sad: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/08/arts/edgar-allan-poe-house-in-baltimore-faces-closing.html

I never went to the house, but I've been to the grave a number of times. If i'd known about the house museum, I'd have tried to get either Bill Kidwell or my mom to take me. I have an attachment to Poe, and in times of trouble, I play a CD of Vincent price and Mr. Barrymore reading his collected works. It's comforting.

* Leverage: OMG, Hardisan claimed to be in the Justice League of America in his list of phony credentials. I love stuff like that.

It's times like these I really miss the late great Molly Ivins.

* It was 4AM when I remembered I had that stupid paperwork to do. *facepalm* It'll have to be tomorrow.
