May you have a dashedly fantastic womb extraction anniversary, Musie (even if you do have to work)!

Fact: On this day in 1904, Fats Waller was born in a building on a city corner which would eventually become a video store.



Bonus! Sesame Street version with animation by the incredible Sally Cruikshank!

Addendum/Pudendum: I love Mia Farrow.

The best part is the end.

Good news for PRaniacs (Runway Projectors? PR People? Kluminaries?). Last night's episode was great: Chris won, Christian seemed cool for once, "and I've known some Fierce bitches," and Ricky was sent off to a waiting wading pool of his own tears. Luckily he had just the orange bathing suit for the occasion!

Things Which Bear a Mysterious Link That Eludes You and Me:
1. Peeking out my blinds this morning, I was afraid it had sniced last night, but it was just snow, maybe a snizzle, but certainly not a snownpour.
2. Listening to some internets radio yesterday and Fraud in The '80s came on and on my bulletin board Elvis Presley (wearing gold lame and balanced by crotch on a pin) liked it so much he jumped off.
3. Exercising my rights, I wore my "I Voted Today!" sticker all day yesterday, but kind of wished that I got a sticker that said "I am a Superfat Tuesdanian?"
4. It's so important to court the fictional place vote. For fictional electorates, of course.

"I've been entertained and inspired by Garrison Keillor's work through the years," Obama said in a statement. "As president, I will wake up every day thinking about how I can help make life better in places like Lake Wobegon all across the country."

And apparently Chabon wrote a discussion for some internet newspaper website that I can't see because I'm not registered--here's where the promise of the internets breaks down.

5. My three hundred two volume project is coming to fruition tonight and I'm sort of sad to see those brown hardcovers go. Empty Book Nest? I remember watching that show with my mom when I was a kid.
6. When the clime gets more tropicalian, I must find a tree for my lunches and compose songs on my mandolin whilst eating avocados and two ideas of my own design (don't tell anyone, please--you're sworn to secrecy now): pizza soup and pizza burritos.

One of the most impressive statements ever made on Project Runway--a well-deserved win for Christian and Team Fierce! I was kind of impressed with him Wednesday, even though he does have a squid-arm.

Ricky-Jo-Jo ( Follow the cut for my helpful illustration! ) apparently has made human sacrifices to the god of stupid hats to continue to be on the show. Either that, or he's sleeping with Michael Kors, which I don't like to think about...



Ricky and Sweet P are the kisses of death on team challenges--I was genuinely worried for Rami.

Depp and Richards? You can't fool me, Stone!
