Today’s Music: Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – Kill Your Television

Wow, I suck. I was barely out in the sphere this week. One of the sad side effects of real life is that sometimes it’s such a timesuck. But I did get to see a few good posts.
Running On Sober ran 18 miles. Without timing it.
Mel is taking ballet lessons, and finally,
Jell Jell had a baby!!!

If y’all knew how much I enjoyed reading all your stuff, you might charge me for the privilege


In other “last week” news, we asked about themed donuts, and what would be a good way to make a donut. Wow, y’all have some…interesting ideas about pastries. here’s what you said. (As always, my comments are sprinkled in italics.)

Congratulations to John Phillips for this weeks winning answer. And from the available choices, the most popular was Dr Who donut – It’s bigger on the inside. So congratulations to all you lucky donut choosers too!

This week, our thoughts turn to travel. The car. The bicycle. The pogo stick
All noble and historic forms of transportation. But it’s the 21st century now.
So we ask, can’t we find a better way to get around? You tell me.
Leave your name in your answer, and we’ll link back to you next week. But do it before 27 Sept, because that’s when this one ends.

And until next time, enjoy this. Eddie Izzard’s bit about the Death Star cafeteria.
If you haven’t seen this before, you’re in for a treat. If you have seen it, then you know it will be fun to watch again!

Ok, I’m finishing this up at 0055 EST. Because sometimes WP likes to eat the posts.
So I hope y’all have a fun weekend, a great week, and I’ll see you when I see you.

  1. There was no breakfast in the house today, and so, the donut extravaganza here is not helping. I think I may need to make a morning outing. It’s Friday — no one will notice, right?

    P.S. Eddie Izzard is one of my favorites. Somewhere I literally have this same routine on VHS tape — no joke.

  2. Bacon-related were great suggestions. But hey – many like sticky donuts! BTW – this week I had a chocolate stout hamburger: Creamy Goat Cheese Folded into Chocolate Shavings and Cocoa Dust, Mayonnaise and Chocolate Stout Mushroom Sauce … and it was awesome! Thanks for Eddie Izzard!

    So, future mode of transportation: a bicycle with realistic seats.
