    Chuck is AWEsome!

    On our flight to Maui, we watched the premiere of “Chuck,” which doesn’t actually start until September 24. I suppose this is a marketing ploy to get “buzz” going, and I’m actually okay with getting suckered and blogging about it. Why? Because “Chuck” is funny and smart and has a great cast that really clicks, and because we laughed… we laughed a LOT, in that way that can only rendered by “OMG LOL.”  Chuck is played by Zachary Levi. The end of the episode had a “zing!” comic turn that made us make the “BWAAAAAA!!” noise. It’s almost, almost, worth…

    welcome to maui

    Yeah, yeah, hate us because we’re in Maui, AGAIN. This time our karma must not have been good, as we had a series of mishaps as soon as we landed at Kahului. The door to the plane was stuck or the jetway wouldn’t extend, so we were stuck for about half an hour in the aisle. Then the car rental went really smooth, except that Avis gave us a bigger SUV than we’d hoped for, although their Preferred Express service is AWEsome. I couldn’t reach anyone at the condo who could tell us what our unit number was – I…

    Oh hai! iz last hi-landur « I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?

    Oh hai! iz last hi-landur « I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER? It had to happen: the LOLcat community takes a swipe at Highlander fandom. And I have to do my bit. Methos: “O noes! I has kil Silus! I liken Silus!” Silas: “kthxbai. KWIKNINX0RZ!!1!” By the way, what the heck is up with the “next Highlander movie” going direct to SciFi this Saturday? Why even bother? Even we former l33t fenwomen, who went to all the cons and bought all the Highlander Store junk, are scratching our heads. [tags]LOLcat, Icanhascheezburger, Highlander[/tags]

    Egg Burrito In A Bag, With Olive

    Right, so this was the result. The bags came out of the saucepans full of boiling water, and were distributed via a pair of tongs and some scissors, because the bags tended to melt at the top if they came into contact with the hot edge of the pans. Melissa’s and Gloria’s bags were completely fused at the top and my mother-in-law was struggling to separate them until the scissors were brought to the table. She noted as how it would be more convenient if they had sat next to each other… but soon enough the Siamese twin bag omelets…

    Musical Unicornery

    Things are about to get interesting in the Diocese of Chicago, in the “ancient Chinese curse” sense, so I went in search of a spiritual or musical unicorn chaser to get me in a better frame of mind. After yesterday’s horrifying screed from a Nigerian bishop named Orama put me off reading the Internets tubes for a day, a friend emailed me to say that the Archbishop of All Nigeria will be speaking in the Chicago suburbs later in September, in support of some congregations that broke away to affiliate with the Anglican Church of Rwanda (bah, no linky-love for…

    Poetry for Pleasure, Fun Beyond Measure

    My husband David and I spent the weekend either running around in the heat shopping for materials for a couple of easily-accomplished home improvement tasks, or dragging ourselves “into the cool” of the house to have a tasty beverage and recover our energy for a bit. Also, there was napping. It was a good weekend for that. We managed to complete one little project day before yesterday, on Saturday. The guys that poured the driveway had left trenches down the side of the driveway where the wooden forms had been staked into the ground for the pour, and after looking…
