(Confidential:  [personal profile] elisem , are you thinking of taking up pastry baking?  I had an odd dream in which you gave me an eclair, and it was delicious.)

For some reason, I began thinking that the song "Stout-Hearted Men" was in The Student Prince, which I thought I'd seen pieces of a couple years ago. No. What I saw pieces of a couple of years ago was New Moon, in which "Stout-Hearted Men" appears.

  • I've seen half of It. I think horror movies in theaters are off my menu. There was a that's it point. I've mostly read the book, although I don't remember the scene.
  • Medical fu.
  • We had one of those stealth thunderstorms. Two guys on the bus were pointing at their iPhone, saying "There's a thunderstorm." (I did not say, guys, the windows are wet and there was a rumble a minute ago.
  • There's an alternate universe in which when we returned from oveseas, Dad got assigned to the Presidio or the Oakland Army Base and I grew up here and get all the arcane references in the Chronicle.
  • Where is that stupid phone bill?
  • Taiko drumming...
