Strap them kids in, give 'em a little bit of vodka in a cherry coke

Things I learned today.

Having your tits smashed in a vise hurts.  Oh, wait.  I knew that.

There is a thing called "pink silver."  Pink silver is (to my eye anyway) brown.  A lot like Joyita's rings, in fact.  *pout* And here I thought we'd made that up.

That there are things called "worry rings," and I bought one.  No, I don't need another ring.  But I like it.

Dorothy Sayers actually breaks the fourth wall a number of times in Strong Poison, which I'm kind of accidentally re-reading.  I had never noticed this before.

Toast Express *is* open on Mondays, even though the sign wasn't lit.  Also, Steve and I will apparently be in an "internet commercial", whatever that means, for Toast Express.

At Day's Jewelers it costs as much for a clasp to replace the clasp that was broken than the entire necklace cost -- OK, Some Years Back.

This week needs more hours in it.  Just sayin'.

We got our schedules for RavenCon.  I'll post that realsoonow.

Today's blog title comes to you from Jame McMurtry, "Chocktaw Bingo."
