During my trip to Spain all the more typical (straight) girls were obsessing over something called Stradivarius. The boys and I were slightly baffled. Wasn't this a type of violin? Specificially one Sherlock Holmes possessed (I bought a copy of a Study in Scarlet in spanish!) So why are these teenage girls who've never read SH or play the violin ( Read more... )

I'm using  this post as a venue to ramble about Thanksgiving (I live in the New York remember) and reply to your comments. I don't actually hate you. Isn't that great! :D

I eventually found out what number anniversary it was. Nineteenth. So there.

Woke up half an hour before my dentist appointment for cleaning and my last fluoride treatment. Got there on time except just my luck to get the nerdy guy who just got out of dentistry school. He did a good enough job I ( Read more... )
