her majesty's a pretty nice girl

Where were you when the Queen Mum died? I was asleep on the blue striped loveseat with the headset on. Mike woke me to tell me. I launched into some half-conscious Q&A on whether the BBC television stations were going to be blacked out. Later I explained what I meant, but it's not worth repeating here.

Rold Gold pretzels now have gold wrappers instead of blue. (How appropriate.) They're attractive, but I kept missing them amongst the beige tortilla chip and yellow potato chips bags.

I'm enjoying my Star Trek: The Next Generation season DVDs. (Apparently television shows go into quotations and not italics, but I prefer italics.) I amused by the changes in Troi's uniform, just in the first three episodes so far. The more distance between the miniskirts or Ralph Wiggum shorts and the officers, the better.

Mike is off right now having a 'LAN Session.' That goes into quotation marks because that's how it's pronounced. Like something held at arm's length while being tenatively petted with the other hand.
