I... can't see my toes anymore.

Oh my. What I just read on my Russian news community:
Blogger mysea reports that anarchists have stolen Leo Trotsky's ashes from a cemetery in Mexico City and baked them into cookies. The cookies were then sent to journalists, Trotskian organizations and fellow anarchist groups world-wide along with a cynical, philosophical treatise on political re-carnation. Mmm... Trotscookies. A commenter replies: "Couldn't they eat our Lenin instead?"
I have only three words: POT OF TEA.
If you don't get it, never mind.

Well, my energy has returned today after recuperating all day yesterday from Sunday's exertions. I move that it was the cherry pie that cured me.
I even made French toast for breakfast. I learned that I must soak my bread longer in the egg stuff than when using store bread.
Anyway... I started a boy's jacket today because I cut one out the other day from one of the vintage patterns I got on eBay a while back. I'm using plaid flannel shirting in glorious Sperry and McGurk style... it won't be a super-warm coat, but a nice jacket for spring or fall methinks. Taking a break for the moment though as I always do when I get to the parts of sewing I really hate (facing collars and setting sleeves). I also cut out a pair of denim pants to go with the coat.
Kai called me last night and said Misty is having a tupperware party this evening to which nobody was coming and so I guess I'll be going to that tonight with her. Dan asked me if I was going to buy a bunch of stuff. Ih. I doubt it, unless something looks strikingly useful. Kai said it was weird because she hasn't been to a tupperware party since she was a child going with her mom. Ditto for me. I guess that means we're old now.

And, because this is a true gem that I found on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
eattheolives's Facebook page and it made me giggle:
Mari has a message for the masses: AVOID SUPERFLUOUS QUOTATION MARKS! The world will be a nicer place. Never, never, never write "French" bread unless your bread is only masquerading as French. Nor should you write "Fresh" pizza unless your pizza is really four weeks old.
Methinks I need a similar statement on my profile, except it would be about inappropriate apostrophes. I saw someone's house this morning had a sign that said "The Tarrant's".
The Tarrant's what? Even if you MEANT it to be possessive, as in "So-and-so's House", the proper apostrophe placement for a home with multiple dwellers would be "Tarrants'". This gets my goat constantly because it is EVERYWHERE. I'm not sure whether this or improper use of quotation marks annoys me more.
I love my fuzzy beast who sits on my lap and makes noiseless mews at me.

General amusement.
SOMEBODY... somebody brought a certain scary personage's rating from ONE STAR to "THREE".
Said scary personage has been reduced to "TWO STAR'S" ::thumbsup::
Oh man, that makes me have to go listen to The Saga.
