A brand new addition to the old edition, with the love unconditional

So I just need to make it known to the world that my rotary phone is now fully functional. My uncle fixed it for me and we plugged it in and used it. It's got an awesome ring. My house doesn't have a land line or I'd tell you all to call me just so I could use it, but the thought counts.

I'm also slowly mastering the art of fried tofu. with Garlic of course.

Bethe Reed: my toes are teal. I'm very excited about this.

I think I've watched (and by watched I mean had on in the background of whatever I was doing) Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog about 4 times in the past week. If any of you haven't seen it, look it up. It's 44 minutes of pure happy. ...In the sense that Dr. Horrible is an evil villain played by Neil Patrick Harris who thinks the world is a mess and he just needs to rule it. But Captain Hammer keeps getting in the way.

I've decided Haruki Murakami is one of the best authors ever. Anthony I'm very very glad you read Kafka on the Shore. You need to read the one I just read. It addresses sheep in the same confusing yet fascinating way that Kafka addresses... everything. As in it really just makes no sense. And I suddenly know random sheep facts that I find far more interesting than they should by. Then there's the fact that the connection the book itself has to sheep is minimal. But it's entirely about sheep. ...I'm banking on your ability to understand what I'm saying right now.

Everyone, you should really read at least one of Murakami's books. Just sayin. I'm positive Anthony has said this before, and I've agreed, but I'm just restating it for increased significance.

Oh! And I acquired bows for my hair today. I've been searching for those bow clips that you see mostly on little girls, unsuccessfully. My cousin Avi doesn't wear hers anymore. Aunt Lori told me I could take some. I only have 2, possibly 3, but I'm still delighted by the prospect of using them.
