This is a picture of what might be the best diner breakfast I've ever had. Everything was bathed in bacon grease and butter before being served. mmmm, see the shimmering grease? Pure delight.

My cousin sent methis photo of a strapping young Estelle Getty.

Funniest thing: I own a shirt just like this even still. It's bigger, but yeah, it's pretty much the same shirt.

Mice. I hate 'em. Hate 'em bad. We have some in the house we're living in and they're getting bold enough to make themsleves known while we're in the same room. One was on a bag of bread last night in the kitchen while I was on the phone. Somehow, I grabbed the bag and wipped it quickly into the trash can, with the little mouse bastard along for the ride. I took the trash out but I'm not sure if the mouse was still in there or if he got out while we looked for lid for the trash. Ugh.
You probably know that we lived in a place that had a rat infestation a year and a half ago or so, and it was one of the worst living experiences I've ever been through (and I've had some seriously terrible roommates and girlfriends). Why are pests attracted to us? We're fairly clean - cleaner than most of the people we know. Are they drawn to my hatred of them? If something like that were the case, you'd think that a family of David Carusos would be squirming their way in through the heating vents.

You know what I like? Stripes on sheets. Not because they're aesthetically pleasing to me or anything; I don't care about that, although the sheets I'm referring to are indeed pleasing.
No, it's because when there are stripes on the fitted sheet, I get it on the mattress correct on the first try. That never happens with blank sheets.
You want to know what else I like? The Rockford Files.

I love playing cards with really old people. They're easy to beat (evern if they suspect you might be cheating, they're far too appreciative of the company to call you on it - you might not come back, and then what would they do?), and if someone who doesn't know me here's that I hang out with old people, they think I'm kind.
It's all win-win for me (and sometimes there's even money involved).

I just learned, in an important message from ADT, that one out of every three persons over the age of 65 will fall this year. Is that really supposed to scare anyone? I’m actually relieved that the American elderly have better balance than I do. I fell seven times last year, and was sober during three of them. God bless you, old people; you and your balance are something we should all be proud of.
-Don’t let ADT scare you, old timers – you’re doing just fine-

Today, I hate people who lead off questions with the word 'question', as if I won't be able to tell by their inflection (and the order in which they've placed the words coming out of their mouth) that I'm being asked something.
You wanna know what would make 2008 better than 2007?
Those people realizing how stupid they sound and either stopping, not leaving their homes, or exploding.
-I hate you, question announcers-
