Just a few random things on my mind:

• Just because I've not been commenting on the current political climate doesn't mean I haven't been paying attention. Today's vote on torture, the controversy over voting machines, and Keith Olbermann's stunning rebukes of the current regime haven't escaped my notice, I just don't think my feeble command of the details gives these weighty subjects the discussion they deserve. Others handle political analysis far better than I can: check out Shakespeare's Sister, Madame Verdi, Ornicus and the like. I also put forth that geekchick and vvalkyri have some thoughtful posts going on.
  
  • Also check out Jeffery Sharlet's stories about the Christian Right at Harper's magazine - they'll curl your hair.
    
  • Also Crooks and Liars for all your political video needs.
  
  
• I've been around too much good food lately! For my last day at my current job my co workers took me out to the Fantastically Good Indian Buffet place, and I topped this off with Fast Tasty Brunswick Stew this evening. When I have to make friends with Pepcid AC I know I've overdone it.
  
  • But..but...got a can of Xocolatl hot hot chocolate and it's not half bad. Not Ghiardelli, mind (the cinnamon/chiles don't blend into hot milk very well), but I suspect that used in combination with a regular cocoa it will lend it's sparkly burn to rich chocolatey goodness in a most fluffy way this winter :)
  
  
• May not be making Renn Faire Sunday as I had hoped to include D. in the outing but his back is still not doing well - prolonged sitting/standing for Medieval Baebes may be out of his range :( Might still go alone but not if I can salvage my planned date.
  
• I need to not be sitting at this computer any longer, and perhaps be getting a (relatively) early night.

I was thinking of hitting faire on Sunday depeding on weather.

I have a can of that chocolate sitting in my pantry (courtesy of Wegman's) that I haven't gotten around to using yet. I think brownies must be made with it. Mmmmmmmm.

I think we're going to the faire on Saturday, since apparently there's a housewarming party we're going to on Sunday.

Ach, burning brownies!! DO let me know how they turn out if you try it!

Re: Renn faire - if you do end up going Saturday, can you please let me know when M.B. end up performing? D. is still game for Sunday, but it would help me plan around his still sore back if I had some idea of when they go on.

They go on at 2 PM at the Royal Stage, according to the schedule
