• From @chicobangs: Letterman posted the Bill Hicks apology (with Bill’s set) from last night: http://bit.ly/Mg6o #

• @ST_Rachel Love. Now I want the one with the colors. We also bought “Show Me A Sign” on iTunes today. So, you know, Leah can go to Harvard. #
• I think one of the judges on Iron Chef America has a personality disorder. #
• @thorswitch I couldn’t find his name. Portly old grump with a thick head of gray hair. #
• Fraction traded a bunch of games in and got me a DS. It’s pink. It’s nice to get presents when you’re sick. #
• Mystery solved? HL’s “Bye-bye, D” might be “Bye-bye, STEVE.” Blue’s Clues. #
• Back to the clinic today. Apparently it’s a virus and antibiotics won’t help. I should feel better by Friday. Too bad I fly on Tuesday. #

So… I baked the red velvet cupcakes on two trays. The ones on the top tray rose beautifully, forming little domes. The ones on the lower trays are uneven with overhang — muffin tops. Obviously the heat in my oven is uneven, but how does the uneven heat relate to the shapes of the cakes?

• Is Johnny Gabriel’s Red Velvet Cake recipe the undisputed best? #
• Heh. For 3 years olds — we have a way to go yet. http://www.pulseonline.com/cb3.htm #
• @duckykramp Oh, that is AWESOME. Did you get it recently? #
• Pouring tea. Not civilized, just sick. #

• No, that would not save your marriage, you horrible woman. #
• @mikedalena No, the Best Show on WFMU.org. #
• @mikedalena Is “coach the cheerleaders” a euphamism? in reply to mikedalena #
• I am sick. Oh, I am so sick. Enough denial. I go to the doctor today. #
• I have such mixed feeling about Facebook. Some, “Hey, it’s YOU!” Some, “Oh… it’s you.” Mostly, “Do I know you?” #
• That sounded far snottier than I intended. Blame the sinus infection. My temper’s short today. (1 or 2 reconnects have made it worthwhile.) #
• Oishinbo #
• I use a digital voice recorder to help me keep track of things. I seem to have misplaced it. The irony is not lost on me. #
• The man behind me is singing along to the Muzak version of Groovin’ as his wife begs him to go get her a 3 piece special from Church’s. #

• What do you think of these glasses? – http://bnup2.com/p/455555 #
• New glasses? – http://bnup2.com/p/455558 #
• Hm. Reaction largely negative. #
• All errands done plus 3 extras. If I didn’t still feel like crap, i’d be giddy. Headed home to feel sorry for myself. #
• Taking Fraction back to the glasses store with me tomorrow, since I clearly can’t be trusted on my own. #
• @kwip and @kwipette — DUDES. An embarrassment of riches, that package. The blanket, in particular. It’s absolutely perfect. Thank you. #
• The Graveyard Book won the Newberry?! That’s so awesome, I don’t even know what to do with that. Holy. Crap. #
• There are sex acts that are not nearly as fun as these cupcake bites I’m making. Not many, mind you, but some. #
• I may actually go back to bed once April gets here. I never do that, but I have to shake this cold. #
• I am loving Kelsey Friday and the Rest of the Week. It’s meant for kids, but I don’t really care. #
• Do I know anyone who knows Diablo Cody? #
• Oh no! Updike is gone. #
• Scrivener, Final Draft, MSWord, Pages or something else? #
• @AprilLynn HL drums The Who, full version:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTCexYY309M #
• How would you spell “shi shi” — as in fancypants? Chi chi…? #
• @mechberg HAHAHAHAHA! No. But I love that answer. Apparently it’s “chichi.” #

• I am sick. I think this might be the first time since HL was born? Not sure. #
• Genius bar, gas, paper source, ups store–check, check, check, check. 2 errands left. #

• @tvbarn I’m likely inviting ire, but SLUMDOG was so upsetting to me we actually had to leave the theater. If it’s brilliant, I’ll never know #
• @usumcasane Have you seen it? #
• @usumcasane I am an absurdly delicate flower where movie violence is concerned. Don’t go by my reaction. #
• Beatles-loving parents:The Gap has Junkfood Yellow Submarine raglan tees on sale for $3.99. http://twurl.nl/4t6ak3 #
• @jazztival Pfft. The t-shirt or the sale price? Yellow Submarine? IRRC, Paul wrote it for Ringo. Anyway, I’m sure JL has loftier concerns. #

• Just dicked around for a full hour completely unintentionally on Ancestry.com. #
• Fraction subs for Joe on MySpace: http://twurl.nl/0yy0ty #
• @kmellon Where do you work? in reply to kmellon #
• Leonard Cohen serenades as I put away groceries. #
• @AugWorld Bird on a Wire, at the moment. #
• @tinytulip My favorite version of Hallelujah is probably John Cale’s, though. #
• We’re meant to be at a birthday party for a 3 year old in half an hour and HL is just now going down for his nap. Hm. #
• @usumcasane I have room in my heart for more than one version; I’m just saying Cale’s in my favorite. #
• @kmellon Dude, you work at a liquor store with a porn section?! #

• Quantum internet and a caterpillar plague. The world has gone weeeeird. #
• @laurennmcc Oh god, honey. I’m so, so sorry. #
• Just got caught up (ish) on WarrenEllis.com. Found most of the Blue Monday posts to be oddly sweet. And 1 or 2, HILARIOUS. #
