Yesterday&#8217;s commemorative address re: 9\/11 was quite spectacular, in a &#8220;wow &#8211; someone actually BUYS those t-shirts with the eagle superimposed on the firefighter superimposed on the american flag?&#8221; kind of way.  But I kind of feel like you all can do your own critiquing of those things.  Unless you&#8217;re LAZY.  You&#8217;re not LAZY are you?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of lazy, I am glad the new season of television is starting.  Will I be able to sit through another cycle of Top Model?  Does a unicorn laugh at you when you look away?  <\/p>\n<p>See:  oatmeal.  See also: my brain is.<\/p>\n<p>In lieu of a post involving ideas and clever turns of phrase, here I offer you some of the links I read regularly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.alittlepregnant.com\/\"> A little pregnant <\/a> and her friend <a href=\"http:\/\/tertia.typepad.com\/so_close\/\"> so close. <\/a>  Documentation of each woman&#8217;s experience with infertility, loss and eventual successful pregnancy and parenthood.  They are incredibly strong women and excellent writers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/culpa.diaryland.com\/060830_31.html\"> A woman who likes ducks <\/a> like me but is way smarter than me.  And another who maintains the <a href=\"http:\/\/evany.diaryland.com\/060817_64.html#choke%20collars,%20shh-ing,%20and%20other%20tails\">Extended Cake Mix.<\/a>  Very funny stuff.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.byrneunit.com\/blogs\/index.php\"> these people <\/a> watch more 90210 than me.  And that makes me feel fantastic.<\/p>\n<p>Something else that makes me feel fantastic but which isn&#8217;t a website?  Poori chips.  They come in a bag from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indianlife.com\/products\/products.asp\"> Indian Life <\/a> food company.  They&#8217;re like if you squished a bunch of samosas into a flat pancake.  And then cut the pancake into rectangular strips about 3&#8243; x 1&#8243; each.  And then deep fried the strips.  So good.  I tried in vain to locate them on the website above so that you might at least see them but rest assured, I type these words with greasy fingers and cumin breath.<\/p>\n<p>Aaaanddddd that&#8217;s all I&#8217;ve got.  Trombone is in the swing.  He has been swinging and staring at me for 25 minutes but now his eyes are starting to droop a little.  Damn &#8211; now he&#8217;s got the hiccups.
