So today at Central Market they had Vidalia onions. I adore Vidalia onions. A year or so ago, 's parents gave us a FryDaddy that we hadn't opened yet. We opened it tonight. Ohhhhhh…. onion rings w/ Vidalia onions. Then we tried to batter and fry some cheese chunks…. they didn't work out so well, but were still yummy. Then we sliced up a potato – mmmm…. best french fries I've had in an eon! I feel ill…. I'll pay for this, I'm sure.
Why am I awake?
News about Ender's Game: The Movie Since Ain't It Cool News is carrying the story, we're certainly not going to deny it here. The director of Ender's Game is Wolfgang Petersen. The studio that is developing it is Warner Brothers. OSC is really happy about both.

The resulting sound is EXACTLY like tapping a window with car keys – and it carries! On another note, I (heart) my Palm.
… from another dystopia. The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood “Now it's like remembering the paper money, when they still had that. My mother kept some of it, pasted into her scrapbook along with the early photos. It was obsolete by then, you couldn't buy anything with it. Pieces of paper, thickish, greasy to the touch, green-colored, with pictures on each side, some old man in a wig and on the other side a pyramid with an eye above it. It said “In God We Trust.” My mother said people used to have signs beside their cash registers, for a…
Finally, a school that's responsible. These students are experiencing <gasp> consequences for their actions – unlike the last one, where the teacher quit in disgust. Cheating scandal The students had to rewrite the essays — but will receive a zero for the work, Hamilton said. They also must write an essay reflecting on their plagiarism. And next week, the students will participate in a 12-hour, after-school ethics seminar. They'll also help clean the school, Hamilton said. The honor society students, whose memberships have been suspended, have even more work. They will be paired with local attorneys to research the legal…
Suit asserts a Wendy's sandwich 'exploded' FREMONT – A Clyde woman claims a Wendy's chicken sandwich “exploded” onto her face and hands and caused severe burns. She filed suit against the fast food chain yesterday in Sandusky County Common Pleas Court. In the lawsuit, Toledo attorney Samuel Bolotin alleges that a defect in the design of the chicken sandwich and the failure of Wendy's employees to warn patrons of the risk of the sandwich's exploding warrant a judgment against the company. Mitzi Pumphrey is asking for no less than $25,000 from a jury to help pay for the pain and…
