I love Your DeKalb Farmer's Market

What I bought:

1 lb organic cottage cheese
2 six-ounce servings of organic yogurt
A decent-sized wedge of pecorino pepato cheese for grating
A package of soy hot dogs
A pint of blueberries
An Ida Red apple

Paid $10.81.  The first three items on the list were 50% off.  Yum!

The Golden Compass

I finally got to see the movie.  I was amazed by two things: one, how much Lyra reminds me of an older Bug, and two, a scene that wasn't in the book [spoiler here].

When I saw that scene, I was stunned.  I actually paused the movie, stood up, and said out loud to nobody in particular, "She... Oh my God, she actually ---!"  And apparently Pullman came up with that idea, too, so I guess the Word Of God says it's canon.

Woo-hoo! John McCain hates me!

"I hate the bloggers!"
