Till you say don't you wish you never, never met her

Unrelated things of a Friday turning into Saturday—

1. While I just wanted to get out of the basement of the Harvard Book Store as fast as possible to get away from the man who took a book out of my hand in order to replace it on the shelf—without either speaking to me or making eye contact, while I was in the process of putting it back myself—I really appreciated my husband's offer to go back to the comics section and either smack wildly at the shelves with a large heavy paperback while shouting "IF ONLY SOMEONE COULD HELP ME PUT BOOK BACK!" or strike a coy pose and teasingly slide the book in and out, in and out between its fellows.

(I got out with a very cheap, very good copy of Iain Sinclair's Edge of the Orison (2005), however, so I won.)

2. So Breitbart is currently urging war on Kellogg's for pulling their advertising from the website and Penzeys is beautifully not backing down on their political talk. I foresee a lot of Ceylon cinnamon Rice Krispie treats in my future.

(derspatchel: "Oh, and clove, and cardamom, and lemon extract . . .")

3. Tonight Autolycus climbed the refrigerator and then threw up off the top of it. I feel he has struck a blow for cat undergraduates everywhere.

(Still better than the brief, tragic reign of Emperor Poopfoot IV.)

I just ordered a lot of spices from Penzeys. Pass the ginger.

The only good thing about that pile of crap 💩 with his hand in your life is the image of your husband in the coy pose, sliding, sliding.

Bill Penzey isn't a one off -- he's a local hero in these parts. (We even have a Penzeys store.)

What a jerk. I like Rob's suggestion, though. Good find!

Hm. Penzey's is privately held, but I could buy some Kellogg's stock...
