Long day in the universe. Meant to have this posted by 9ish.

The Company is surprisingly good.
2. Obligatory
KOL update: I hit level 11 today (day 15). My HC Sauceror run is going much more slowly than my other ones, but that's partially because I'm planning on nabbing at least Gourdcore this time (and have spent plenty of turns working on that one), and I might go for the Million Meat Stack trophy as well.
3. Weekend movie: We caught
Ratatouille, which was even better than I'd expected.
4. Had a lovely dinner on Saturday night at
La Spina, a cute little restaurant in Davis Square. Appetizers included a nice bruschetta variant with goat cheese and a yummy mozzarella salald. For an entree, I had a wonderful casarecci with pancetta and sweet onions.
shadesong had a very good risotto, and
ian_gunn had veal saltimbocca. Ice cream at
JP Licks followed (mmm, El Diablo).
5. Fox has
bumped New Amsterdam from their fall schedule so that you could enjoy more Don't Forget the Lyrics. My Tivo is grateful for the extra space this fall. Me, not so much.
6. Go
Tom Glavine!

The MFA found a new Van Gogh!

Poor Steve Spurrier. Someone forgot to tell him that universities are still, on paper, supposed to be about academics. It'd be a shame if he left South Carolina just because the school insists on only letting in academically qualified students. Next thing you know, they'll declare a ban on fixing test scores.

It's Brownback vs. Huckabee! Whoever loses, we all win.
10. Finally, there will be
fewer drinks to choose from at Starbucks! Which is fine, you know, as long as one of the drinks that gets bumped isn't, you know, coffee.
