[the vintage Danta and Mrs. Claus musicboxes i fell in love with while antique-ing on Cape Cod. we brought them home to live with us, and not just because they were 50% off]

. . . . . . . . .

things i googled yesterday  (what on earth did we do without all this knowledge at our fingertips???):

~ “which has more caffeine: Diet Coke or Sunkist?” answer: Diet Coke, which also (previously unbeknownst to me) has much more caffeine than regular Coca Cola. 

~ “what kind of cigarettes does Obama smoke?” answer: Marlboro Reds.  so manly! 

~ “is Sam Champion his real name?” answer: i guess so, yeah.  in case i’ve never mentioned it before, i love sam.  the 11:00 news has totally gone downhill without him.

~ “WHO is watching Jay Leno, and do they really like him?” answer: undetermined, but he’s most definitely not my cup of tea.  see also: no one knows when they’re going to show Law & Order once Jay’s stupid nightly prime time show debuts.  oh america, things were looking so hopeful before…

~ “what makes brown sugar brown?” answer: molasses.  you probably knew that, but i had no idea.

[from the same antique shop: check out Angry-Claus.  i suspect a little brow-sculpting and a belt that matches his suit would do wonders for his disposition.  alas, i'll never know, as i didn't buy him.]
