Hooray!
Tomorrow’s Friday! (oh, wait…. ::consults calendar:: ) (Damn).
Doomsday Thought of the Day…
You know how old people are always saying things like “What this country needs is a good war” to combat America’s tendency toward overconsumption and overpopulation? What if this economical meltdown is just that? Is this just one of those Adam Smith* invisible hand of the market things, but this time people are supposed to…
This just in…
Tickets to see Leonard Cohen cost just as much as tickets to see the (fucking) Eagles – $200 each. HOOOOOLY CRAP. I will add that to the list of things I’m not buying. Yikes.
Stupidest blog post of the year
The dogsitter left her cell phone on my kitchen counter. She’ll pick it up tomorrow but until then it beeps approximately every 2 minutes. I am close to going spacefuck crazy listening to this. I can’t imagine how the dogs made it through 3 hours. Argh. (ah, yes, laineyd.com – vapid as always) ETA: If…

Apparently, everything…
Elaine’s Super Bowl…

Give me back my White Dog…
So, I took White Dog to the Apple Store because the touchpad is squirrely about responding. And, instead of saying “You’re a crackhead, this computer is fine”, they KEPT IT. Argh. The Apple store is a 30-ish minute drive from our house so I will probably not be able to retrieve it until Saturday. Until…
Perhaps another reason people don’t visit us…
So, I just figured out today that since I’m the only one at home who drinks soda, that I can drink directly from the two-liters I bought today at the store. Now to find a big enough straw. (I could have titled this post “Perhaps I’m turning into a man”) (Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll straighten…
