I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am very very very dumb. My boss needed something done yesterday, and I had the template at home. I'd been working on it there, so it's usually easier for me to print it up from home and bring it in. Normally not an issue, so I told him I'd bring it in this morning.

I forgot I got a new computer for Christmas. I'm going to have to make a whole new template and print everything out before work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Morning, y'all. So, Enrique Murciano is on Ellen today, and I am freaked out by now NOT Hot Danny Taylor he is. It's like he's acting or something.

This is why most of my HOT TV crushes are really about the characters, not the actors.

Art Crawl!!!

Whoa. Are you saying that he isn't HDT in real life? That's unbelievable.

Also -- whoo hoo on TAR last night.

Umm, cartoon behinds are too much for the American viewing public? Huh.

I think he's better looking as himself, and kind of funny...it's just weird.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Jesse, I love your tag line. (for the record,

Faith without works is nothing. Works without faith? Still pretty good. -- Jon Stewart

I had never heard of the author they had on last night, and now I feel a need to go buy his book.

Maybe read it too.

Also, I doublechecked last night, and the scene of the councilman throwing that thing at the reporter still makes me giggle. A lot.

Thanks! It touched me. And Jim Wallis has done a ton of great stuff, in addition to writing -- I'm pretty sure low-income housing, at least.

Edit: Huh. I guess the whole Sojourners thing grew out of a community, and that's where the housing thing came from in my head.

It's snowing!

Hmm. Probably ought to try to find a hat.

It surely is snowing. Ick.

OK, why do the policy makers always make exceptions to sound policy that are a technical nightmare to implement? They keep doing this to me. I keep explaining the way the technical end works. They keep giving me nightmares.

Aw, poor sarameg....it's because (say it with me) people are stupid.
