A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've just had dirty feet, embarassingly enough. Scrubbing didn't help -- it just made the dirt swirl around. I have never been so excited to shave my legs! (I've been trying to take short showers.)

I can't even.

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.

It kinda gives you hope that people like him are out there, and can actually reach the consciousness of the media. So refreshing to hear someone like him speak instead of the pompous neocons.

Sad bathtubs!

I'm having an issue with the spanish homework. As so often happens, I'm not sure of an of the idioms. I need to grab my dicitionary. Stupid brain. Not working.

Also, why?

Did we know this?

NEW YORK - Former "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson has married longtime boyfriend Julian Ozanne.

The couple exchanged vows Dec. 29 at a friend's beach house on Lamu's Shella island, off Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, People magazine said Tuesday. The ceremony, which included hymns sung by a Kenyan choir in Swahili, was attended by immediate family and a handful of close friends.

Sounds nice. The article also says that she's 36. Does that sound right to you?

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

I would have pegged her as maybe 5 years older than that. I find it hard to believe she is younger than I am.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sounds nice. The article also says that she's 36. Does that sound right to you?

Yep. She was a baby-faced 23 or 24 when the X Files started up, which was my freshman year of college, which was 12 years ago.

Art Crawl!!!

IMDB said something like 42 -- I think that he is in his 30s.

I think she's a couple years older than that.

This is a big part of what I love about Jon Stewart -- you don't see these guys on many other shows. And by "these guys" I'm including Howard Zinn, too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Timelies,

Gronk. Stupid vents.

It's actually 31 degrees here. (23 with windchill). After the last few days it feels positively balmy. I was walking into work this morning and actually felt over-dresssed for the weather. We also got a couple inches of snow last night.

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.

Because they are dumb? We've had a bunch of fights about policy stuff here but since we're healthcare and thus must obey HIPPA regulations, the retort "Fine. And then you can be arrested and pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines." generally settles things pretty quick. The stuff that doesn't fall under those regulations, my boss (well, boss' boss now) is still pretty good about shutting people down over, thankfully. We still get the occaisional idiocy, but at least it's not a constant thing.

And now I'm off to a meeting about some security hardware that's been nothing but a headache since it was implemented 2 years ago. Whee.
