It was 3°F this morning when I left for work. In my stupor, I said, "Hey, that's three times warmer than it was yesterday!"

You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
another single digit day here. That is wrong.
I agree with Sue that hibernation should at least be an option.
also? I should be able to call in "hibernating" and not lose vacation days.
last night's OC left me flat, but then I watched Monster's Inc. and I got silly happy. KITTY!
topically, I am having some of my homemade turkey chili today for lunch. It has beans, but no pasta or tomatoes.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I will go and order some turkey chili today for lunch in solidarity with msbelle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I figured out how the guy got my number -- I had the same phone number at that address as I did at my following address, and that number now has a change-number message giving my cell phone. But still!
I need to go to Home Depot to buy paint. Then I need to paint. Will I actually have time to paint a room today, and still go out this evening?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The lesson of this week's ER? Kinda weird, and I can't believe the doctor in question needed to learn it.
Also? Luka? Still hottest doctor ever.

WOOHOO! Tom rawks.
Jesse, it depends on how much you paint. I was able to paint my kitchen in a couple of hours. The trip to HD will take a minimum of an hour though.

With taping and everything?
Possibly I should get moving if I'm actually going to do this. Or just give in, and do it Sunday when it won't be so cold.

I've already ordered Chinese, which is just as well, since the closest place I could go to order chili is probably Wendy's.

taping didn't take that long and painting goes pretty fast except for drying times.

Excellent Paul Krugman editorial in NYT exposing the Bush lie that the current Social Security program is unfair to blacks.
I read this this morning. I love Paul Krugman and want to have his babies. The Bob Herbert column on the same page is also pretty good (short version -- yes, Bloomberg is leaps and bounds ahead of Pataki wrt fiscal responsibility, but the West Side Stadium idea is crack-addled and lame when we need that money for public schools and a new A train).
