I can count on Jon Stewart to replay the highlights, right?

He's been my SotU source for ages now.

I am conflicted about the SotU. I'm kind of appalled with myself that I didn't know it was tonight until this morning. I don't want to watch, really, but feel that I Should. As a person who tries to be an informed citizen. Maybe I'll start with In A Fix or something and switch over at the commercial, see how it goes.

I am ignoring the SotU and watching Eddie Izzard in its place. This has the added benefit of keeping me sane whilst I deal with IRS crap.

t not really here

might I suggest Project Runway on Bravo instead of the SotU? catty goodness.

The rider isn't planning to pull the woman onto the horse, just grab her and force her to walk/run away from where she is.

I understand now. I agree about the reins.

I've decided - I'm watching QaF on DVD as my anti-SotU, thumb my nose at the president, evening activity.

I just remembered that I still have the Pompeii special from the Discovery Channel recorded. That sounds like a much more attractive disaster to watch than the SotU.

I don't think my dirty words are bad enough for SOTU. Yes, Hec, JZ was the good cop.

I just remembered that I still have the Pompeii special from the Discovery Channel recorded.

I watched that a couple days ago. It was well timed because I had just finished the book Pompeii.

I'm going to compromise with myself and have the SotU on low low volume, or muted, and read a book, and drink.

I'm going to work on fanfic and/or watch something on the Arts & Learning Discovery Planet & Garden Network. No SotU for me. I'll read the text later.

By the way, Susan, I love your tag.

For the record:

So, I left work early today, after several unsuccessful phone calls to maintenance to get someone to come vacuum in there. I decided to go grab lunch, and as I was walking, I unexpectedly ran into my best friend, who had as much free time as I did, so she came with me. I then bought a vanilla Coke, and won a free Coke. And lunch was yummy, too, but it was just a bean and cheese burrito, so nothing really impressive. Then I went to my class, which was ceramics, and now I feel great. I was still kind of tense by the time I got there, despite the fun lunch with my friend, but just the act of smoothing the clay for hours was so incredibly soothing. (Also, for a fun bonus, the guest artist we had with us this week had nothing but good things to say about my sculpture. She didn't even have any suggestions for improvements. Just praise. Which was really fun.)

I'm feeling all nice and relaxed now, and I have ballroom dancing later, and we're waltzing, so that should be fun.

So, thanks for the help this morning, and just to be clear that I'm not crazy whiny/complainy all the time, I had to let the record show that the rest of my day was really rather nice.

Oh! AND I finally talked to a professor from last semester, who I thought I was going to get an A from, but from whom I actually receive an A-, and he told me that that grade was a mistake, and he's going to change it. So I'll have a little boost in last semester's GPA. So that's really nice, too.
