And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jessica, was that national, or was it the local affiliate?

Must have been local if you didn't get it in DC. (It's hard to tell in NYC, because the national CBS news broadcasts from here, too.)

we got a promo for Gus talking about the race on our local news instead.

Was it live, or taped? Because he was at the party, too. He seemed nice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They changed the name of New Glarus?

Huh. Someone else knows about New Glarus....

Up with the sun

Was it live, or taped?

It looked taped to me. Glad to hear he was nice -- he seems like a good dad, if not a great racer.

Ok, so there is this object in nature that looks remarkably like a hand flipping the bird (this was a cause of concern when the image went public. There were irate people. It was funny)

I'm reading this scholarly article on the structure, and what do they refer to it as? "The Finger."

The authors are either 12 like me of really really clueless.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I just spent a ridiculous amount of time on the phone with the cable company. So annoying. At least everything's taken care of now -- worst case scenario, I've now paid twice.

Now I need lunch.

I can't find a font. Not only a font, but the most important font of the bunch, and the brilliant minds who worked on this project didn't bother to put any fonts in the font folder.

If the brilliant people who worked on this project do not disclose the location of said font in response to my e-mail query, I may be forced to KEEL THEM DEAD WITH MY BRAIN.
