All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Still at work.
Why still at work? Because tonight is, as I'm sure you may have noticed, The Big Game.
Which means that not one of my students was willing to take the 5-hour video shoot assignment that nobody noticed back before the semester began was being scheduled for the night of the big game. Hell, half of them didn't make it to their regular shifts.
So I'm here until 7. Unless I'm here until 9. Because there's this one group that signed up for the 8:30-9:00 slot thinking they were signing up for tomorrow. And dollars to donuts they aren't gonna respond to my email asking them to pleasepleaseplease let me know if they aren't going to make it because I'd like to go home if they don't.
(Normally, I'd go home in the middle of the day if I had to do one of these evening dealies. Which would be fine. But today? No students to cover the lab, plus exams running all day. Also, there have been news helicopters overhead every 5 minutes all day, which is even stupider than the news trucks parked everywhere.)
(And I wouldn't mind seeing said game myself.)

Up with the sun
A friend of mine just named her daughter "Lorelei" a couple of years ago. I didn't think it was that uncommon.
Does the tool combiine spellings? I ask because Lorelei is one of those names a lot of people can't spell (like Jonathan/Johnathan/Jonathon), so you might want to look for Lorelai and Loralie as well.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ordinarily I'm a skipper, but I found the weird twin discussion too fascinating.
Also? My throat hurts! I'm tired! I want to be whiny!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor Burrell. I think you should whine away. (Though there will be Bonus Points if you can work in pizza, cheese, hair, or cats)

I'm sorry you're not feeling well, Burrell.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
The Jeff Gannon thing is blowing my mind.

Yeah? Details.

From the Boston Globe:
"Called on last week by President Bush at a press conference, Gannon attacked Democratic Senate leaders and called them "divorced from reality." During the presidential campaign, when called on by Press Secretary Scott McClellan, Gannon linked Senator John F. Kerry, Democrat of Massachusetts, to Jane Fonda and questioned why anyone would dispute Bush's National Guard service."
But the White House Press Correspondent doesn't actually exist. The blogosphere did an exhaustive search and found that Jeff Gannon of the "Talon News" (funded by a GOP org) apparently was willed into being just a few years ago. Prior to his shady journalism credentials, he ran a military fetish gay porn site.
