If I only had a brain...

Right. Kick out a check and it's gone.

Our wings are not tired.

Those colors not so big in Florida. Where are the limes and melons?

Trust my rage

FWIW, I was just reading the NYTimes to see if I had missed something. The scenerio they described sounded limited to judicial nominees only, and maybe just one at a time. I'm not sure it matters in the end, but it didn't sound like the "rules change" that I heard descrobed on NPR last week.

Frist has promised that he won't apply the same strategy to other Senate filibusters in this term. The question of what happens in another term, or when there's another Senate majority leader, remains unresolved.

Seriously. This is a big, important change. It is a change that effectively means that the majority party can appoint anybody they like, to any office, and that the "advice and consent" of the Senate is a rubberstamp.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Kat's kinda cool. Now, if I can only find paper in Gloxinia and Ruby Wine (which would of course require silver ink, and is perhaps then too much).

I just had two developer conversations. One involved assuring the developer that he was going be part of the requirements determination, not just the vessel into which we poured them. I had to make hugging and inclusive hand gestures.

The second ended with Vanna hand gestures ... "Right? Fast? Safe? Me! Okay!"

I should go home.

I'm not sure if this was in response to me, but I couldn't agree more. (i'm posting interspersed with studying, so my mind may not be all here. Or all there, which is bad.) My only point was that part of the confusion on what is happening may be resulting from the fact that what they are doing (or proposing to do) seems to be changing as well.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

not surprisingly, I was coming in to post that I have a die cut machine. But Jesse beat me toit

Ooooooh. Would a die cut machine be capable of a bat? If so, where do I get my paws on a die cut machine? Pink notecards with a bat cut out of them are something I need. NEED, I tell you!

Now, if I can only find paper in Gloxinia and Ruby Wine (which would of course require silver ink, and is perhaps then too much).

Silver ink is too much? Oh dear.

When I'm neither goth nor girly? Yes, quite. Okay, I have silver pens (I'm not dead, after all), but it's way too much for me to be writing entire notes in it. Labels and addressing only.

Bah. Silver like shiny metal sharp things! It doesn't *always* mean goth or girly (or girlygoth).

Yeah, but the most lethal injury is still a paper cut, and that happens no matter what colour the ink.
