I hate them. I throw them away rather than move them from place to place, often.

Yes, yes, yes. It is not worth it to keep hundreds of pennies!

Please feel free to send me any and all monies in the denominations that displease you. I love them all, and will provide a good home for all coins, bills, personal checks, business checks, bank checks, money orders, and promisory notes. Ta.

I am closer. Save on postage and send them to me.

24: I do like that, season by season, he loses more and more, and now he loses his identity (is he even going to tell his daughter?). It is a very satisfying narrative arc.

bon and I are spoilt rich kids.

The building I'm in has no ginger ale, so I'm reluctantly sipping Gatorade. My stomach is well messed up, and if it doesn't stop aching by lunch, ita's going home.

Right. Back to the exercise. Custom e-mail templates won't make themselves!

I don't know. I think there is an ongoing logic-problem nestled somewhere in the middle of Jack Bauer. Basically, every year he saves the world in martyrophilic fashion, but he gets to do it on his own terms. A true martyr would go willingly to his death, or to a Chinese prison, because that was what the country needed of him. (After all, isn't he the one who executed Wossname last year, for this very reason??) Part of giving-all-for-your-country is taking orders, you know? Jack is so bad at that, I think he should run for President, just so that he can be the one who gives orders, instead of taking them.

I am not working either. Tommy and I need to start a support group.

Custom e-mail templates won't make themselves!

They won't? Uh-oh.

I am not working either.

Me neither. I spent all my energy on the algebra kids today (and honestly, don't put graphing-calculator problems on the homework when you know the students don't own them; put them on a different worksheet and let them do those problems in class BEFORE taking on the homework).

I took a break from work to help my boss push two of his Morris Minors (old British cars that used to be very popular) into the building.

But before that I actually finished the work I was supposed to do, except for the testing.

OK, in case anyone can be made to feel better by laughing at stupid people hurting themselves: [link]

Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

OK, I suppose I shouldn't laugh if they are in critical condition... or is it OK to laugh at the stupid entirely separate from consideration of the severity of their injuries?
