Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"If you're walking around with a steaming hot coffee on the 5 or the 4 train at 8:30 a.m., I would hope to hell the cop would give you a summons because you have no right to do that. It's not right and it's not courteous to your fellow passengers," said MTA Chairman Peter Kalikow.

Has Peter Kalikow never bought coffee to go? Is he unaware of the plastic lids?

Oh, and I think Word just has stuff that they always want you to check -- depending on the usage, you might want "well being" or "well-being." (Or "Well, being....")

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

No need to apologize.

Well, I was more apologizing (to all) for the bad joke.

Also, thanks JenP and everyone else.

In the last day or two, it hasn't gotten any worse. Also, to some extent I've gotten used to it. Before I was constantly blinking, because the blurriness kept on making me think I had something in my eye. (For a while I felt like things would be easier if I wore an eye patch.) Still seems to be a limit on how long I can stare at a computer screen, however.

Ach, Tom, that sounds rough.

Still, eye patch? Pirate! I vote yes.

Hee!

My cat likes to perch on my shoulder as I walk about. He'd make a good parrot stand-in.

A Note to Mark Burnett:

There are two things that, after what, eight, nine episodes? I'm starting to get REALLY EFFING SICK OF.

1.) The sappy, overly dramatic music at the start of challenges.

2.) One team utterly dominating the other one. JUST FUCKING ONCE, I'd like to see both teams evenly matched.

Please see to that as soon as possible. kthxbye

Alias:

Newsflash: I still adore SpyDaddy, and he's not even doing anything particularly special at the moment.

Also, I don't buy for a second that Vaughn is dead; I kind of assume I'm not really supposed to .

Hubby, the former wild fire fighter, has been watching the news of the fires (hopefully this won't cause flashback nightmares). He fought fires in the exact area thirty years ago, and the standard orders then were "We'll fight it at the highway. If it jumps the eight-lane, we'll fight it at the beach. If it jumps the Pacific, well, we're just screwed."

also, he says the longest spot fire on record is 120 miles. A burning branch got blown out to sea and landed on a ship, setting the sails on fire, which made it count as part of the damage from the fire in the hills.

Our wings are not tired.

Sigh I wasn't home for Alias and I didn't record it. So don't know when I'll get to see it. Yes, I read all the white font. Spoilage on Alias matters not.
