Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You don't FF through the ads, do you.

I do now.

I just had an awesome work moment, where my boss walked over to ask me to print something out, and it was already sitting in my printer, with the changes he was about to ask for. I think that's pretty much my accomplishment for the day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm getting the enchiladas from Burritoville today, which are, like, at least 50% cheese.

My sudden attack of "None. None more hostile." made me realize that my blood sugar could probably win a limbo contest. Stuffing food in my face now, feel the homicidal mania receding.

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

Mmm. Cheese.

I wonder if my cheese craving is related to my wiredness.

No, I don't suppose it makes any sense, but IT'S ALL ABOUT ME.

Wanna nap.

So...

FEMA is still fucking up in getting people housing

Officials in cities from Dallas to Atlanta, which are accommodating thousands of evacuees, give credit for getting 90 percent of the victims out of shelters. But they say they are frustrated by FEMA's record in helping place people in more adequate housing.

"Deplorable. Disappointing. Outrageous. That is how I feel about it," said the Atlanta mayor, Shirley Franklin, a Democrat, in a telephone interview on Wednesday. "The federal response has just been unacceptable. It is like talking to a brick wall."

Even conservative housing experts have criticized the Bush administration's handling of the temporary housing response. "I am baffled," said Ronald D. Utt, a former senior official at the Department of Housing and Urban Development and Reagan administration aide who is now a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative research organization. "This is not incompetence. This is willful. That is the only way I can explain it."

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

My lunch today will be whatever I can persuade my co-workers to order with me. I am ALL about the not going out in the cold rain if I can possibly avoid it.

My GOD, I'm sleepy. This is so silly

Me too. Gave myself plenty of time for a full night's sleep and still overslept by an hour. In fact, if it weren't vw coming in and telling me, I don't think I would have heard the alarm at all.

Hmm... burritos... I could go to Chipotle for lunch, instead of a salad. It's a total toss-up, though: A longer walk for warm food vs cold food right downstairs. Although they have soup downstairs... hmmmm t /stream of consciousness lunch

Chipotle has salads now! (I mean, it's basically a burrito bol with dressing, but they call it a salad. Oh, and I think it has lettuce instead of rice.)
