Happy Birthday, Kate!
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

I placed an order for carry out and hoofed it a couple of blocks in the cold to pick it up. I get back to my office, sit down, open up the styrofoam box, and discover...
No egg roll. It was supposed to come with an egg roll. Curses!
Screw you, Monday! I needed that egg roll more than you did!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Kate P.!!!!!

I do not control my heat, although there are cute little knobs on the radiators that taunt you with their seeming usefulness. It kicked on either Thurday or Friday. It is on a weird cycle that usually has me cold by bedtime, but waking up hot around 5am. I did not have a termometer last year, but do this year, so I can track actual temps. My hope is to adjust cute knobs to almost off positions and have only wee heat until more is needed.

Another day, another rejection. I'm down to two left to tell me no.
Allyson, my papers have been rejected hundreds of times. The same is true of the rocket scientists that you work with. You just have to believe in what you are doing and keep trying until the world catches up with you.
I've read your excerpts. Your work is fresh and funny and insightful. It will find a publisher.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Zombie flash mob hits Madison: [link]
At 2pm on Saturday, October 22, zombie fans will assemble in full costume to kick off Zombie Lurch 2005. Join us! We'll meet on the Capitol steps (Carroll/Mifflin side), shamble down State Street with stops for tasty brains and beverages, and end at the Union Terrace for even more beverages.
To add a particularly Madisonian touch, it's not just a Zombie Walk but a Zombie Protest. Fight for zombie rights by bringing a protest sign, sandwich board, or customized t-shirt. With slogans like Let Zombies Walk!, The undead are people too! Open your heart and mind to zombies, or even an eloquent ARGH, we'll raise public consciousness for the plight of our cannibalistic brothers and sisters. What do we want? BRAINS! When do we want it? BRAINS!
recap: [link]
The range of makeup, costumes, vocal groaning enthusiasm, and clever protest signs was awe-inspiring. There was no way I could stay in character in the face of People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies, Show Me Your Brains (complete with Mardi Gras beads), Brains 3:16, and Support Proposition I-8U. There were many more brilliant slogans: look through the photo galleries for examples.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
OMG Laura is getting mooned by a hurricane!!
In slightly more dignified news, happy birthday to Kate! Hurry and celebrate now, since the same rude hurricane seems headed directly for us, so that the mooning and cold rain may continue.
