I can't imagine how she feels not being able to be there for either, but still doing this really awesome thing for her.

Yeah, that must be so hard for all of you. At least she has the awesome thing, too.

Kat, I think that GA thing would be cool.

At least she has the awesome thing, too.

True. Though I think she may be a bit more sensitive than R and I. Like, she'll not only feel bad because she's not there, but she'll feel bad because we may miss her, and now she has this good thing, but she can't really get all excited about it, and then she'll feel bad for feeling sorry for herself. She's a really, really good person.

Anyone in or near Austin, on or around Christmas go see The prettiest Macy's elf evar! (Scroll to the bottom)

What's with Paul McCartney? Is there a reason why NONE of his music is in the iTunes store? Does he hate Steve Jobs or something?

I'm looking for Wonderful Christmastime and I can't find it there and am pissed. Anyone have it and is willing to get it to me somehow?

I'm pretty sure Mr. Jane has it somewhere, and if you don't get a better offer. I'll get it loaded up and send it to you.

Why on earth am I still up? Must remedy that ASAP.

DJ, you're a goddess. To compliment the boxing nun, you could also get the Buddy Jesus.

Eh. Only a priestess since he's out at dinner at the moment, and I won't have it until tomorrow since I'm assuming he walked to the Mexican place up the street and margaritas are involved.

I have to be on a conference call tomorrow. Don't wanna. Why? I'm the person who sets up the calls and the person they come to afterward to do whatever the call was about. They don't actually need me on the call. Also, I think I know what it's about, and for personal reasons- ugh.

Ohh. The coolest thing I did at work today? A Power Point presentation in the style of the Dallas opening credits.

Here's what you quoted, bon:

My personal ethics are in adopting the rules of the store/community/country when I cross over into it.

Here's what you didn't:

The line I have a hard time articulating is when it's worth breaking the rule, or trying to change it. Pretty much nothing in gambling is going to make me need to stick it to the man. I have no level of ownership in either a casino or gambling as a whole. Gets much shadier when it comes to countries and communities.

If that doesn't indicate off the bat that I haven't stated a hard and fast rule, but rather a guiding and imperfectly expressed principle, I got nothing else to use to illustrate it.

DJ -- I also never said I liked dress codes. I said I follow them if I want what's on the other end of them. Like a paycheck, or a meal, or a krav class.

I don't like spending money. But I do often like what I get when I spend it. And I don't steal.

I also have nothing against counting cards! I'm saying that counting cards is against the rules of the casinos that don't allow counting cards.

Y'all are reading more personal into the specifics than I'm stating.

Why did my fever have to come back? I really didn't miss it while it was gone.
