Why are they reporting on poll numbers between potential candidates for president in 2008? Can't we get a little time off? Why does a television show featuring a woman president mean we have to assume Hillary and Condi will run against each other in 2008? Where is the remote that I need to turn off the television that tortures me so?
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well, I made it.
There was tons of traffic in Brooklyn, but once we got on the bridge, it was empty. It's eerie how well the HOV checkpoint thing is working.
(Though I do have to wondet how much easier this has been made by it being the week before Christmas -- I'm guessing there are many people who just started their holidays early.)
I had no internet when I left the house this morning. TWC said there was a service issue in my area. Hopefully that'll be taken care of by the time I get home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
We have a stove! And it works.
Yay Nilly!
I love that there is a transit beat reporter. His show is my favorite on NY1.
I always forget to watch it, but I might be programming it into my DVR now.
At least I don't have to be anywhere today, but man oh man! I'm seriously contemplating getting on a bus to Boston Wednesday night after my final, to reduce my number of trips back and forth to Manhattan. Also to get there ASAP, as my grandmother is in the hospital, and it doesn't sound good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Great. I'm in trouble with my webhosting support because my code or my popularity (provocateuse, natch) is overloading apache.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
So I've had the check-in call and have been on-line via 3 methods for 3 hours. Not one work thing has come through. It is gonna be a slow day.
ITMT, I am catching up on nip/tuck and wow do they bring the ew.
I need to be careful that I do not just sit here and waste the day. It is a prime opportunity to get things done around the house.

That sucks. (to ita.)
Today is the floor's holiday party, for which I didn't bring anything and didn't rsvp. Except, it takes over the floor. Someone is making a crockpot full of velveeta and canned beef chili right outside my door. I'm a strange combination of repulsed and really really hungry.

Nobody's in the office today except for my department. We are GIANT DORKS.

Holy shit, that sounds awesome. I love Velveeta.
Ugh, ita. You're a victim of your own success!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. There is construction at the Red Line station in Evanston (new condo going up across the street). So the bus I was in got stuck against a flatbed semi that was unloading construction supplies. The truck pulled forward and I could feel the bus shake as the two scraped against each other. It looked like the bus would stay there for a while while everyone filled out paperwork, so I walked to work from the station instead.
On the bright side, I got my xmas bonus today.
