Good ideas. Both.

I shall go vacuum and then stand in a hot shower. If that helps, I will let the water reheat and then take a hot bath too. I miss breathing.

Though having little Kleenex packets from having bought them for DebetEsse? Goooooood thing.

Besides, the football is going away to tape something called Rebus with John Hannah on BBCA.

Too crazed to be much help with the thread termination.

Quick weather report. Cold Front! It's in the upper 50's now with promises of low 40's by morning! Very windy. 20-25 mph they say, but it was strong enough to make the soccer game earlier a challenge. They couldn't keep the ball from rolling without the ref holding it with his foot. It felt a whole lot stronger than the weather guy says.

Busy busy and the kids are asking about dinner, again. Geez, it's only 9pm, and it's a weekend. Not like they haven't been snacking all day.

B.Jr. had his 1st basketball game of this season. He just entered the 13-15 age group this year. He did well enough, but they lost.

Damn, I should have broke that up into several posts. I'll see if posting later is an option.

ABC's coverage of the U.S. National Figure Skating Championships sucks eggs. Seriously. They give fans of the sport absolutely no respect.

I remember those Kleenex. Those Kleenex were wonderful (I was is Joshua Tree. My sinuses hated me).

It got cold here, too. It's barely been jacket weather all week. Now, nsm.

It's been in the 50s here, but it is supposed to go down to the teens either tomorrow or Monday. I have tried to ignore all of it, but my family keeps telling me.

sarameg, I don't get seasick so much as I notice the motion in a boat. I get sick on small diveboats that smell like diesel though.

On our diveboat out of New Providence, I didn't get sick at all. Granted we went only 1/4 of a mile out.

Twas fun!

Well, that was exciting. Top of a pine just came down. Top third.

Kat, sounds like it. I notice the motion, but it is just fun. I love trains and having to stand on the subways for that reason. Safe surfing, or something.

Right now it seems my options are 1) Argue with housing until they agree to something reasonable 2) Don't mention the cats and hope for the best (not that I'd try to hide them, but I've had a cat there for the past 10 years. I doubt anyone would question it.) 3) Look for a different summer job. None of these options appeal to me at the moment

Aurelia, I'm a firm believer in "its easier to get forgiveness than permission." If you can be subtle with the kitties just take them without saying anything. You have your own quarters, the accounting folks from housing aren't likely to be hanging out there, nobody else would be looking at your bills...

le nubian, they need to stop these zoom shots of spinning tummies and asses! it shows us nothing!!!! And what's with the dark legs/light arms thing?

I just fixed my Tivo (it wasn't changing the channel) all by myself. Yay me.

Not to mention how they didn't show the entire men's skating event earlier because a basketball game went over. Have they heard about replaying the event on ESPN2?

And yes, their camera work sucketh. They padded the first 30-45 minutes of tonight's camera in egregious ways.

Man, Olympics coverage is really going to suck.
