Oh, Dirty Jobs! I haven't actually seen a whole episode yet, but I caught a bit one night in a hotel where they showed the Bat Guano episode, where he got his boot caught. Yikes!

I'm still at work! Why, why! Argh!

I'm still here because I'm rewriting this entire report because nobody read my mind did precisely what I needed them to, so now I have to go fix it all. Argh!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

AND (shout-out to Betsy), it irks me every time they call Harriet "Lady Wimsey" in this Busman's Honeymoon movie -- she's Lady Peter!

My brother is going to be fostering a dog! He picks it up tomorrow, it is a 3 year old chow. FUN!

HEY! I thought we were sending him Kuma? Especially since Kuma is so fashion forward.

Lady Peter, exactly.

I love my half-chow but I don't think I'd ever get another one; they're just a little too dog-aggressive and one-person-fixated.

Asian dogs require special kinds of people, 'Suela, or so people tell me. So it's a good thing your part-Chow got someone who can be great.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Heath mysteriously regressed about 15 years when visiting Mr. and Mrs. Twist.

::sniffle:: Mrs. Twist. That was the only part of the movie that made me teary. Something about her demeanor with Ennis, I don't know.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is it too early to go to bed?

If I only had a brain...

Jesse, where did you find that movie? I've been wanting to experience its horror for *years*. I even had "Haunted Honeymoon" on my TiVo wishlist until I got tired of deleting the Gilda Radner version.

Two employers ago I had a kind, eco-friendly, outdoorsly employer. They gave me lots and lots of sports-oriented clothes suited for the Pacific Northwest. I didn't wear them.

Now I work for a kind, eco-friendly, outdoorsly employer who is bussing me up to Tahoe for one day. I shall be wearing all the ski clothes my kindly ex-employer gave me, complete with logos that none but me remembers. I think of it as a little "memento mori".

You can't go to bed when I'm still at work! Not fair!

Well, my part-chow is the other part lab, so happily he mostly thinks he's a lab except when it comes to chasing cats and being a bit dog-aggressive at the park. Works out fine for me. And he's so not one-person-fixated that he runs off regularly, and never notices I'm the one who feeds him.
