I'm worried that Sue is on her way to work...

I'm on my couch watching Supernatural that I taped last night. My boss just called to tell me that she is going to participate in a conference call we had scheduled. I'm not going to feel guilty for not participating too! (well, maybe a little...)

I'm sorry your day is stressful, msbelle. I hope it gets better.

{{{msbelle}}} I wish we could trade places. Sounds like you need an "on the couch day" more than I.

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

Yay for snowdays.

YAY! Party.

Oh megan, you should know me better than that!

I was actually doing yoga.

I wasn't really loving GG, until the last ten minutes, which were awesome!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, have done a couple of little tasks, which is good. Now to shower. If someone said to get something to her "by mid-day, if possible," 2pm should be OK, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well, a day has a beginning, a middle and an end. Assuming that each is 8 hours, then mid-day ends at 4pm. Plus the "if possible" adds a couple more hours of leeway....

I figure the "if possible," means, "I realize there's no way in hell you'll actually have this done by noon, but try not to get it to me a half-hour beforehand, OK??"

OK. Shower.

I can't believe that no Buffista has posted this great resource: The Daily Monkey

From Boing Boing:

It's all monkeys, all the time at Brian Biggs' Daily Monkey weblog. Brian is a talented illustrator who takes time away from his critically important drawing work to post a new monkey related photograph and quotation each day. For this, I am thankful.

And, crap! We just missed this:

National Gorilla Suit Day, which mysteriously falls on January 31 of each year, is perhaps the important holiday of the year. Every National Gorilla Suit Day, people of all shapes and colors around the world get their gorilla suits out of the closet, put them on and go door-to-door.

That's really all there is to it. You don't have to buy gifts. You don't have to fast, although some Orthodox Gorilla Suiters do. If you want to have a parade, fine. Just make sure all the marchers are wearing gorilla suits and that all the balloons are giant, inflatable gorillas.
