"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Speaking of Comedy Central news parody shows, TDS was on fire tonight!! As Jon pointed out, the Cheney shooting was a gift from heaven for the writers--I didn't stop laughing until the commercial break.

Oh it so was. It was almost too easy - like shooting a Texas m(b?)illionaire in a barrel.

However, I'm not sure what's up with Comedy Central's re-run schedule. The shows at 8 and 8:30 were Weds'., not Thursday's. I didn't need to see Corddry host again, but I really wanted to tape Colbert from Thursday.

May you have either have quick release because they have too many jurors or a one day funny civil case. Go out and administer justice dude.

Seconded!

In my last jury pool, the guy sitting next to me leaned over and whispered, "I believe in the violent overthrow of the government."

I suggested he mention that right away. He was out of the judge's box in 3 seconds flat...but one of the guards followed him out of the courtroom...

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

Happy Ferris Wheel Day!

I accidentally wore red today - I try not to do that on Valentine's Day.

Ann, that's a ferret.

From Aimee's link on anarchist lawyers:

In fact, your specific job will be the preparation of frivolous lawsuits for use against the nazis at the RIAA

OK, lawyers. Show of hands. How many others read that sentence and immediately thought, "Rule 11"?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh. valentine's day. I forgot too, and am wearing red trousers.

With black! Lots of black! Nothing heart-shaped!!

My valentine's day present to the world is a really big Dunkies coffee for me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH brought me home two dozen roses on Sunday. One dozen for each kid.

I have to remember to wish my friend happy birthday today.

It's one of the few birthdays outside my family that I do consistently remember.

Cash -- that is so sweet.

My friend T. loves Valentine's Day -- it's always been the most important holiday for her. She sent me (or . .. her family did) a lovely Valentine's Day package that arrived yesterday.

Yay Cash's DH. Sentiment, on any day, makes me smile. (or cry, in the case of Kodak commercials)

Hey, didja know there are inspirational quotes on Starbucks cups?
I didn't.

So, imagine my surprise as I'm slugging my chai...one of roughly 250 Starbucks cups I've ever held...musing about the 'commitment' I'm feeling toward Fella (which he's reciprocating...a lot)...

But because we are so new we are being all nose-bumpy awkward with terms like 'strong feelings' as opposed to 'love'. Then I notice writing on the cup.

Here is what it says:

"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating--in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life." Anne Morris

Absolutely perfect.

Plus it is #76 in a series of at least that many quotes. What are the chances that I'd just happen to get the quote I most needed today?

I love it when the Universe speaks!
