Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ergh. have given up on uploading pics once I realized that it will take yonks & will tie up my computer. grrr. the problem with having a sys admin for a husband is that the computers at home are never actually fixed. instead he always goes for the quick hack, and then it's only later that I realize he's hobbled my computer.

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

Oh gawd. Blagojevich admits cluelessness about 'Daily Show'

ST. LOUIS -- Gov. Rod Blagojevich wasn't in on the joke.

Blagojevich says he didn't realize "The Daily Show'' was a comedy spoof of the news when he sat down for an interview that ended up poking fun at the sometimes-confused Democratic governor.

"It was going to be an interview on contraceptives ... that's all I knew about it,'' Blagojevich laughingly told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in a story for Thursday's editions. "I had no idea I was going to be asked if I was 'the gay governor.'''

The interview focused on his executive order requiring pharmacies to fill prescriptions for emergency birth control. Interviewer Jason Jones pretended to stumble over Blagojevich's name before calling him "Governor Smith.''

He urged Blagojevich to explain the contraception issue by playing the role of "a hot 17-year-old'' and later asked if he was "the gay governor.''

At one point in the interview, a startled Blagojevich looked to someone off camera and said, "Is he teasing me, or is that legit?''

The segment, which aired two weeks ago, also featured state Rep. Ron Stephens, a Greenville Republican and pharmacist who opposes the governor's rule. Stephens has said he knew the show was a comedy.

"I thought the governor was hip enough that he would have known that, too,'' Stephens said.

At least the anti-contraception right-wing Christian knew it was a joke....

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

We should probably make more plans other than "I'll be at the Marqueen Hotel starting late Friday night"
Perkins, what week is this?

I don't know. I like the people I work with. I love my 5 minute commute and being able to go home for lunch every day. And the CIO was making noise about how this is only the first stage of the department restructuring, and that additional positions may open up as the restructuring happens. So I might be able to get a promotion or change of position or something, but who knows when that will be. I'll probably start taking a pre-cursory glance around and see what else is out there, but unless something grabs me, I'm going to stick around at least until I see how permanent a change this is.
I hope all of this goes well, and easily for you, Kalshane. The pros you listed are pretty good ones too. So I understand the wanting to be able to wait and see if they have their heads in their fannies or not, as it could turn out very well for you. But also the looking a bit because something better could be right there waiting.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But I'm getting my apartment painted!

Right on!

I got spoiled for figure skating at lunch where two people were talking about it at the next table. Feh.

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

Perkins, what week is this?

The 3rd-5th.

ION, I just fell asleep. At my desk. At work.

Was that for the episode where the figure skater who everyone thought was dead showed up after two seasons, with her hair inexplicably white?

Silly woman, you're supposed to crawl under the desk when you want to nap.

Under the desk was too far away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Who on earth would do a TV interview without looking up the show? Not to mention, who's never heard of The Daily Show?? Lame.

I've fallen asleep over work, and not even sick. Not even at a desk -- just sitting in a chair.
