Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Pat Kiernan is hilarious.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AILLEANN!! (Oops, did I do that wrong?)

brenda, what he was saying is that he and Goldie agreed that they would have gotten married if the kids had wanted them to.

In annoying school news, my professor who was supposed to get us stuff "by Monday" is now saying it will be tomorrow. Wednesday. ISTG. AND we have to pick up the hard copy at school. ARGH.

Edit again: This guy on the show just asked Ellen Degeneres who her favorite "Hollywood hunk" is, and she said Rock Hudson. Hee.

House Republican leaders are ready to move forward on tax breaks worth $70 billion over five years to investors and some middle-income families now that they've sorted out a disagreement among themselves.

Because during an expensive war and huge deficits the important thing is to extend the tax cuts on capital gains. OTOH, I do think the alternative minimum tax should be adjusted. However, you can't just keep cutting taxes and spending like crazy. Where did all the fiscally responsible Republicans go?

Now look Jesse, you've spoiled everyone!

Burn cream is smelly, but friendly. My hand isn't even red now!

Mmmmm. Sink full o' dishes, counter full o' crumbs, and the usual round of giant nasty-ass horse pillsprenatal vitamins and iron supplements and omega-3 fatty acids to swallow. I just can't decide what to do first!

I'd go with dishes and counter first in case the pills make you queasy.

Dana! I figured it out (thanks to TWOP) it's Melora Hardin who plays Jan Levinson-Gould on the Office!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ah! Thanks, lisah.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Ailleann, Happy Birthday!!!!!!

OK, I just sent my thank-you notes for yesterday, and the lowest-level person (counterpart to the job I was interviewing for) wrote right back, saying she was glad I'm interested in the job. That's good, right?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I agree with the whitefonters, Ailleann.
