I could have opted for service calls on Tuesday afternoon or next Friday evening, but then I thought, dammit, I'll miss the Grey's Anatomy finale.
And I can't find my rabbit ears anywhere. I'm afraid I loaned them to someone and forgot, or threw them out.
I have a new TV and A/C.
That's very exciting!

Did you check on your head? (That only applies if you're a rabbit.)
I'm kinda surprised that most Americans approve of the government examining their phone records.
Americans by nearly a 2-1 ratio call the surveillance of telephone records an acceptable way for the federal government to investigate possible terrorist threats, expressing broad unconcern even if their own calling patterns are scrutinized.

The intensity of sentiment on this issue is in the administration's favor as well: Substantially more people, 41 percent, feel "strongly" that the program is acceptable than the number who feel strongly that it's unacceptable, 24 percent.

Nothing new here, have felt that way since November 04.

I was late because Mister Kitty has his checkup/curve today and they forgot to tell me to bring in insulin and theirs was ooky and they didn't have anyone to run and get some more, so I had to run to the pharmacy and get some more (faster than going back home) and run it back to them and wow, that was a lot for me to do before 10 am.

When you put together all the powers than the Bush Administration claims, it could label a peace group a terrorist organization, find out you have made phone calls to it, detain you with no court intervention indefinitly. Not saying this is happening, but all the pieces are there.
Anyone else still watching Survivor? I failed to set my VCR properly last night. Please to give a recap.
What should the online fans of Snakes on a Plane be called?
I like Motherfuckers.
If you look at the full survey results, there's a question about whether it is more important for the government to investigate possible threats or to respect personal privacy. In 2002, 18% said privacy was more important; now that's at 31%. So you should probably find those numbers heartening.
