We were talking about Cry-Baby in the Movies thread, because the possibility of Johnny Depp playing (and singing) the title role in a Sweeney Todd movie came up.

Happy Anniversary Megan and Mr. Megan!
anniversary was good, especially since Edmonton won.
Today is rainy and gross so I'm going to be a skipper and not got to my morning meeting!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My new job has their shit together more than any place I've ever worked -- I got paid today via direct deposit. I started last Monday!

Cool beans, Jesse. Which reminds me, I think today is a payday for me....

It's especially exciting since I basically ran out of money on Monday, and there's still one more bill that needs to be paid.

I am very wet from the knees down. I wonder if my shoes will be dry enought to wear home.

Hmmm... given the weather report, I'd better wear my trail runners and not the open toed shoes today.
You know, when I remember that there's street-sweeping today, and move my car well in advance of the metermaid, I find myself saying "Take that, The Man!"
(In defense of Somerville's streetsweeping, you at least do actually see the actual streetsweeping machines running up and down the streets very busily indeed. So it isn't only a scam to get fines for parking.)

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

At least in my neighborhood, street sweeping is the same days each month. (Most of Chicago that's not so.)
When I was in Minneapolis, they had "snow emergencies." Also, about once a year they'd sweep for leaves, leading me to refer to that as a "leaf emergency." So to this day I think of street sweeping as leaf emergencies....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
When I was in Minneapolis, they had "snow emergencies."
We get those in MA in a lot of different towns (in fact, part of my lease is that I can park my car - when I have one - in the driveway when there's a snow emergency signaled by flashing blue lights on some light poles around town).
