Yo, vw, you are not the boss of me. Or, ummmmmmmm, respect your elders. Or something.

I have a world of gronk and I did it to myself. Blerg.

Work is eatting me from the bottom.

Personally, I have a terrible time trying to name pets.

Me too, Cass. I come up with the best names, but it's cheating because they're all stolen from other people's pets. I've been so impressed with Buffistas' pets' names. I swear that Kittenish and Puppycat would work perfectly for mine. The one that would be Kittenish would also make a good Bastet and her actual name, Freya, works well for her. She is such a catlike cat.

I cry that they were already named when I got them, though, and really too old to change their names, because the one that would be Puppycat is Rocky. This name is perhaps appropriate but is no where near as fun as Puppycat. I must admit, I occasionally whisper Puppycat to him, telling myself that I'm using it as an endearment rather than a name, so it's ok.

It would have worked better for me in marathon. This should be the only way I watch shows. This one bit a week with the occasional month long break doesn't work for me anymore.

Wrod. There are several shows that I was meh about when aired, that I adore on DVD. This includes Firefly, but I blame the out of order thing for that one. I love it with such a pure, true love that I can't imagine that I wouldn't have loved it still, were it shown in order. I do see that this type of watching isn't best for all shows. I've noticed that some rely on that break for pacing and appropriate tension. For example, I liked B5, but I think I would have appreciated it more had I watched it one ep per week. Not that I could wait that long for the next ep when I had it on DVD. I have the self control of a two year old.

Oooooo! Cindy! I've been meaning to tell you. We're gonna be up in your neck of the woods (I think) tomorrow! We're going to this: >[link] What a fun way to celebrate your birthday! I haven't seen any serious shows there, since I saw Romeo and Juliet, when I was in high school, you know, back when the author was still alive. I have been chaperone for school fieldtrips there, for the past couple of years, for Julia and Chris's class (Children's plays: Miss Nelson is Missing and Lily's Purple Plastic Purse). They put on a great show. It's theatre-in-the-round, and very intimate. I think you'll have a great time.

I'm probably about halfway between you and it. Wave, when you're on the highway!

Oh! So you can boss me, but I can't boss you! I see how you are.

Will do! I'm very excited. My little brother is flying into town early so he can go with. He's being very sweet and cute. Then, this weekend is our big family vacation in the White Mountains in NH. So, once I can get all this packing done, things will be very nice.

Yep, cause I'm ornery like that. And, ummm, it all rolls down hill.

I have 20 minutes left at work and my brain has 100% shut down. I am debating over futzing around for 20 minutes and just plain leaving early. I came in late, so it seems appropriate.

Is anyone patrolling Lay's grave—you know, just to make sure he didn't rise?

Power-grid operators said demand for electricity was surging in other nearby states as well because of the hot weather. Electricity is shared across the West, so California's ability to import power on short notice during a widespread heat wave is limited.

The Stage Two emergency declaration was the first to be called in Northern California in at least four years. The emergency is an indication that reserve levels, which are supposed to be at least 7 percent of capacity, have dipped below 5 percent.

If the state still isn't able to save enough power, the next step will be rolling blackouts. Officials said such blackouts, which are imposed once reserves dip below 3 percent, could be called between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. today. Rolling blackouts are a way to prevent an uncontrolled crash of the power grid.

just shareing with the class...

(Aiming extra "Die-you-bastard, die-ma upon the Great State of Texas...followed by Maxwell's Silver-Hammer-ma just in case. To you know "make sure he was dead", right?)

tmi-whitefont: I seem to be following the trend of early Bitch periods this month. At least I know why I have felt so lousy the last couple of days.
