why is Audrey Hepburn dancing to "Back in Black" on my teevee.

wrod. I can't even watch it.

Olbermann.

It's awfully hard to pick only a section to quote, but I'll go with this.

The only positive on 9/11 and the days and weeks that so slowly and painfully followed it was the unanimous humanity, here, and throughout the country. The government, the President in particular, was given every possible measure of support.

Those who did not belong to his party -- tabled that.

Those who doubted the mechanics of his election -- ignored that.

Those who wondered of his qualifications -- forgot that.

History teaches us that nearly unanimous support of a government cannot be taken away from that government by its critics. It can only be squandered by those who use it not to heal a nation's wounds, but to take political advantage.

Terrorists did not come and steal our newly-regained sense of being American first, and political, fiftieth. Nor did the Democrats. Nor did the media. Nor did the people.

The President -- and those around him -- did that.

I skipped. I'm a skipper.

I just wanted to get in some Birthday Happies for Trudy.

Way upthread where I stopped reading there was discussion about liquor laws and stores and such that made me think of this place in my college town.

I finally got a wireless card. With any luck I'll be able to sneak a little online time during rehearsal.

Prison Break: Abruzzi!!!!! I am sad. He was like my second-favorite character, and he's as dead as Michael Vaughn.

Craig Ferguson is doing a 9/11 show. The monologue was pretty good.

Love Keith Olbermann. I always wonder if Sports Night future-fic ever lets Casey become what Olbermann is.

Shrift did it! Does she have a job? I think so.

Not job yet, unfortunately. And I'd really like someone to hire me for a decent wage so I can stop writing cover letters.

Aimée, that is plenty cute!

Poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Polter-Cow's birthday. Happy birthday, P-C! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

It's also Herah's birthday. I haven't seen posts from her in forever, but I hope the well-wishes find their way to her, somehow.

Good morning! After loads of rain yesterday, we've gotten a pretty autumn day for our troubles. It's a bit cloudy, but there's a brilliant blue sky behind all of that. Here's hoping it stays.

I keep losing things here, more than I ever have before in my life. Right now, I can't find one of my favorite pairs of earrings, and though I know it must be somewhere in the apartment. I can't find my phone charger, which is the third phone charger I've had, though this one was with an Irish-style socket. If I have to buy another one, it will be the fourth one, meaning I've put enough money into the stupid phone to negate the fact that it was free back in March. I can't find my ISIC card, which I think means I've left it in the states, and therefore have no idea where it is in the mess of my packed away things. I've left my phone at home today, which sucks because I can't take a break to text message people. I'm beginning to think I've developed Alzheimer's for disgruntled twentysomethings.
