It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, can I say? Studio 60 was not as cringeworthy last night, since the drama was about producing the show, not making with the funny.
Problems still remaining: D.L. Hughley is not funny, and pretty much anyone on SNL could have made that apology funny off the cuff and Harry is still a Sorkin-style boy-crazy ninny with no self esteem or direction.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
We humans taste really good. Like chicken - or bacon. Both of which are really nummy. Trust me. Come and get it! Our people have a saying: "Human - it's what's for dinner."
Our most prized dishes feature George W. Bush and Karl Rove, with a side of Donald Rumsfeld (he's too stringy for a main course).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did not watch Studio 60 last night, due to the whole sleep thing.
I did watch Heroes, and am embarassed to say that it put a bit from the song "Heroes" in my head, where it remains to this day. The embarassing part is that it is Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor singing it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Is anyone watching the new Doctor Who? I am a big David Tennant fan and am enjoying it very much.

Due to buff diving, I am earwormed with "We all sleep in a single subroutine" (to the Beatles, natch.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Pretty new VW convertible. It has a hardtop (that folds up).
$30,620 nicely equipped.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
We are watching Doctor Who - and I like david Tennet a lot. in terms of regeneration, his happioer , more connected personality makes sense. and he can spin on a dime
ita , David said what I was going to say - just hang on to all those records - they can do audits at least 4 or 5 years after the fact. Plus COBRA - do what ever it takes to keep it. as long as you are coverd new insurence can't call pre -exsisting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Note to self: COBRA not CORBA
Robin, Tennant's no Eccleston, but he's still a lot of fun. There's some discussion of it in Boxed Set, but it's disjointed since some people watched it while it was airing in Britain, and others are watching it now.
Got emails back from the two co-workers worth keeping talking to. One was diplomatically friendly (he's a big cheese now), and the other...turns out they shut of his network access at 2pm, just like the rest of ours. But he didn't even work for a group being trimmed. In fact, he'd transferred out a week or two ago into a better job in a new department. He just fell through the cracks.
He's reinstated and stuff, but man, what a freakout!
Okay, awake, but with migraine. I have to commit to to-dos for today, so it doesn't slide out of my control.
