I hate vending machines with erratic stock. And the ones that have two products in one queue (because the product I want is inevitably the one behind something so disgusting I can't contemplate working my way through the line).

In other words, I have Coke, but I really wanted ginger ale.

And it's not until I'm done the Coke I remember my doctor's admonition to not wash triptans down with caffeinated drinks. I wish she'd said why. I remember things much better if there's a why.

Still want to go home. Will not go to krav, I promise. Just let me go home.

ETA, Cindy, I totally get you. I startled the dog screaming "liar!" at the tv this morning.

Heh. I first thought you "started" the dog screaming "liar!"--which would have been a pretty neat trick, particularly if he screamed it at the right people.

The first time I watched it, I was all, "WAG THE DOG WAG THE DOG WAG THE DOG WHAT ABOUT WAG THE DOG? ASSHATS!" I had to get a grip.

YAY BABY!! Welcome, Matilda!!

I've only got one premiere left that I'm really looking forward to, Ugly Betty.

I saw the pilot of this and it was adorable. Don't know how it compares to the original, but it was damn cute.

I still like Studio 60, and I'm afraid to like anything else new. No time!!

My whole day was an enormous ridiculous waste of fucking time. It was pleasant, but I really could have stood to be AT WORK.

If all you've been seeing this last week are the clips from Clinton's appearance on Fox news, this post has the complete text of his response to Wallace. I gotta say, he comes off much better when you see all of what he had to say, rather than just the clips of him bitching Wallace out at the end. He does respond to the content of the question. Which makes me so angry, because all I've seen or heard from the news, even NPR, was snippets of the part of the response where he yelled at Wallace about Fox's partisanship.

Yes, I don't trust the broadcast media much anymore. Why is it more important that the man got angry than what he said in response to the question?

John Stewart did a bit on that last night or the night before, Consuela, showing angry Clinton versus informative Clinton.

It can be spun in 60 seconds, devoid of content? I'm always amazed that talk radio of the incoherent screaming variety does so well. But I'm averse to that sort of um, dialogue? Monologue?

I just nearly popped off my second nail today. I may start wearing oven mitts until I have a chance to do a new set.

Now have to run back out and retrieve the cat. And then I can come back home and become one with the couch.

John Stewart did a bit on that last night

Yeah, I saw it, but even on Stewart, you don't get the whole response, which is meaty and informative.

The other thing on TDS last night that made my eyes pop out was the college freshman suing his high school for having too many female teachers and not giving credit for sports, so he was forced to attend his second-choice college. Boo fucking hoo. I can't believe a kid stupid enough to file such a suit and then talk about it on The Daily Show is smart enough to get into college at all!

That kid's daddy is a lawyer. Big surprise.

My favorite part about that segment was the chat with the group of students who don't have that kid's advantages in life (i.e., they're all inner-city students of color). Their comment about how they'd like more teachers of any gender was spot on.

Their comment about how they'd like more teachers of any gender was spot on.

Oh, indeed.

What, the kid's teachers got their feminist cooties on him and now he'll never be accepted by the Skull and Bones for their fast-track to short-bus political office? My heart bleeds.
