Local news is doing a piece on this mobile pet rescue unit they've got here now - more lessons from Katrina - and the newscaster just came on with this little tiny dog wrapped practically head to toe in bandages. First comment: "don't worry, Sebastian's not injured - we're just playin'". Really adorkable.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Now it turns out it's his actual own dog, who's looking mightly confused. And is also a girl dog, but named Sebastian because when he first got her (stray) she marked like a male dog so he just assumed. Hee.
Lucy's a total marker, too. I had a somewhat chagrinned note from the dog walker yesterday that, if marking has any real-world validity, Lucy is now the proud owner of a shiny new Vespa that was parked on the sidewalk and which she claimed before the walker could stop her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Nicole!
I have to do staff evaluations this week. Crap. Can't I just say "you're awesome!" and leave it at that? Why do I need a stupid form?

Hi, Amy!
Oh, and because I didn't earlier: congrats, ND!
Hmm, what else can I exclamation-point today? They wouldn't let Jesse exclamation-point her staff evaluations, apparently. How grammar-ically biased of them!

Cause the captain likes dots, Jesse. (/ The Wire likes carrots.)A rebellious cop was once shoehorned on that show into a lot of paperwork by his boss who said "And put the dots(bullet points) in it. The commander likes the dots." So that is what I think of, filling out something useless.

That's really funny. I feel like that's half of being successful with written work (for school, for your job, for whatever) -- figuring out the little tricks that the person you're submitting to will like. I had a professor in college who liked long paragraphs, so I literally just smooshed paragraphs together after I had written my paper.
