ION, I don't know if any of you heard this on NPR today, but I thought it was a *really* cool idea, especially for political junkies or government students. Heard of fantasy football? Well this is Fantasy Congress. Build your own teams of senators and representatives! Get points for their successful legislation! Design snappy uniforms for them!
Too. Funny.

So, I plugged my iPod into my computer to charge up, since I can't find the wall charger. It asks if I want to update the iPod software -- fine, good. Then it says, "To finish updating, unplug iPod and plug it into the wall charger." Er...

Yep. Dr. Who reenthralled me. Time to sleep now.
Boing to bed!
Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is brenda m's birthday. Happy birthday, brenda! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
What with the bridge construction two doors down the street from my house, I'm kind of used to hearing construction equipment early in the morning, but today they're using an asphalt recycler to tear up the street itself. Good thing I woke up early ANYWAY.
Also, I'm hoping this means that they're very close to finishing the bridge!
