I just emailed in sick/working from home for tomorrow. I actually do need to work from home, as there is quite a lot of work to be done. But I'm totally watching Without A Trace tonight -- staying up past my bed time!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Art Crawl!!!
Brenda - I agree. Now I'm thinking that it's not that I dislike Sarah AND Peter -- I just dislike Peter. I liked what Sarah sai in her confessional.

Yeah, me too. I also appreciated what she said about sometimes she cries, but she just keeps going, so STFU. It sounded like when people ask me if I'm upset, which, of course, makes me upset!
Also, in general, I swear to god, I don't know how people don't throttle their team members when they are yelling at them about what they should be doing in a road block. (Road block is the one that only one team member may perform, right?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tana told me I wanted a Bedazzler.
I don't know who Tana is, but she seemed very serious.

Brenda, you might be right. I wasn't always looking at the screen so I could have been confusing the really disfunctional couple's fighting with one-leg's reactions.

I love the sound of the word "plavix."

quester, it might be related to what was pissing me off about him so much - he was certainly talking to her like she was having a meltdown (and using lots of lovely therapy speech to do so) and it seemed like she was almost buying it herself. The other couple was pretty awful, too, though. I am kind of loving the coal miner couple, way more than I expected to at first.

Via Boing-Boing an interesting (I'm not saying valid, but interesting) tip for checking your luggage while forcing the airlines to take extra-care not to lose it [link] :
A "weapons" is defined as a rifle, shotgun, pistol, airgun, and STARTER PISTOL. Yes, starter pistols - those little guns that fire blanks at track and swim meets - are considered weapons...and do NOT have to be registered in any state in the United States.
I have a starter pistol for all my cases. All I have to do upon check-in is tell the airline ticket agent that I have a weapon to declare...I'm given a little card to sign, the card is put in the case, the case is given to a TSA official who takes my key and locks the case, and gives my key back to me.
That's the procedure. The case is extra-tracked...TSA does not want to lose a weapons case. This reduces the chance of the case being lost to virtually zero.
It's a great way to travel with camera gear...I've been doing this since Dec 2001 and have had no problems whatsoever.
