I've been here since Monday, it's not jetlag, it's just insomnia. I was wiped out from all the long long days of work for two months before this trip and all I want to do is have this week be done so that I can go home and be with Kristin and sleep in my own bed.

Whoa-- superhero ita. That's cool.
I went all the way over to the East Bay for dinner tonight, and survived. Saw a movie too-- Stranger than Fiction, which was good and didn't make me hate Will Farrell.

OK, so my safeway card (I'm nominally neutral negative on shopper cards, but..I shop there regularly) says I get a 10cent/gallon discount on gas through the end of the month. But doesn't tell me how. Lame!
Sadly I qualify for this discount way more than I want to. (You get it only when spending $50 or more on groceries.) Just use your discount card - either by inserting into the same slot you insert your debit or credit card into or by handing it to the cashier and letting them slide it before you pay by any means (including cash).

Yes, on one of their stations. I intended to say that. Thanks for the correction.
And yay on Super Hero ita!

At least that is how Vons did it in California and they are the same company.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. Am reading the latest Vanity Fair. They predicted Rumsfeld's ouster weeks ago (the column was written maybe a week before the election?).
Rummy... is, let's face it, dead. He's gone at any moment.

ION, there's a penguin in Japan that likes to go shopping. No, really. He wears a little backpack, and he walks to the neighborhood fishmarket. They give him a fish to eat and put one in his little backpack. Then he goes home.
He's a pet - his family rescued him ten years ago and he refused to leave. [link]
eta: Should pro'lly mention this is a video.

Skipping lots and lots and poking hed to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Jessica's birthday. Happy birthday, Jessica! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year.
Also, yesterday, the 11th, was Penny B's birthday. I hadn't seen posts from her in forever, but I hope the belated well wishes find their way to her, somehow.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday Jessica!
It's pretty apparent that if you want me out, showing up and my house and taking me out is the way to do it. Actually, I'm really happy with today. Not only is there the baby-saving stuff (gravy), but I managed to teach, do lunch with friends, and then celebrate a birthday with other friends.
Oh, and win $20 on a stupid bet I was bound to win anyway. It's matters of lust. Don't argue with me.
Only problem with tonight is that one of the double-sided tape applications I deemed necessary seppukued during the evening. So, showing more cleavage than planned. At least the other two stayed faithful to the cause, or I'd have had to hide out in the parking lot.
Today is a win. Go team careful segregation of migraines!
Today, last night, whatever.
