Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

...OK, am I the only one wondering HOW you did that??

Sigh. I don't use my car very often. I've found that in cold weather, if I don't run it periodically, the battery dies. The last time I needed a jump, the AAA guy told me I should run it for an hour every day. I think that's ridiculous, but I do try to run it for an hour a couple times a week. Which is what I did as soon as i got home from work yesterday. Except then I forgot all about it until I was in the shower this morning.

...and how your car didn't get STOLEN?

I lock the doors before I go upstairs (I have two sets of keys).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Okay, people, I need you to convince me that the fact that my work day is somehow simultaneously slow and stressful is not a reason to buy an iPhone today. Or, for that matter, that it is.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Amych, if you buy an iPhone today, you won't have any excuse to think about buying a Palm Pre in June.

Ordered the damned phone. Am sheep. Will be back in a coupla days to nag everyone about what stuff I need to get.

(Jess, you may be interested to know that the Pre looked cool enough to make me look hard in spite of having really disliked multiple past Palm experiences. But I digress. You, as a Palm-lover, should totally wait until June, and I will gnash my teeth at your copy-and-pasting prowess then. And I'll still hate teeny-tiny physical keyboards.)
