Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Yeah! The 24 Season Premiere is being processed at Netflix as I write. Thanks for the link Sumi--what timing! With any luck, I'll be able to catch up before the next episode.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also: what the fuck? I've never heard of this silly clock.

You're too young. It was a bigger deal in the 80s, when the Russkis were about to blow us all up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Also: what the fuck? I've never heard of this silly clock.

OMG I feel old.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dammit, our Academic Decathlon topic was the '80s. I don't think that was in the curriculum.

OMG I feel old.

I sometimes have that effect on people.

What is even happening?

The clock came about in the 1950s, though.

Yeah, and it was moved after 9/11. But I didn't hear about it. Maybe because I wasn't on b.org at the time, and b.org is where I get all my cool news.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Work a campaign...that will kill any phone fear you ever had(except for the scary ones looking for the money I owe them) Sometimes I feel tempted to say "You know, I don't know where that money is either...do you wanna buy a book? I've written two." Or sometimes I want to freak them out and be all friendly "Hey, I thought it was you!" But my luck would be there's a law against messing with debt collectors.

Art Crawl!!!

P-C, seriously? You've never heard of the Doomsday Clock?

(Crazy, post-Cold War kids.)

Dammit, our Academic Decathlon topic was the '80s. I don't think that was in the curriculum.

OMG now I feel really old.

The clock came about in the 1950s, though.

I am not old enough to remember when it came out, but I am definitely old enough to remember when it was like 11:59:45 or some shit during the Reagan era. Not that it's a digital clock.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

They didn't set it ahead in October 2004 when the Red Sox won?
