Oh, the mysterious device was an LED of one of the Mooninites. He's giving the finger. I have the t-shirt!
I had a whole section about civic pride.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I just heard on NPR that Molly Ivins died. I'll miss her barbed, witty commentary. Dang.
I can attest that the shoes & chocolate shop is great. 3 pair of my favorite shoes are from there

Awww... I heard she was hospitalized, but....
That's sad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, man. I'll miss her.

Oh, f*** on the Ivins news. I'd heard she was hospitalized, but I hadn't realized it was so bad.

According to the Stateman, she died at home under hospice care.

Molly Ivins died? Oh, no! She's so awesome, I had no idea she was ill.
Goddamnit.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
What Consuela said. That's truly crappy news.

Don't bother asterisking your "fuck," Theodosia--Molly would have just said it out loud! I think I'm going to go home and read one of her collections that I have on the shelf. Damn, I'll have to rename one of my bookmarks here at work--it links to her columns at Workingforchange.com, but now I'll just have to have it link to the list of columnists instead.
Didn't go swimming today. Did 30 minutes on the treadmill instead
I just got back from signing up at the park district's fitness center/indoor pool! They were having a $99/3 months special that ended today, so I took advantage of it. I'm hoping I can get up early enough to use their lap pool on Saturday morning (6-7:30 am dedicated to just lap swimming; classes start in that same pool at 8:00). They also have a more kid-friendly pool that had a bunch of moms and babies in it when I was there at 6:00--that one also has a "lazy river" effect in part of it, which looks pretty cool to check out. The fitness center part has a bunch of ellipticals and treadmills and a few less stationary and recumbent bikes, as well as weight machines and free weights. Not a bad setup for a community park district!
