Even if I get trapped in public transportation hell tomorrow, my TiVo will make sure I don't miss FNL.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

I took my computer home just in case (because dude, how much would it suck to get the word to stay home but still have to go in because you don't have what you need here) but mostly it's just going to mean that I get to schlep that bag back with me tomorrow.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Thank the sweet baby Jesus for TiVos!
(What? I'm only thinking of shrift's best interests. I am not grateful for TiVos that allow me to watch and rewatch Coach and Mrs. Taylor being Coach and Mrs. Taylor. And Saracen! And Riggins! Nope. Not at all.)

I guess going to work tomorrow will be okay if I don't get stuck on a bus with a bunch of jovial morons who want to bond over the weather like I did on the way home today. I'd like to thank my iPod and the Dead Kennedys for keeping me from stabbing them all in the throat while possibly being taped by a security camera.

shrift, when I took the airport bus at xmas, the driver burst out with a tuneful "I'm dreaming of a white christmas" and the other passengers joined in. You would've died. Or someone woulda. (Me, I buried my curmudgeon enough to like the whole random people coming together thing. My weakness.)

Well, see. I'm not so much a curmudgeon that I didn't laugh along with everyone else this morning when a moronic driver behind the bus kept honking, and the bus driver called him an asshole. Good times for all!
The people I got stuck with on the way home, however, reminded me of the glad-handers of a corporate retreat. Forced, overly familiar, and I was TRAPPED. Standing for an hour and a half without even a cocktail to keep me company.

Damnit, I wish I could get the hell out of Northbrook when I come to Chicago for business. I think I may need to build in an extra day (or at least an extra evening) to meet up with everyone.

Maybe I should take the train tomorrow.

OK, before I go to bed, another tale of sara discovers ipods: Loreena McKennit still gives me the fricking chills. Man, I missed listening to music just because. And the stories.
