I've been listening to this and giggling today. It's a mp3 snippet of a recent performance at the Met where a soprano briefly loses control of her vocal cords: [link]

Heh. That's especially funny because she's doing so well up to that point and then she just completely spazzes it.

I guess I should just get over myself and realise that business formal isn't my style, so I should stop trying to find a way to force the square peg on pretty much no budget at all.

Maybe add a cool scarf or funky earrings? Perhaps a wacky pin?

In Generation X Douglas Coupland called this an "Anti-Victim Device" used to indicate you really, really weren't a corporate tool even when you were.

FNL: I think my favorite line (if I remember it correctly was CT and Tami sitting in the car outside the jail and CT saying, "All the other parents have picked up their perps, why can't we pick up ours?"

Hee. Oh and when Tyra says, "Where's the other one?"

And I really loved Riggins coaching the JV guys. (And that little bit where Riggins and Matt's coaching styles are at odds at the beginning.)

I just checked work email, and we got a full 8 hours of leave today. And since county schools are going to be closed, I bet they do give us at least a couple of hours tomorrow. Maybe if I keep deciding not to go in, they'll keep giving everyone the day off. Forever!

So if I can't get the car out of its glacier tomorrow, I'm not going to fret about it, since all of this goofing off has yet to cut into my vacation/comp time.

I will need to hike to the store tomorrow, though.

I love Criminal Minds.

Me too! They're hot nerds. Like us!!

What they said! I think Morgan and Garcia are my non-romantic OTP.

And since county schools are going to be closed, I bet they do give us at least a couple of hours tomorrow.

Hmm. Suddenly seeing the downside of the No More New England Winters plan -- no snow days!

Seriously.

I think my hair is my Anti-Victim Device. I can never be properly business formal with it.

I like the black and cream idea! I have a Ann Taylor Loft gift card and a discounty-thingy around here somewhere. My one cream skirt is a little pencillish for business formal, so maybe I can hook myself up.

For some interview after tomorrow's should I ever have to have one.

I sproined my grain. Groined my sprain. Sprained my groin. Putting on a body triangle.

Sprained it yesterday, then compressed, iced, and rested it. For no apparent reason I decided to teach yellow belts a switch round kick today ("What level were you teaching, ita?" "Level me?"), and since my test kick went fine, I figured no prob.

FUTHERMOCKER. Serves my stupid self right. There will be ice with me in bed tonight. Happy Valentine's indeed.

Sara--I totally thought that about The Unit too. Weird choice of music. The singing character was hot for the first time too.

Okay, off to ice my groin.

Note to self: icing the groin kills Natter right dead.
