Ha! There were blueberry bagels in our conference room the other day. I have to really watch myself to not say that out loud every time that happens.

Yep, I feel the same way at our Friday floor breakfasts when someone's grab-bagged bagels and a chocolate chip bagel (ewwwwww!) gets in the mix. Inevitably, someone snags it like they've just scored bigtime.

Why did I make myself get on the treadmill?

Because I ate french fries for lunch.

Oh god, the face of evil is here?

He's on his way to the airport, I believe. He gave a speech at the Ritz across the street from my office this morning. Ew. I've been surrounded by his presence all morning.

Middle East Cafe, most likely (TT the Bear's or, RIP, Nightstage would be too small, and I'm not sure if, RIP, Man Ray ever had bands on any regular basis).

I don't think Middle East was around when I was in school. Or maybe only at the very end. It wasn't TT's and I don't remember the other places. I want to say it was on the water...but now I'm wondering if I'm confusing it with a place in SF! Dag! I'm forgetting my past!

I've been told by New Yorkers that blueberries are NOT for bagels.

I'm a bagel heretic, apparently, because that's my favorite kind.

I hope Darth Cheney doesn't swing this way on his evil bat-wings on his way out of the Midwest.

Because I ate french fries for lunch.

Wait, I feel like there's a flaw in that argument...

Oh, right. I DIDN'T GET FRENCH FRIES. Though I did have a Reese's peanut butter egg for breakfast.

I want to say it was on the water...but now I'm wondering if I'm confusing it with a place in SF!

There was a place on the water in Boston called The Channel, but that wasn't anywhere near the Necco factory.

So that's where Dick Cheney is. With all the Iraq news, I keep expecting them to roll out Cheney to tell us, frankly, that things are going well in Iraq, we've turned the corner, and that the opposition is in its last throes.

Also, did anybody watch Shear Genius? I've been working nights all week and skipping like a madman? Did the first episode air before last night?

Theodore had damned well better keep that model for the rest of the show. She totally sold that 'do. When we were watching him build it, I couldn't help but think "Please tell me he's not going to put a box on her head." And the model, as she was about to start her walk, kind of rolled her eyes as if to say "I can't believe I'm about to do this.... there's a fucking BOX on my head...." But she put on her runway smile, strutted down to the end, triggered the box opening, flashed that fantastic smile, and BAM! It was awesome.

Even the judges seemed to kind of indicate with their chatter later that they thought it was going to be stupid, until the model got to their end of the runway. Like: "Oh, this is going to be stupid. There's a friggin' box on her head. BAM! That's awesome!"

She totally made the difference between his winning and losing. If she had kept a sort of this sucks attitude on her face, he might have even been going home.

Anyway, I've been looking forward to this train wreck, and wanting to see the horrible horrible things these people are going to do to other people's heads.

I watched it, Sean, on Wednesday night right after the finale of Top Design. So far, I really like Tyrone, despite his weird top to bottom crash from the first challenge to the second, and OMG was I glad to see Paul-Jean go. Yikes, he was annoying. It was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be, since Top Design was really disappointing to me on a lot of levels.
