Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Pluses: I am totally leaving early today; I don't have to work over the weekend; and case-celebratory lunch is being provided reportedly with wine.

Minuses: I have to get everything done in the next hour and a half. If anyone has any ideas for how to represent a PMMA in a signature block, I am ALL EARS.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My mother is tempting me to come with the kids to Boston/the Cape in June. For a week. Aside from $450 and traveling with 2 kids alone (mr. flea would stay home and WORK), is there any reason not to? Hmmm.

OK, now I'm thinking "Toddlers! Toddlers on a motherfuckin PLANE!" and cracking up.

Would a really big cardboard box half-filled with Styrofoam peanuts be a good place for a nap?

Try it and report back in the name of nappy-time science.

Had breakfast at 5:30 AM after having woken up at 4:00. By now, I'm just all, "WAIT! I'm tired!" and I sort of fucked up and forgot to pump. Oops. Damn. No way around it now.

I knew there was something I was supposed to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The good news is, if I leave early today, I don't think anyone will notice.

I would like to go to the Cape.

I believe it would, yes.

What's a PMMA?

Oooh, further plus, I hope you all see something like this:

The New York office will close at 3:00 p.m. today.

Another edit: I totally have "Don't Stop Believin'" in my head!

I wonder if you used styrofoam peanuts, if you could also find one of the injection foam things that shippers use to pack stuff to create a pillow.

I am guessing this doesn't have anything to do with Scrooge McDuck filling an Olympic-sized pool with money and then doing the backstroke in it.

What do you mean by "represent in a signature block"?

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

It would be so cool to be a nappy-time scientist.... Now I'm trying to think of a good name for a publication... Journal of Nappy-time Science or somesuch....

Ooh, good idea - we have some of those.
