Xander ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have the overnight shift tomorrow night, but after that I have a week off. Yay! Except that week off is filled with a desperate attempt to get my car to pass inspection, get to the courthouse to tell them my car is legal, a dentist appointment and hopefully a large filling on Wednesday, and a doctor's appointment for Hubby on Friday.
Someday, dammit, I will simply get to rest.
Aargh. What is it about today? I'm gronked beyond all comprehension. I would seriously like to curl up under my desk right now (except I know what's been on that floor).

::sweeps everything off of Frank's desktop onto the floor, thus creating a space for him to curl up:: Ta-Da!
I'm having a good day. The weather is gorgeous -- with sunshine and lovely cool air and I've been puttering around the apartment. Actually, so much so that I forgot to take my am meds until just a few moments ago.
ION, I have NPR on and Diane Riehm (sp?) spoke about the Gingrich incident because apparently, Gingrich is making claims about why he left etc on his website that is contrary to what happened. She didn't say what his claims are but she says that his people contacted the producers of her show wanting to get on - rather last minute. They agreed to do the full hour - which is typical. Then, even more last minute they tried to back out of doing a full hour. But, because they didn't give them any time to get a replacement - the producers of the show said no. So, the people connected at the show thought it was settled. And you guys know what happened. Diane Riehm said that had they known that he was going to hang up - they would have opened the phone lines early so that questions from listeners could have come through. (I wonder, could it be that Gingrich didn't want to answer questions from NPR listeners?)
I am so much more ungronked this morning than last.
In fact, I'm looking forward to going to work.
sumi, any updates on Ivan?
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....
I would suggest a term made up by a friend of mine from grad school:
The Journal of Sleeponautics!
AWW. Carlos and Fernando has a bebe. [link]
Did Aillean ever post her pictures?
No, not yet! I've been having Harddrive Space issues, which are currently complicated by IDE Cable Isn't Long Enough, The Bastard issues. All should be rectified over the weekend.
My quantity of suck is often astronomical. I blame SPN.
Awesome nature video....
A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and 2 crocodiles at a watering hole in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Something like 300 in the wild life.
The lions catch a buffalo calf, which falls into the water. Then two crocodiles try to steal the calf away from the lions, and a tug-of-war ensues. The lions manage to get the calf away from the crocs.
Then the buffalo herd counterattacks....
