Aw, man, I'm missing all the fun stuff this summer! Stoopid baby.

Heh.

[I just checked out the Bryant Park summer film schedule, and they're showing Annie Hall next Monday. It's like they're trying to torture DH & me.]

I dunno, I don't think movies in Bryant Park are ever worth it -- just rent the movie and sit on the floor of your apartment!

In other Things I'll Be Missing Because I'll Be In Labor And/Or Have A Newborn news, this weekend is the Big Apple BBQ Block Party at Madison Sq park. I went last year and it was obnoxiously hot and the lines were long, but the food was sooooooo good.

[edit:

just rent the movie and sit on the floor of your apartment!

True, true...]

Still wondering about Washington's lack of contract with Greys. Wondering, but unsurprised, all things considered.

I AM CRABBY today. Please to kill the crabby monster invading my personal space.

Friday question (mostly for the ladies): When was the last time you wore hose (pantyhose, stockings, whatever you prefer)?

I think I wore fishnets when I dressed up for something in the winter. Maybe regular seamed stockings with one of the Halloween costumes. Spring and summer in Texas = nothing on my legs except for the occasional jeans.

ETA: Today's Daily Puppy keels me ded! I love big honkin' baby dogs. [link]

It's supposedly going to be hotter than the surface of the sun in a sauna today.

I love air conditioning.

Speaking of - how wrong is this? Wrong - or very wrong?

Very wrong.

Friday question (mostly for the ladies): When was the last time you wore hose (pantyhose, stockings, whatever you prefer)? I wear opaque tights all the time in the winter, but I can't think of the last time I wore hose. I know I wore 'em to a wedding in Richmond VA in October 2002 - but I don't think since. Do big-city professionals wear them to work any more (Jesse, bon bon, Vortex)?

I am not wearing hose today, but that’s because it’s Friday and I’m wearing a long flowy skirt. I don’t wear hose with pants if I’m wearing flats in the summer because it makes my feet sweat. If I am wearing a skirt suit, (2-3 times a week) I wear hose. I work at a University, so it’s a more casual environment. I mostly do it because upper management wears suits and I want to give that impression.

It struck me this morning how not one single word coming out of this administration is credible anymore. There is nothing I don't immediately discount and start looking for the angle.

For me personally, that’s been one of this administration’s greatest crimes – making me distrust my government. I HATE that. I should be able to rely on them to take care of me and my country. Not only do I not believe that they are doing that, I believe that they are hurting the country. *sigh*

Agreed about the lack of trust with the administration-- Ari Fleischer's great "innovation" of straight-up lying to the press corps seems to have had some blowback. Speaking of WH press tools, there's a great article in The New Republic about David Gregory, here: [link] Since registration is required, the upshot is that he is kind of a blowhard, but the kind of blowhard that would noisily talk back to the WH when he gets screwed over.

MyCatHatesYou reminded me of this [link] which actually made Mr. Jane come running in the room to figure out what that godawful noise was.
