Eeeee, Jesse! That's so sad.
Today is going to be much more productive than yesterday, I'm not letting headache get me down, damn it. :: stiffens upper lip, girds loins ::
Xander: I do have Spaghetti-os. Set 'em on top of the dryer and you're a fluff cycle away from lukewarm goodness. Riley: I, uh, had dryer-food for lunch.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm definitely feeling off-kilter this morning.
You know, all my Law & Order watching makes me forget just how slowly the justice system actually moves -- the shooting was in 2002, Andrew was convicted in 2005, and the Appeals Court just ruled. That's a damn long time. [link]

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We are up and have had waffles and mac has had a few episodes of Justice League. Now it is time for shower and then we will be off to the city to meet up with his uncle. They will be off to ride the Staten Island Ferry and explore downtown, and I will go to see fictional boyfriend, Jason Bourne.

Man, I love the Staten Island Ferry.

Yay, uncles!
It's just cool enough out for shoes and a sweater, but warm enough to sit out on the patio with my laptop and a bagel.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm dressed and coffee-filled and have the workshop schedule all printed out. I'm going to have to cheat and have a friend sign me off on a class I didn't take so I can get out of there in time to give Hec a decent chunk of writing time, but by gum I am GOING TO WORKSHOPS.
Long, long, long drive down to Gilroy awaits.

I was gonna say, you're sure up early! Now I know why -- enjoy!
I found out this week that I may well qualify for a special Unemployment extension if I'm enrolled in certain year-long programming training classes, which would be financially tight, but actually very useful to do. So tomorrow I'm going to go talk to a state unemployment counselor and find out if I do qualify, because, DAMN that would be great.

I think I might go buy a new TV today, and I realized part of what's so weird to me about that -- I've never bought a TV! When I graduated from college, I got an ancient one from my family, and then the current one is my Jeopardy consolation prize! I guess getting 12 years out of a free TV isn't so bad.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Jesse, I still have my old 27" TV to get rid of.

Hmmm, I can only recall buying two TVs, the last but one is still upstairs, mostly unused in my study. There was a B&W one that I had in college -- I wonder if I bought it in high school or not, when I got my first stereo, or a parental present? (I'm only on my second stereo system....)
Anyway, Jesse, you have my full permission to qualify for buying a (new) TV at this point. It's not, you know, ostentatious.
