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.

That picture is hilarious! As are many of the previous ones.

I don't know about being stuck inside, but I sure wish I wasn't at work! Stupid work. I just want to bang on the drum all day!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Rain = stuck inside = cranky baby = tired mama.

I hear ya! It's pissing rain here--enough that I don't want to take the kids outside, even to go to the gym. If it clears up later, we'll go but for now, Owen's watching a very annoying kids' show and Olivia is playing with cookie sheets.

Vampire baby is CUTE. One of the perks of having a kid is amusing yourself by taking funny pictures.

Ugh. I've been at work for 20 minutes, and there's an email conversation from last night that I don't want to read, and a voicemail message that I don't want to hear.

And now the person I don't want to deal with this morning has just walked in. I suspect he'll be coming over to my cube soon.

Scola, you need to make a camouflage cubicle curtain with an empty chair.

Ann, that's a ferret.

With all this pronounciation discussion, I'm surprised nobody has pointed out that there's no such place as New Or-LEENZ. Or-LEENZ Parish, yes. But the city is New OR-lunz, New (or N') AW-lunz, or (for the old school) New OR-lee-unz.

Oh, and I also have only ever heard WAW-keh-shaw for the town where I had my first job.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's a pretty useful Yankee detector.

That is so awesome.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Somehow, even after I lived there for four years, no one in my family can pronounce New Orleans properly. They all either say New Or-LEENZ or a clearly-jokey N'Awlins. I don't know what's so difficult about New OR-linz, but none of them can remember it.

Hey, Dana, I might be in Houston for work in October, FYI.
