The cousin I was with when we kept bumping into him went up to him.

Her: Hello.
Him: Hello. I'm Mark.
Her (small eyeroll): I know. I'm Megan.
Him: Nice to meet you.
Her: On behalf of all the women in this room, I'd like to tell you that you're very good looking.

I about choked on my tongue, since said cousin was 14 and had just sauntered into a chichi Aspen bar without even being carded.

I love my family.

On behalf of all the women in this room, I'd like to tell you that you're very good looking.

I love your cousin.

Also, Mr. McGrath was scarygood on the VH1 celebrity Jeopardy-type show they had. I may have had a small crush.

I think that I swooned when he ran the "New Wave" category.

RE: Definition of "Breaking News"

This:

-- Sen. Larry Craig, who was arrested on misdemeanor disorderly conduct in a bathroom, denies he is gay and accuses a newspaper of a witchhunt.

is not "Breaking News". Unless your lead reporter is Observo, Master of the Obvious.

Stop cluttering up my email with this nonsense.

Tell me a thing that made you happy recently.

In a phone conversation, my 7-yr old nephew (M) was telling me all the jokes and riddles from his Ranger Rick magazines. I told him to ask my brother to tell the "foot foot" joke. I could hear my brother in the background start to tell the joke, stopping every sentence or so to let M repeat it to me. This joke is a long, shaggy-dog type story with a lame punch-line. All the charm is in the way the story is told. Anyway, it was obvious that M had no idea where the story was going but was willing to go along. I was suppressing laughter the whole time just because I could picture the question mark on his face. After repeating the punch-line to me he said, "Was that supposed to be funny?" I could hear my parents and my brother burst out laughing at the same time I did. So, I got to share a moment with them without being there. It was good.

I got to snuggle Noah yesterday, and zrrbrt Gracie's toes last night.

And tonight Polgara is coming over for arts and crafts (making the goodie bags for the reading).

I just found out that one of the instructors was given wrist and ankle restraints *and* a heart-shaped paddle as going away gifts. Although I am sad that I haven't gotten to give her my gift yet (pink duck vibrator), I'm made a little happy.

Other than that I'm beyond pissy. And I wish they'd turn the tv off, or at least change the station.

Rain is a perfectly valid excuse for me to skip rehearsal, right?

Rain is serious business.

Does anyone know of the statistical breakdown of which side (say) American men dress on? Is it linked to handedness?

This article says US men tend to dress left:
