Hey, Emily! I was going to say that you were up early, then I realized that you're on Right Time now!

We may even have a regular East Coast AM crew again at this rate.

My mornings are going to be off for a while until I get a handle on this 'class at 8:30 AM' thing.

Still feels too early. Seriously, I'm getting more sleep now and feeling more tired.

Of course, last year I didn't have a first period class, so I could get a second cup of coffee and settle in before there were students. This year, I have a first period class and then there's study hall in my room, so I don't even feel comfortable making coffee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, that just might be the studio where they filmed the commercial... I will check the DVDs for you.

Nah, it's definitely shot at Silvercup, per their website.

Did I tell you they filmed an episode at the Grand Prospect Hall (said with Russian accent)?!

Heh.

That? Made of awesome! If you ever have one and a stamp to spare, promise you'll send me one.

My old job title was "Coordinator of Special Projects". E me and I'll send you one if you like.

so the best case scenario would be to rent it in NYC, return it in DC, and then do the same thing in reverse for the drive home.

Oooh! When can I meet Dylan? Plus, time away from the family visiting your friend in her new place if necessary.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If only Bush had listened to Gen. Petraeus's boss....

In sharp contrast to the lionisation of Gen. David Petraeus by members of the U.S. Congress during his testimony this week, Petraeus's superior, Admiral William Fallon, chief of the Central Command (CENTCOM), derided Petraeus as a sycophant during their first meeting in Baghdad last March, according to Pentagon sources familiar with reports of the meeting.

Fallon told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chickenshit" and added, "I hate people like that", the sources say. That remark reportedly came after Petraeus began the meeting by making remarks that Fallon interpreted as trying to ingratiate himself with a superior.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Oooh! When can I meet Dylan? Plus, time away from the family visiting your friend in her new place if necessary.

You bet! There will be approximately twelve jillion of my extended family coming into town for this, so any offer of escape will be welcome.

One of my students is attempting to animate Optimus Prime. He said, "Don't tell me you don't know what Optimus Prime is." Isn't the Transformers more my childhood than his? What is the enduring appeal?

Wait. Cars and robots. Never mind.
