Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Okay, I've started it. I have 0.4 percent. I can watch now?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen is screaming at the top of his lungs about not wanting to go out. We're probably not going to make it to yoga. Crap.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Owen is screaming at the top of his lungs about not wanting to go out.

I'm going to try that next time my alarm goes off.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The thing about "The Fall of the House of Usher," for me -- and actually this is true of several of Poe's most famous works -- is that it was first published in Godey's Lady's Book, which was a periodical of the time, which was very tall and fairly narrow. Something like 12" x 7", or anyway, a trim size very odd to the modern eye. And then?

Teeny tiny little itty bitty type! Almost the whole of "Usher" fits on a single two-column page in its original printing. I blew it up 100% on aq copier just to be able to make it out.

I swear, like bright lighting and good eyesight were commoner then than now! WTF!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Because the universe knows I had to go to bed before Torchwood finished ahemming last night

Are you sending the universe positive thoughts?

Art Crawl!!!

I seem to have a cold. I wish I'd called in sick - however, I have tomorrow off and that seemed like a bad idea.

And it's snowing. And we're under a wind chill warning for most of the weekend.

Must get more coffee.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia - I think I'd like a certificate or something, but do not necessarily need credit towards a degree. I do not plan on taking enough to get a second BA, so credit seems unecessary. And no, nursing wouldn't help. I am thinking intro bookkeeping and accounting stuff, maybe some intermediate MS Office application classes at some point. It wouldnt be until the summer, but my work has tuition reimbursement and I'd like to take advantage of it in a way that would actually expand job skills.
