Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Random post-Super Bowl and Puppy Bowl thoughts:

1. Tom Petty: Much though I love him, he was in the end less delightful than either Prince or kittens.

2. Football would be so much improved if it took a cue from the Puppy Bowl and allowed the ref to blow the whistle on some random player, tell him "You are a dirty dog," and carry him off the field tucked under one arm like a sack of potatoes. Granted, this would require some truly massive refs, but it'd be wonderful.

Holy crap, lisah!

Holy crap, lisah!

I KNOW! I'd read the news reports, of course, but didn't process that the name of the guy they were investigating was my friend's husband until I saw her on Saturday afternoon and she told us the story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HMOG! That's nuts.

Whoa, lisah. That sucks.

I'm super congested. Congestion is not the business.

Ooh. I meant to add, Jessica, yeah, I've seen it.

I'd like to know why I received tax forms for a city in Michigan when I did not live or work there at all in 2007. Are they hoping I'll forget and pay their city tax anyway?

Man, I am once again furious about how rude my co-worker is. I'm thinking about setting up a meeting to talk to our boss about him.

In the meantime, am writing a scathing email about the local radio institution our local public radio fuckos have yanked off the air. I fear I'm not being coherent at all. I just want to say THIS IS BULLSHIT and leave it at that.

I wish I was more articulate.

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

Am finally caught up. I spent last night watching Farscape after buying season one from iTunes.

Apparently there was some sort of football game last night?

It's been a while since I skipped a Super Bowl. Maybe I should have watched it....

I really, really worry that the whole Steiner thing is going to really fuck up WYPR. And I don't mean that gleefully. On one hand, it might get it back on a community-minded track. OTOH, it might founder, and that would be sad.
