I just heard the dumbest commentary ever. The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.' That would be awesome in electionese -- a pollster says, "98% of Californians believe someone will win this election."
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

Especially when for the first time in memory Super Tuesday very well may not decide anything, on either side.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The announcer said, 'My prediction is someone will win this game.'
That's just awesome -- I think it might even beat the previous winner, "increasingly, this primary season is coming down to who has the most delegates" (which a dear friend of mine pointed out is an awful lot like saying that the super bowl came down to who got the most points.)

I love that today is Super Fat Tuesday! It makes me feel like I fit right in.

But I think it was done completely unironically. Like I might say, "It's too close to call. I predict someone will win." But they didn't do that.
People make me laugh.
We had pancakes for dinner.
I need to get a copy of a credit report to send to my potential new landlord. Any ideas on how I do that?

My parents have certainly got less patient with each other on the phone over time. But then, that's also just time talking to kids long distance, time to build up intolerance to the quirks (hi dad, you make SO MUCH NOISE.) That article doesn't really argue with my experience.
OTOH, they've also grown much more protective of the other. They bitch but they worry and try to mitigate in ways I haven't been witness to earlier.
Crap, my parents are inching towards old and I don't like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is Matt around? Sounds like he's in worse shape than we are - tornadoes hitting that area.
Dudes, the current breaking news on CNN is tornado warnings in Memphis. The Weather Center is INSIDE the Election Center!

"WTF, there's no Canadians on the jury" and then found out it some kind of code for black people! Which is just...weird.
WTF!
Okay, I need a cabana boy who will shovel. There was only a few inches of snow, and now my back is killing me.
Also, there was some nutter further up my street using his snowblower in the middle of the road. He must really like his snowblower.

Our wings are not tired.
Shiny post number there, Jesse.
And with that I must hit the sheets, although I will likely fall asleep with the tv on since I have to torture myself with this election stuff. CA needs to start closing their polling earlier so as not to disturb my sleep patterns.
