Speaking of housing, this house-for-rent listing just appeared on an internal bulletin board:
Brand new. Three bedroom, two bathroom, great room, dining room, kitchen eating bar, mud room, large walk-in closet, extra-large two car garage. Hardwood floors, tile bathrooms. All one level. Quiet, kid-friendly neighborhood.
Cost: The exact amount I was paying for my wee tiny studio in San Francisco.
Where are you these days, Emily? That's a pretty good rent from the sounds of it.
Small town Virginia. Where the air is clear, and there are many, many cows. And calves. Damn, they're cute.
Between the holiday and the LJ "boycott", I'm going to go insane before the day is out.
Quite frankly, I don't either.
Gotcha.
Emily, I wouldn't go either, unless I knew exactly what the people planning it thought of as fun things to do in their not work lives. The element of surprise seems unnecessary here.
b) they won't tell us what awesome fun thing they have planned for us
Good call on opting out. Surprise Awesome Fun almost never is.
Thanks! I feel like it's the right decision, but I also feel like Not a Team Player, so I'll take all the validation I can get. They're just making announcements about leaving now.
Jesus fuck. I think I finally understand what's going on here. Cheney clearly has somehow perfected a way to transfer GWB's brain into a new candidate:
In Israel yesterday, NBC’s Lauren Appelbaum reports, Lieberman once again intervened when McCain made an incorrect reference about the Jewish holiday Purim -- by calling the holiday "their version of Halloween here."
