Wash ,'War Stories'
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.
Huh. We just had an earthquake.
I heard that on the news! Crazy.
Also, anyone with Time Warner cable anywhere can apparently watch our New York 1 people doing Pope coverage. But our beloved Pat Kiernan is on an alternate channel doing the regular news, so you're out of luck there, I guess.
Vladimir Putin dumped his wife and is planning to marry an Olympic gymnast half his age. 24-year-old Kabaeva was known for her "extreme natural flexibility" - she won a gold in the all-around at the 2004 Athens Olympics - but is now retired from gymnastics and has been elected to the Russian parliament...as a representative of Putin's party.
All the world leaders are doing it!
All the world leaders are doing it!
classy.
hey Tom... I got my calendars crossed with all the sick here. Conference is next Friday.
Huh. And I got called into work early today, and my afternoon would have been free.
I think the quotes around flexibility utterly skeeve me out.
Huh. We just had an earthquake.
Which I didn't feel, but my cat did, since she woke me up at 4:40, meowing at full blast. I thought she was just being a brat (she had already woken me up an hour or so earlier, trying to paw through my jewelry box), so I bitched her out and rolled over to go back to sleep. When my alarm went off at 6:15, the first thing the radio news talked about was the earthquake and what time it happened, so I apologized for being mean and not freaking out with her.
I'm so mad! When I woke up all over the radio it was "OMGWTF Earthquake!" and people apparently felt it as far away as Ohio and I didn't feel one little shake.
Darn that living on the first floor and sleeping on a low bed.
mac tested positive for strep. mac also has gotten sick 3 out of 4 times after taking amoxicilian, so I need to callt he Dr. for a new med. his throat does not hurt anymore so naturally he just doesn't want to take any medicine.
ION, first iced hazelnut coffee of the season. mmmmmmm.
OMGWTF Earthquake!
New Madrid! New Madrid!!
mac tested positive for strep.
Yikes. I found out recently that scarlet fever, which used to be portrayed as this terrible, awful, many-months-convalescence disease? Where you have to burn all your toys and bedclothes, even your beloved Velveteen Rabbit? (Except if the Rabbit has a fairy godmother, but you don't know about that part.) That scarlet fever is just strep throat gone slightly haywire, and the many months of convalescence were more likely to be many months recovering from whatever awful "cure" medicines they gave you.
We heard about the earthquake on the radio on the way into work. Some of my co-workers claimed it woke them up.
To this event I can only say "Oh HAHA California, VERY FUNNY!"
