Cool, Lori.
Ugh. It's so gray outside there are visible wisps of fog between my window and the building across the street.
On the plus side, I got your birthday cake.
And your present.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

My team, the Royals, are actually not the worst team in baseball. They are not even the worst team in the AL. This year is looking up. If only they could be in the NL West.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
If only it was fog, JZ.
If I could bundle up the fog and pass it your way, I would. We had smoky haze yesterday, but this is definitely foggy-fog-fog blowing in from the ocean, with November levels of cold and that unpleasant damp that goes right to your bones.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Special extravaganza-action there, including NASA/JPL robots!
Cool! But I feel kinda sad for the Phoenix lander now, all alone up there with its asparagus plot and its twitter client while the rest of the gang gets to go out to the movies.

Every time we look at all the standings for all the teams, we think about you and Susan and your plucky but flailing teams, and we've been noticing and cheering for the Royals' modest improvement this year.
(And feeling really, really bad for Susan every time the Mariners fall down. We have our strong local loyalties but it's no fun to have other Buffistas feeling actively lousy about their teams.)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
They are not even the worst team in the AL.
That is because my team is the worst in the AL. My mighty Mariners, how low you have fallen.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is interesting: a look at Chicago's top ten sculptures.
From one of the slides:
This 21st Century equivalent of a grand ceremonial arch or gate to an ancient city additionally reflects the heavens and some of Chicago's important architectural legacy. (The work is popularly--and foolishly--nicknamed the Bean.)
No, not "foolishly". 'Cuz that's what it looks like. A giant silver bean.
