ugh, kat, those little shits. I agree that calling the school police is the thing to do. I hope they get their lame asses handed to them.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm so sorry for your loss, Tamara.

Kat, that is insane. I hope they get some serious disciplinary action.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, did you catch today's stage yet?

No, between concerts and moving, I'm too swamped. Is there a site you recommend I go read for results?

40 is where it is at. Really. Rock on 40. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I had no clue how fabulous 40 would be until I got here. Just fantastic. Y'all should be jealous of us 40 year olds.

Seriously! The club of people turning 40 this year is pretty freaking cool.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am meeting a friend from college for lunch. She wants to talk to me about my decision to be a single mom. I have no idea what her situation is, if she is thinking about adoption or pregnancy or is already on one of those paths. BUT, she was hard to pin down for lunch because "I hardly ever am able to take lunch, never a whole hour." and I'm hoping not to come off too harsh when I tell her about how much of her life will need to be restructured. Who knows, maybe she has the finances to have a nanny and my path will bear little to no resemblence to hers.

Although maybe this is the sort of information she's looking for, really. Maybe she wants the plain truth, at least as far as you've experienced it?

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

Flint, Michigan Battles Crack Epidemic

The third most violent city in American had declared war on . . . saggy pants. Below, a helpful graphic from the Detroit Free Press explains the new law.

The saggy pants graphic is just... bizarre.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Dallas tried to do that. Then they just turned it into a campaign. There's a song and everything [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Is there a site you recommend I go read for results?

For today -- it was a really fun finish, but of course nothing's really changing any race outcomes until next week. But I won't spoil beyond that, and it was really more of a "who do I know who might be watching right now?!"

In general, I'm still finding the official site best for results. Yes, it's clunky and incredibly weird, but it has tons and tons and tons of data.

And cyclingfans.com has been incredibly nice to me by offering multiple streaming links while I'm stuck at work -- and, as always, pretty pretty pictures. But they aren't really doing results/recaps.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Today is going to really suck and last waaay too long. I think I'll be feeling like this by 11:00 tonight.
