You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Still up. It just turned into tomorrow here (as in, midnight). I'm now a pumpkin. Or a shoe, I'm not sure.

I'm trying to pull being awake and productive as much as I can, since I can't work at my computer on Saturday (which starts Friday evening), and my dissertation deadline is next week.

Also, I'm whiny and feeling sorry for myself. Hmm, if a pumpkin feels sorry for itself, does that make it a squash?

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

Well I managed to get most of the time sensitive tasks that I can't do in a normal weekday done: post office, library, bank, bottle return.

And I avoided the temptation to buy stuff, so that is good.

Nilly, this cracked me up!

Huh. So it kinda turns out it was my fault.

Because I was missing crucial info.

And is really a lot more fixable than I thought earlier, because I didn't have enough INFO.

Sheesh. At least I can postpone the heart attack.

There's a cardinal outside my window fixing his feathers, and every time he goes for a spot on his chest, it looks like his head has popped off.

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

Ask him if he has any rules.

Oh dear.

Go msbelle!

this cracked me up!

Yay!

It pretty much demands me to say "Oh, well, my work here is done", right? Sigh.

I was missing crucial info

So, see, not *your* fault again! Like I believe I mentioned earlier, everything is my fault.

(Yeah, I could have said the "my work here is done" line again, right? Oh, well).

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

everything is my fault.

I thought I was the destroyer of the universe?

So this part may be under your responsibility. Still my fault, though. Everything is my fault.

Hole in the ozone layer? my fault
Lindbergh baby? my fault
My school's FCAT score? my fault
Nilly's problems? my fault

Some good-ish news: Gay Marriage looks safe in California (for the moment)

The fact that the "no" vote (always an advantage in these initiatives) is already over 50 percent virtually ensures that as long as the "no" camp runs a vigorous campaign, this hateful ballot initiative will be defeated.
