There's just knowing that around 3 pm at work I'm gonna feel like I took a brick to the back of my head weighing on my mind. But tomorrow I can sleep in, so it'll all work out.

Oy. Then again, if it has to happen, at least it'll be with a proper timing, before the weekend, right?

Humm, where's the post I've just sent?

Have you tried looking under the sofa? [Edit: x-post, of course.]

Sorry.

Hi Nilly, Shir, Calli. I am up too early.

I can understand why NBC wants to show the opening ceremonies in Prime Time, but why do the people on Today have to pretend it's not happening now?

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

but why do the people on Today have to pretend it's not happening now?

That's like pretending the world isn't round.

ION, I have to go to work, but there's a comfy kitty on my lap who won't be happy about that....

Now tagless for your comfort.

shir, I wish I could loan you my DH. He has a particular gift for verbally taking down arrogant colleagues.

Second breakfast is a latte and cheese danish at Starbucks while I reacharge my phone.

Morning, Sue! [Edit: and tommy!]

why do the people on Today have to pretend it's not happening now?

I remember, as a very little girl, waking up way early in the not-yet-morning to watch - I think it was the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games held in LA? And of course, while the sun was setting there, it was rising here. And I remember the awe of looking up from the tv screen to the window and seeing the sky, which was black just a few minutes before, and was turning lighter and gray-er and blu-er, and how it hit me that it's the same sun - that the same sun setting *there*, is rising *here*. I think it was the first time I didn't just know, but actually realized, that the world was round.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that's fantastic.

I am getting sucked in by the opening ceremonies. I need to leave the house.
