Congrats on your Googleyness, shrift!!

So so tired.

I have a week to get my apartment to "Mom's staying over" cleaniness state. I figure one room a day should do it: kitchen tonight, closets tomorrow night, bedroom Sunday, etc. That way, I won't be up all night next Saturday night doing everything that evening like I usually do.

Shit.

Russia sent columns of tanks and reportedly bombed Georgian air bases Friday after Georgia launched a major military offensive to retake the breakaway province of South Ossetia, threatening to ignite a broader conflict.

Hundreds of civilians were reported dead in the worst outbreak of hostilities since the province won defacto independence in a war against Georgia that ended in 1992. Witnesses said the South Ossetian capital of Tskhinvali was devastated.

Also, Edwards has copped to his affair. So I guess folks knew that and that's one reason why nobody was talking about him as a VP candiate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Waaah! So do I! Well, more than a week, but still. I'm probably a far slower mover. She swears I don't have to, that it's part of the reason she's coming, but who's she kidding? It doesn't matter in the least. I still need to get tense.

Actually, what I need to do is go somewhere and call that recruiter back. I hate that search for privacy that's supposed to still sound professional.

Trust my rage

Wait, Edwards whose wife has breast cancer?

Yep.

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards on Friday admitted to an extramarital affair while his wife was battling cancer. He denied fathering the woman's daughter.

Holy Carp! He was my favorite for president (except kuchinich)

Also, it seems like they call every indiscretion "an affair"-- while to me "an affair" implies some emotional ties that just "cheating" does not. Not that they aren't both not good things.
