Happy birthdays!
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The status is NOT quo.
Happy Birthday, Calli! Happy Birthday, Burrell! I hope you both have fabulous days.

I'm glad Powell came out publically for Obama, and is continuing his criticism of the current administration, while pointing out McCains ties to it. I don't know how much influence he's still go at this point but it's nice to see.
I think he's got a lot of influence, actually. Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, former Secretary of State, former National Security Adviser; he's been a key player in the past 3 Republican presidents' administrations.
And he just endorsed Obama.
I'm hopeful by the fact that I'm now reading articles about how the TV networks don't know how to handle covering the returns on election night, given that if Virginia goes for Obama, that as good as ends it right then.
So basically, the media is ready to call it now, is what I'm reading. Because now they've moved on to trying to figure out how to keep viewers watching all night.
And it IS problematic, not just because they want to keep people watching all night; if they call the election at 7:30 p.m. Eastern, when the polls in Virginia close, that's a LOT of people in the other time zones who might not vote, and there are a lot of downticket races that are counting on a large (and largely Democratic) turnout.

Happy Birthday Calli!
Happy Birthday Burrell!
DH walked downstairs and asked me what the noise was. He has this thing about nail clipping so most of the time I clip them outside. Um, MIDNIGHT--NOT going on the porch to clip my fucking toenails. He snapped at me then went back upstairs.
Oh, HELLS no. Nail clipping's not the most glamorous thing ever, and if someone is squeamish about it I can see not doing it in the same room with them out of consideration, but not in the same house?!? If it bothers him that much there's a perfectly good yard outside where he can flee the horrors of normal grooming.
Is it just other people's nails that he has this issue with, or does he gnaw off his own rather than resort to clippers?

I was gonna say -- don't you live in the Arctic tundra now? Do you just not clip your nails during the winter (so that you don't lose your toes to frostbite)?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It would totally suck for California, I think, because of Prop 8 which really really needs to get defeated.
