I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy birthday, Aurelia!
I just saw this on Lifehacker via LJ and thought I would pass it on - super-cheap restaurant gift cards.
Web site Restaurant.com sells gift certificates to participating restaurants all over the country, often offering deeply discounted prices. Right now the site is selling $25 gift certificates for $10, which isn't a bad start, but from now until Halloween, entering TREATS at the checkout applies a second 80% discount to the sales price. The result is a supremely cheap $25 gift card for just $2. Want to aim higher? The same discount applies to more expensive gift cards as well, so you can snag a $50 gift card for $4, $100 for $8, and so on.

FUCKING SNOW IN MARYLAND NO.
I heard that report this morning too! "Blah blah blah SNOW SHOWERS." But it must mean for western MD. It's cold but not THAT cold here.
Perkins, it's supposed to warm up to normal fall weather by Friday.

Man, I need to check my email, don't I?
I heard mention of possible snow mixed in for tonight. I'm going to pretend it was a fluke.
I'm supposed to be in two places at once in about 45 minutes. Problem.

This is funny, except for the complete waste of federal funds part....
Abstinence shocker: Engaged couples don't want to forgo sex
From the Associated Press:
A contest that would pay $10,000 to an engaged couple, as long as they abstain from premarital sex, hasn't gotten any takers. The deadline for the Marriage for a Lifetime contest is Oct. 31. The prize includes free flowers, invitations and other wedding treats.
Considering 95% of Americans have pre-marital sex, I'm not exactly shocked.
The contest is sponsored by the Marriage Appreciation Training Uplifting Relationship Education (MATURE) project in Georgia, a federally-funded abstinence program. The group is set to receive $455,510 a year until 2011; the money for the contest was to come from those funds. In an economic crisis, it's pretty awesome to see our federal dollars being so entirely wasted.
