Nilly never fails to make me smile.

Apparently, I am supposed to be in Boise to play Operation and Rhino Rampage on Thursday. Hate to disappoint my friend's daughter, but it seems unlikely.

It tickles me that we're able to converse on the phone now. And that I actually played the games she mentioned just this week!

I don't want to go to work tomorrow. Have to. Hoping enough people are out this week that I *can't* get much done. Because I have a shitload to do, and I want to ease into it.

I'm just working two days in total this week (full day tomorrow, two half days following), and I've got enough unemployment insurance regulations to keep me busy until Wednesday afternoon.

Apologies to any Chargers fans, but man, I just want to smack Philip Rivers across his smug little face.

With my baseball bat.

Kathy, you still working for the lawyer? (I've probably skimmed a lot in this week.)

That's the problem when I have time off. I remember what it's like not being there. And I want to not be there some more.

I've already had two work crises while I was off, so I can't decide if I should check my email tomorrow, or if I should continue to hide from it.... On one of the crises, it's a good thing someone else checked her email on Friday, when we were closed, because it would have turned into a disaster by tomorrow. Ugh!

So here's the Simpsons kipa that I finished on Thursday night, for the wedding of a dear family friend.

Nilly, that is amazing. I wonder if Jon B has seen it?

The ads for Lie to Me are fascinating. I love Tim Roth. And keep being impressed by the quality of actors Fox keeps bringing to tv.

Whoa! Hold the phone! Tim Roth coming to a Fox show near me? How did I not know about this? Squeeeee!

I am using the new 22" LCD monitor that I got from my brother and his family for the the first time. It's a big upgrade from my 15" CRT monitor. Everything is so wide!!! I feel like I am having horizontal vertigo. Horizongo?

Maybe this queasy feeling is because I have to go to work tomorrow.

Watching live TV just doesn't work quite right for me. I'm switching between a Amy Winehouse concert and The Sound of Music. Um, both musical. Perhaps I should stick to pre-recorded stuff.

15" CRT monitor.

I think my great-grandparents had one of those for their steam-powered difference engine....

Hey! it's only 7 years old! Maybe 8.

Another advantage: It's now very hard for my cat to block my entire view of the monitor when she wants my attention.
