Are they even open today?
2008 got one last kick in when the power cable on my laptop crapped out last night. Feh.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, interesting question. It never occurs to me that things will be closed ever. And after checking, they are indeed closed. Tomorrow, then! Thanks for mentioning it, because that would have been annoying.

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, I do apparently still have the disputed cable channels on my Time Warner cable.

Jesse, I saw an item that said that the dispute had been resolved, so disaster averted.
Back when we had TW here instead of Comcast, we actually had really great service, but then Somerville is a rare 2-cable-system town, which did indeed mean they tried harder.

I love the snap pea crisps. I wish TJs was closer.

There was a near riot at the post office yesterday, because it had closed at 2 p.m. without any particular notice AND the stamp/package machine was broken. The website and the printed notice on the building said it would be open, but there was a handwritten "will close at 2" sign and it was 2:30. About 20 of us were milling about and begging answers from the one unfortunate postal employee who came out into the lobby. I wanted to get a proof of mailing certificate for a payment I wanted counted on '08 taxes. Most of the other people were also slackers who had something that needed to postmarked by the end of the year. A very nice woman who couldn't mail her package gave me a stamp (I tried to pay for it, but she said, "Merry Christmas.") and the poor postal employee swore it would be postmarked yesterday.

Ah, coffee is had. Now I have the kids here with me to watch the Rose Parade on tv.
Every so often I have these moments of kind of uncanny memory when I do something with my kids that I did a gazillion times when I was a kid growing up. It's hard to explain, but it is as if I can feel the presence of me and my siblings there alongside my own kids. It is a good feeling. Plus Stefanie Edwards is back.
Oh, happy birthday Susan!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Well, I don't know if this was 2008 getting one last lick in, or 2009 starting badly, but I just found out friends of mine had to put their elderly cat to sleep this morning. Enough, already!

I prefer to think that the cat wanted to live to see 2009.
God knows, ::I:: did.
