I've got an overwhelming urge to get my hair cut today! I suspect I'd better act on it before my enthusiasm goes away.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

I'm watching Kitchens of the future videos on YouTube. I love the Monsanto PSA from 1957! Plastics!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm at work. Still groggy, and simultaneously wired from coffee. I am now far too talkative for my own good....
Also, got my W-2's so I can file my taxes now if I want.

I dreamed I left work after only an hour.
Unfortunately, I have too much to do.

I think my favorite thing about this one is how we still assume that In The Future, everyone will use videophones. As if the technology were still just beyond our grasp (as opposed to being completely available and mostly unused because it turns out people don't really want to communicate that way).

On my list of things to deal with today (non-work): make dentist appointments; buy life insurance. Boy, being an adult is fun.

Our wings are not tired.
I need to go to the office. I'd go in my jammies, but there are already other people there.
I want to file right away, but last year I couldn't file electronically until the 15th or something. Will look at that option again, when I get to the office.

I'm totally susceptible today. My mom just offered the dog a biscuit and I thought, "OH! I should make cookies!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because video phones are a nightmare! I mean seriously -- I took a call the other day from a subordinate, from my apartment, in my inside pants with my cat on my lap. And yet? I still seemed in charge, because she couldn't see me!
