And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Maybe in "the future" we'll all have vidoephones, but there will be technology that optionally can make you look dressed all professional, sitting in a nice neat office

LifeShop, new from Adobe!

HA! I'd pay for LifeShop in general.

The only person I videoconference with is my mom and that's so she can see the baby. As she is here now, it means I rarely videochat anyone.

I want dessert. This is why I've gained a ton of weight.

the six-month-old cat somehow climbed

There's no somehow involved with six-month old cats.

A couple of remote coworkers join meetings by video skype. One of the reasons I will always be resistant to it is due to all the mocking that happens when the cat/wife/child/dog/neighbor appears in the background and procedes to do something hammy.

OK, work. Must do.

I am at the office. I have outside pants on, with sandals.

“Not dead yet!”

I am still in pajamas. Trying to work up the oomph to open my WIP word doc, but having difficulty, since I'm feeling very blah about publishing in general.

Then again, I do want to know what happens next.

ION, all of my food blogs are doing photo recaps of 2008 and it's making me hungry.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

We're about to have our Friday dinner, Jessica.

You should come.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I had a piece of cake for breakfast.
