Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

I'm going to come in tomorrow, but I'll be filling up my gas tank tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, midwest people! Stay inside!

Hey, does anyone still watch Life on Mars? I just walked by a bunch of old cars outside my neighborhood TV studio, and apparently that's what it's for. They were cool -- cabs and regular cars, and a VW bus.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Even though I'm upset with him right now, Obama is a cutie. I also love his girls and wife. Malia (is that the older girl?) is so beautiful, it's crazy.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The official portrait of our new president.

(1) I got teary. Less than a week, people!!! (2) How cool is it, that this is the first presidential portrait taken with a digital camera?

On the pronunciation of Cinncinati, if it is anything like the Missouri/Missoura debate, the ones who turn the "i" to an "a" tend to be more Southern in accent. Most people I know in Missouri say Missouri. The Missoura people are usually from Texas or someplace else. Or from the southern part of the state.

Actually, I would guess that the Cincinnat-uh people have Appalachian roots.

Yes! I watch Life on Mars. I am anxiously awaiting new eps. I watched the UK version, which I loved. I very much like the US version, too. It's been long enough that I don't remember a lot.

Neat!

Aw, Taylor's mom made me a little bead bracelet and sent over a really sweet note.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

The Missoura people are usually from Texas or someplace else. Or from the southern part of the state.

Yes, this. I still say Missoura just to see who reacts. Same with Arkansawyer instead of Arkansan. And Mississippi only has three syllables, "Mi-sipp-i."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I say Missoura too, but it's complete pretension. I do attempt to do N'Awlins decent justice, though.

Is it Cokie Roberts on NPR who says Missoura? I always notice it when she does.

I got beat in a geography bee in fifth grade by a native Louisianan who pronounce Louisiana "Loo-see-an" and thus finished before my "Loo-wee-see-an-uh."

Why do I remember that??

OK, when you see cabs outside the Drake hotel (?), know that that's right by my house.
