Liese inspired me. I just emailed the sustainability people at the MTA. I got a ridiculous mailed response to an inquiry from them a few months back, it was like 4 pieces of paper and 2 envelopes and some of the paper was like specialty stock.
So I should email Apple about sending my Nano and it's extended warranty in two separate package, with two different courier companies. Not only was it ungreen, it was a pain in my ass. To be fair, the Nano came form Ontario, and the warranty came from Tennessee, but the warranty is a disk, can't they have a pile o disks in the place where they send out the Nanos?

I think I've talked myself back into going to the Inauguration. Just pray 95 and the teeny bit of 495 I might use aren't a clusterfuck. I'll be taking my map in case I decide to backroad it.
Of course, this means I need to gas up the car. At least it is supposed to be almost 40 on Sunday....with the gas door broken, I have a locking cap and it sucks to have to be that dexterous in the cold.

You should go, sarameg. You don't get these things back. Go early.

Well, the earliest I can leave is 7.
eta: basically, what changed my mind is Taylor. She needs to be there. I'll call her tomorrow and tell her it is a go.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
The world is officially insane -- you know the legislation that is out there to keep kids from being exposed to lead -- well, it isn't just going to effect ye old toymaker craftsman or clothing designer - but libraries
To ensure that children are not exposed to lead and phthalates, non-regulated items designed primarily for children--including books--will be subject to the same testing standards as toys or clothing. In a worst case scenario, school, academic and public libraries will be forced to either remove all children's books from the shelves, or ban children from entering libraries completely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lead causes brain damage, right? Do we seem noticeably smarter as a people since they stopped painting houses with lead paint?

Home from work. Am unthawing. My eyeglasses actually iced over like a car windshield this morning. Currently am deciding if I'm hungry enough to get out of bed and make a real dinner, or if I'm just going to microwave a Lean Pocket. Which I normally don't buy, but they were on sale.
