"Rabbits rabbits rabbits" just makes me think of that Spaced "Art" episode, that finished with Daisy doing performance art saying "rabbits rabbits rabbits" over and over again.

Lunch was the cafeteria's version of London Broil (actually, not too bad--the cut of beef wasn't too tough this time). Then I got back to my desk and spent the past ten minutes being sent from department to department in the Florida legislature, only to get absolutely no help from the person I ended up speaking with. Feh.

Here in Illinois, our equivalent of "upstate" is "downstate," composed of everything outside the six counties in and around Chicago, including those areas that are technically west of us but are "downstate" nonetheless.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In NC we refer to "down east," which seems to be pretty much all of the coastal areas, whether or not they're south as well as east of the speaker.

I just found out that the son of a friend has been exposed to a kid on his softball team that's been positively diagnosed with Swine Flu.

My co-worker is a on sports team with someone who's daughter had it. Which I discovered the day I came down with my cold.

And successful launch of Atlantis!

I was very very tense up to the point they jettisoned the boosters. I wasn't the only one. It was really cool to watch it on a huge screen with all my coworkers. You could hear the collective inhale when the main engines ignited.

Challenger left its mark. And come landing, it'll be Columbia's mark.

Punishingly Intricate

And successful lauch of Atlantis!

Woot!!!

Oh, man, speaking of swine flu possibly, I saw the STUPIDEST thing yesterday. My neighbor riding her bike wearing a face mask but NO HELMET! Idiot. I don't know her but if I'd been close enough I seriously would have said something (even though it's none of my business ha!).

Oh, msbelle! My neighbor (not the stupid one, the antique dealer) re-covered the part of the bench that had the rip with black vinyl and sold it almost immediately! (Turns out she has a space in an antique mall in the neighborhood.) The girl who bought it was going to put it on lay-away but she checked her bank balance there at the store and decided she could take it right away. She was that excited about it! So, YAY! it's gone to someone who will love it. And raised money for charity! I told her I'd bring her the chair by after my ride, if that's okay with you, sara.

No problem, it's just sitting in my basement, keeping the cleaning supplies company.

Emmett's reading The Outsiders now; I'm waiting for him to finish it so I can tell him to stay gold.
