The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Seriously--she ended a strike, saved a season.
NYT has a profile of her.

NPR is reporting that Obama is going to nominate Sonia Sotomayor.
And the Prop. 8 decision is today, right?
The internets are going to collapse under the weight of political wankery.

NPR is reporting that Obama is going to nominate Sonia Sotomayor.
She's a demographic gem of a nominee. It will be interesting to see how the political theater works out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In random news, I ended up poaching the ancient frozen chicken breasts and making them into salad, and they were just fine!

poaching the ancient frozen chicken breasts
This sounds like you went all Indiana Jesse on an ancient temple of a chicken worshiping tribe that has become lost to the ages in the frozen wastelands of the arctic. Maybe that's just me though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So, is the Tuesday after a three-day weekend worse than a typical Monday? or not?
So far, my Tuesday has been better than a typical Monday....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is sending "thank you" emails after phone interviews too much? Not that I can, since I don't have the email addresses of the people I spoke to. Just wondering if it was done. Maybe I should have sucked up more and asked...
No point over secondguessing that. Still wonder if it's done.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Sotomayor is officially Obama's pick for the Supreme court.
She's Latina, brilliant, and has years of experience on the Federal Appeals court. The Republicans can huff and puff but she'll go in. She's 54 years old. Huh. She's only five years older than me.
