From the AP story.

AP Newsbreak: SC gov 'crossed lines' with women

South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford declared his Argentine mistress his soul mate Tuesday but said he is committed to reconciling with his wife in hopes of saving his family and what is left of his political career.

Sanford, who also admitted meeting his lover more times than he had previously claimed, told The Associated Press in emotional interviews that he "crossed lines" with a handful of other women during 20 years of marriage.

I can't help but think that declaring that your mistress is your soul mate is not the best way to start reconciling with your wife.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yet again, I'm so thrilled to live in such an enlightened part of the country: Paleontologists Visit the Creation Museum.

The article doesn't mention how many paleontologists died from the aneurysms that blew out as they tried to not throttle the Creationists.

Looks like Coleman has conceded. Yay!

The thunder here was so awesome I could feel it in the floor.

That juxtaposition of posts is AWESOME.

Ah, the creation museum. A monument celebrating ignorance.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Why can I only find the brand of chicken we prefer in giant bags of parts(i.e., giant bag of thighs, giant bags of breasts) or whole, uncutup chicken? For two people that's a big hassle.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

For two people that's a big hassle.

Yeah, we have that problem too.

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

Lenovo tweaks the keyboard. I thought it had been debunked that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to slow typists down. What's the real deal?

I wish someone would wash my car regularly. It gets filthy sitting under the tree. Damn thing mists sap everywhere.

Bought a mattress set. Delivery Friday. I guess this means Friday morning I'll be moving my old bed into the other bedroom. Guess I need to tackle that room.

Dinner time.

I just discovered another dietary trigger. And I have tons of that food left over. Yay, metabolism.

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

I've spent a lot of time in line at the post office since I joined bookmooch. It's kind of amazing that you can hand a package (and some money) to a stranger in Durham, NC, and it'll end up going to someone you specify in Japan. There's a million wrong places and people to whom it can go, but odds are it'll get where I asked.

Loki just tried to steal my pita & hummus and managed to get hummus and tzatziki EVERY.FUCKING.WHERE! He's currently washing his paw off and making faces. Good thing he's cute b/c he's currently being quite the little PITA. Attacking the cherry tomatoes, trying to bury a dish and knocking food on the floor, getting underfoot....
