Don't use the vanilla vodka!

I figured...

Drink it instead.

Everyone wants to buy copies of Aretha's awesome hat! [link]

And he thinks his wife is really, really nifty.

And his wife indulges him wryly.

I have to go do vehicle emission testing tomorrow. Bah. I'm always a little superstitious when visiting the MVA for this task because it is entwined in my memory with the Columbia disaster. I woke up that morning and was listening to the news when it was first announced, and spent the entire time in line crying, listening to the radio. And remembering Kalpana Chawla describing seeing the reflection of the Earth in her own eye as she looked out the window . That image grabbed me and stuck. And that she got to experience that.

One of the things I liked about Aretha's hat was that it looks warm, and she was the only one who had the sense to acknowledge it was cold. Does no one remember William Henry Harrison?

eta: After I described my advanced keyboard klutziness, I want outside to see what the dog was barking at and tripped. Sigh. The only saving grace is that after all those years of karate, I did a textbook roll. My leg hit something, though, that feels like it's going to be a very big bruise.

More proof of his Buffista spirit babyhood. I distinctly remember the first time MM talked about Aims, long before she'd even begun to think about delurking; he was comparing notes with another smart/geeky/hyper-witty Buffista (IIRC, the sadly departed Phill) and they both described similar antic riffs on their own part followed by identical wry, indulgent, endlessly patient "Yes, again" looks on the faces of their SOs.

I am becoming quite expert at using the computer with no left mouse button, but I can't figure out how to close out of anything, which is kind of a bummer when I keep opening things by accident! Oh well -- at least the pointer is behaving itself, at least....

I can't figure out how to close out of anything,

In Windows? Ctrl+F4 or Alt+F4

Can you re-map the mouse buttons?

Ooh, thanks, dcp. I don't really want to do much, on the assumption that all will be well in the morning or after I play with alcohol or something.

Ginger, Keith Olbermann does. I would say he is next in line with Obama as Famous Buffista Spirit Baby, but if he really posted here, I'd be wondering if my font looked fat.

TiVo grabbed me Beauty and the Geek. Oh, god. The humanity.
