DH leaves at 5:30 am tomorrow to go to the Detroit Auto Show for three days. In the afternoon I take the five-hour English CSET (which is useless for now, as it looks highly likely that they may not offer the program I want to enter) in the afternoon then go home and enter a coma. Sunday, house-cleaning, taking the dogs to the dog park and watching various saved movies on TiVo ("Pollyanna" here I come!).

An unexpected visitor during the weatherman's report.

Oh Jesse - we need a couple of things from Costco. Wondering when I could maybe go with you.

ION - I finally found the theme from "Come and Get It with Peter Russell Clarke" that I have been looking for (watched it nightly when I lived in Australia in 1987).

Whenever works for you, really.

OK. I am officially done working. I finally remembered that email works for all the follow-up calls I've been avoiding, had a meeting that devolved into a lengthy discussion of Oprah and weight and etc., and now I'm just done. DONE.

I wish I was done working.

Well, I may be done working, even though I am still at work, since I'm only poking around the internets.

Relatedly, Jessica Alba is looking not so good these days. [link]

I love the conversation the Fug Girls make her have with January Jones: [link]

Also, I am reminded how January Jones is the coolest name ever. She should be played by Pam Grier.

Weekend:
Tonight: Watch DVDs and have some cocktails
Tomorrow: Go to MiL's for homemade lasagna (she usually has it for Christmas Eve and freezes one for New Year's Day but we were out of town for CE and I was laid up on NYD so we get it now)
Sunday: Nothing - yay!

I'm trying to put together a list of all my DVDs so I'll have them for insurance purposes. It's actually pretty hard to recall exactly what's at home!! I think I'll print out this (definitely partial) list and then check it against my shelves. I should also update my Library Thing account with my book purchases of the past year. Oh, and come up with a similar list of my CDs while I'm loading them onto my MP3 player.

Now I've got my laptop, I can finally download my digital camera software on it and run around taking pictures of all my stuff for my renters' insurance. I read all these stories about people's houses/apartment buildings going up in flames (especially at this time of year), and freak out about my policy coverage.

OK, anyone know what's going on with the group of people behind Blagojovich in the picture with this article? [link] There's a man glaring at him, a woman clutching her purse, another woman wearing snow boots, a bored-looking toddler, and a baby lying face-down on the floor. Huh?
