Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh, my. Maddow's interviewing Blagojevich right now, and she's looked on the verge of breaking down laughing repeatedly. I can't blame her, I'm giggling at his invocation of Mother Theresa myself.

"Like Mother Theresa, I too make it a point never to display my naked forehead."

I sort of wish everyone would deny Blago the forum he seeks. OTOH, he's doing a fair job of turning himself into a parody in those forums. He's crackers.

I hope they do it per Lucy holding the ball for Charlie Brown.

Aaand, I think I just convinced myself to refer to Blagojevich hereafter as "The Great Pumpkin".

My company's new policy is that the office is closed if B'more City schools are closed. It makes listening to the school closings exciting again!

One third of all High Fructose Corn Syrup is contaminated with Mercury.

Who the hell manufactures this stuff, Pentex?

In other news, Sarah Chalke looks ten times cuter in the restrained makeup that passes for "no makeup" on TV.

Oooh, lisah, you got screwed today! (Just about everyone but City schools was closed.)

My work is determined by the head of facilities. Who has 4WD. Which I point out to him everytime I slide on our slalom of a road on a fucking liberal leave day. I loved pointing that out to him the day there were 3 totalling accidents and a high level person fell on the steps and blew her knee. We haven't had a day like that since, so we'll see how he does. He's one of those macho bastards. Jerk wasn't inclined to close the place when we lost a/c and were having brownouts and were straining the UPS. The director shut us down.

Well, I think they may have just figured out the policy today. Besides it wasn't that bad out there and I did actually have work to do that I couldn't have done at home. I've got my fingers crossed for tomorrow, though! And, although I have once again failed to buy salt, my neighbor had a bag and she lent me a cup so my Danger Steps are ice free.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

much like the solved (or IS it?) toy boat fetish mystery.

Wait, it was solved?!?!?! HOW DID I MISS THIS?? I have SO been talking the toy boat mystery up to some friends and now I find out it's been SOLVED?!?! Hook me up here, people!

Me, too. The Boy is obsessed with it, and if he finds out I missed the answer by skipping and skimming, he'll kill me.
