Shocking news: Brett Favre is retiring!
Jayne: That's a good idea. Good idea. Tell us where the stuff's at so I can shoot you. Mal: Point of interest? Offering to shoot us might not work so well as an incentive as you might imagine.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If there is a press conference, I hope no one comes.
Something is going down at work today - it's not hitting me directly, but it could be adjacent. I can't tell if it is just verbal lashings or if people are going to be shifting. AM trying to keep my head down and plow through work.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Shocking news: Brett Favre is retiring!
ARGH. He lost so much goodwill from me (and a lot of the Packer Nation) last year with the whole damn faux-retirement thing. I was hoping he'd at least have a good run with the Jets to redeem himself somewhat.
Good luck, msbelle.

I phoned my landlord and it is just a walk through because she took over from her dad and it hasn't been done in about 20 years.
I think I should have time to put some order in the place first. I also mentioned some issues that have been ongoing for ages that they might want to look into. It's an old building and as such, has many issues, most of which I don't bother complaining about.

I just got off the phone doing a podcast about my Tom Waits tour for a Canadian newspaper. The National Post - is that a big paper, or an advertising giveaway out of Saskatoon?
In other exciting news: Little League Draft Last Night!
There was last minute drama, and trafficking in human children.
I traded one kid whose father was in the room, for another kid whose mother was in the room.
"You can't just trade my son!"
"Actually, yes. Yes, I can."
But I like my team. I had to walk a tightrope with my measley picks, hampered by Emmett's requirements that (a) I draft one of his friends and (b) I not draft one highly placed player that he didn't like. Sheesh. I pissed off one other coach because my last minute trade meant he didn't get a player he was expecting to get.
But I like my team a lot. After two months of planning and researching the draft I Billy Beaned Bigtime.

No, it's a big paper. Not as big as it wants to be, but what paper is? ETA: It's owned by a big media chain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Someone please tell me that the guy in charge of the tainted peanut plants will go to jail.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It sounds like it, anyway. I mean, he knew they were sending out tainted peanut butter. And people died.
