Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Weekend: Recovering, maybe Whip It, and going to a party in the burbs, which I'd rather not go to.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Weekend: tournament, friends' Sukkah party, hopefully some time to actually recover from week of stress and hell and misery.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Wow. I'm glad I didn't go down to Daley Plaza.

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

Yeah. If you go to the front page of MSNBC [link] there's this photo all all these Chicago folks with looks of shock on their faces.

And queue the right wing blathering "Obama can't do anything right, not even get the Olympics for his hometown" in 3..2..1..

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

megan, I had a dream that you were calling me, but I couldn't pick up the phone because I was in a lecture, but i was really worried about you in the dream.

That is all.

That made me envision an Olympic stadium with a huge "WELCOME, FUCKOS!" banner hanging over the entrance.

"Just eat a muffin, Whitey!" could replace "Faster, Higher, Stronger."

I love both these ideas!

I'm happy Rio got it
1) because of it already being in London in 2012
2) because of my general issues with Madrid (home of ascot man)
but mostly
3) because my coworker who works in Spanish would probably never shut up about it if Madrid had won out.
