Oh yeah, saw those. I love trips to D.C.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Or maybe I should go visit sporcle.com. Sporcle?
No idea where the name came from but there are quizzes on all sorts of topics: geography, history, language, TV, etc.
For geography and things like U.S. presidents the maps/lists are blank and if you put in a right answer they fill in where it should go. So you don't have to know the placement/order, but I try to do them in order to teach myself (when you hit "give up" you can see all the answers).

megan walker, I hereby assign blame to you for all the time I will waste at sporcle.com. So much fun. So, it's the good kind of blame, fwiw.
My brain doesn't function even half as quickly as it used to, I think. Files and Records needs to step it up. Perhaps sprocle will help with that. Ahem.

We had this book when I was in university and my roommate and I would entertain ourselves for hours reading aloud the craziest bits. (Ok, totally politics geeks, but still. Funny stuff.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
it really is a huge relief to have somewhere to go each day
Isn't it though? Plus, paid.
Kat, there should be a ban on anyone not living with a kid getting them musical instruments. And if you are living with them, there should be some sort of voting mechanism. Because...ow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am having the weirdest afternoon. Total fail on finding mac turtlenecks, none at jcp or old navy, guess I'll be shopping online, because I cannot manage macy's today. Now grabbing lunch at a southern styled place. They have buffalo chicken po boys on the menu, just no. Also no fried okra as a side, am sad. Also, they sat me in a non-empty room, but in a corner on the wall with a big flat screen, so everyone oin the room is facing me. I'm moving.

I learned this one while temping at an insurance agency and having to type out the list of countries where your travel insurance doesn't apply over and over and over and over again.

Is it my imagination, or has Whoopie Goldberg disappeared from the "If you want to sing out" phone ads (couldn't tell you for who, but Chevy Chase is in them too, and he's still there) since the Polanksi "rape-rape" brouhaha? Just a big coincidence?
