There was another one? Good lord.
After the Falcons scored a field goal, they recovered the onside kick (through this really bizarre pile-up where no one would move and refs were basically having to bodily move players off the pile). Part of the reason the final minute took so long is because Payton called a timeout *just* as they kicked, so he could see which formation they were going with, which doesn't seem quite fair to me.
Anyway, with like 10 seconds left they tried a Hail Mary, and Sharper picked it off before the end zone.
(WHO DAT?)
I'm wearing my Jilli boots today--granny boots with ribbon laces. I know the proper Jilli thing to do would have been to replace the black ribbons with pink ones, but I'm sticking with what shipped. Felt like a match for the long black velvet skirt, although my top isn't the least bit gothlike. I so overdress for my department, but I can't work out the female equivalent of chinos.
I've finally pulled out Ray, the trusty light box.
Hee. I never named my light box...but considering how many years it has gotten me through dark days, I should throw it a party.
Last year was an anomaly though. Didn't pull it out once. So far this year, there has been sufficient light. I wonder if I've outgrown SAD. Nah. Remind me I asked that in the middle of December.
Thans for the recap, Dana. My recording cut off before the field goal, though I inferred that from the final score. Craziness. And good for Sharper, he was on the hunt.
Okay, has anyone seen Battle of the Blades? I heard about it on NPR and now I'm obsessed with trying to see it (can't get to youtube at work).

I've been trying to avoid it, Kat. CBC should have it online, but if you can see it outside of Canada, I don't know.
I must say it's hard to get excited about voting when the candidates for the two positions are running unopposed.
In mememe news, I've finally decided--I've got an appointment with my doctor on Thursday to talk to her about lap-band surgery. I told myself I wasn't going to do it, that it was the easy way out and mutilation of my body, but I'm getting way too big and having problems, so I have to do something. Insurance will cover surgery, but not a diet-food progam that I can't afford to purchase on my own, so I'm going with that.
Here's hoping that I can lose enough weight next year so I can at the very least be able to fly without having to buy two seats (which is why I don't fly Southwest). That's only about half of what I want to lose, so it'll take me a few years to get down to my target weight. Maybe by the time I finish my MLS I can be at a weight where I feel comfortable with job interviews again.
Insurance will cover surgery
Awesome! (I don't know, all I've been hearing about lately is stuff insurance WON'T cover, so it's good to hear they actually cover important procedures every now and then.)
