oh man. Someone woke up at 3:00 AM today and then I couldn't get back to bed. GR. ARGH.
Grace has a larynscopy and a bronchoscopy today (ugh) and I have to get this stupid anthology dealt with because it needs to be done by Friday and unfortunately I can't deal with the hospital and the copies at the same time. Then I have to go teach.
Hello. Over extended much?
Happy Birthday Fred!
Dang, I can't find a good picture of the sign in this shot:

To send to The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotes.
The sign being the:
Fort Stanwix
Tea Party
"Patriots"
Of course the person who runs the blog has probably already had it submitted about 400 times, because, hilarious.
Haven't had a chance to watch any of these videos, but they sound fun:
Everything is Terrible
Another blog sez this:
HOLY SHIT. I just discovered the website Everything Is Terrible (which should really be called Bad Touch Central, or Kill It With Fire, or maybe just I’m So Sorry Baby Jesus Please Make It Stop). JACKPOT. I kind of feel like a kid who’s just come downstairs on Christmas morning and discovered grandma giving Santa a hummer a living room filled to the brim with goodies.
A bit of background: long, long ago, I’d obsessively make bootleg VHS comps (later, DVDrs) of all of the funniest, awesomest, creepiest, most fucked up shit I could find, and share or trade them. Everything from Pinky the Cat to Sex Education For Trainables to obscure Italian giallo to The Terror of Tinytown to Death Bed to unsanctioned blooper reels to questionable commercials to Raping Steven Spielberg to crazy shit from foreign lands to “Blue Peanuts” to … well, you get the idea. It was this bone-deep, swap-and-curate compulsion that’s never really died.

Legend of Zelda Baby Outfit
I"ve never played the game, and yet I have a strange compulsion to make this.
Hey, I forgot that I hadn't announced it here - my sister Nora (who used to post here as RahRah) is pregnant, and is due in early December. I'm going to be an aunt!
Awesome commute -- I got on a non-air-conditioned car, ran into someone I know but don't really like, and almost missed my stop!
When I read this, I thought car == automobile an it made the post even more interesting. Jesse ran her car into somebody she didn't like? I think 'don't mess around with cowgirls' is the moral to that story.
Congratulations on impending aunthood Ouise!
I hate it when I think that I've done something and it comes to my attention that I haven't, because I thought I did it a year ago and now I don't remember how to do what I thought I did.

If I follow your sentence correctly, and I might not be, it sounds like what you did a year ago was put it off for another year.
Happy birthday, Fred!
