It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Always Anti-fascist!

I also hate the idea of a new, probably glam, PS. Because you know NBC wanted Jason Priestly to play Detective Munch and only Fontana's begging got Belzer.(I kind of hate Fontana, but I owe him props for that.) They also insisted on "Poochie" Falsone and his opening a bottle with his teeth... PROCEDURAL CREDIBILITY FAIL. Do not want.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Any Buffistas near 53rd/7th?

End of my block. The fire must be out because I'm seeing nothing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'm taking advantage of the long weekend to get five days off in a row, but I know I'm going to come back to a big bag o' crises on Wednesday. I just need to get away from work for a while, or I'm going to blow a gasket. My boss gave me my mid-year evaluation yesterday, and because I wasn't doing enough projects (?!) she gave me a couple "easy ones". Right. I work 12-hour days on a regular basis, woman, is that not enough?

OK, rant over. Carry on.

I'm taking advantage of the long weekend to get six days off in a row.

School is off until next Wednesday! I kind of feel like I should be doing so mething.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I very much want a vanilla coke (not pre-bottled). Pretty I can't get one anywhere around here.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, they were premiering the O'Keeffe piece in Santa Fe, but it wasn't until after we were gone.

I have Monday off, and whoo boy do I need it. It has been a rough week to start back to school. This year's schedule is kind of insane. We dropped one location, but the other two have jacked up to twice a week. Then we add on Thursday night rehearsals and Saturday night performances for the new rock & roll church. That plus we're still doing the second job teaching music for pay on Thursday afternoons & Saturday mornings. And now our kiddoes are coming more regularly Saturday morning.

So there is literally not one day of the week where we're not expected to be somewhere doing something. We may need to drop Sunday morning church, but I don't want to because it's the only place we're not doing traveling music school work. Our kids have been coming up to the Saturday night service, so we want to encourage that, but it makes that ministry and not chill time.

I liked it better when we did the week by week schedule. The travel was crazier, and I'm happy to be in my own bed every night now, but I'm the sort of personality who doesn't love routine, and weekly routines were good enough for me.

Anyway! The point is, yay for Monday off!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I called my cable company to question the billing. The surly CS rep blew off my question: Was I getting charged for two DVRs or cable boxes? (We only have 1 DVR.) I was pissed and tweeted about it. Charter's twitter folks swooped in, offered to review my account. Sure enough, I've been charged for an additional converter box for a YEAR. He refunded $60 to my account and removed an annoying $1.99 fee.

Does anyone know where to find cool, cheap license plate frames? The Internet has everything; it has to have them. The best I can find is this cow print. And perhaps this zebra print. I could do one in the back and one in the front for a black-and-white theme. But there weren't many good choices; I was disappointed. Where is my Veronica Mars license plate frame, you know?

Also, what is the point of a license plate frame anyway?

P-C, I shopped for mine...oh, a decade ago...at Hot Topic, and got a nifty "Invader Zim" frame that says "STUPID HUMANS" around the edges.

Doesn't help you much, but...well, (shrug)
