I don't think the bat bombs were ever deployed.

ION, apparently I will never ever ever get my laptop back from the repair place. I'm having DTs, man!

Damn, there are all these fucking cop cars on my street. And a fire truck. And when I pulled in, I passed an ambulance.

I live across from a high school, and apparently there was a fight during the basketball game, and people got pepper sprayed, and they pulled a gun off someone, and I don't even know. What the hell, my neighborhood.

Good swim. Bad shower. Involuntary sneeze had me inhaling a faceful of shampoo suds. Very effective in clearing out the nasal passages and lungs, but also? Very painful and had everyone asking if I was gonna be ok. Sounded really bad, apparently.

But I'm used to these sorts of reports. Sadly.

Haiti reports are so bloody sobering. Huge earthquakes are never good, but in some places, so very much worse.

I'll join the Craig Ferguson club. From those clips, Letterman's best stuff was about Carson Daly.

Nail Polish question... Anyone see the OPI Hong Kong Collection IRL? [link] Cause I think the green might be The One.

My freezer has some venison (Bob's dad is a hunter), pork shoulder, various veggies, nuts, ice packs, turkey stock, some chicken breasts, some sort of soup.

Still want, damnit: [link]

ita, are you around? I just emailed you a link to a picture of a half-naked David Tennant wearing glasses. I saw it and thought (among other things) of you.

me too, sara! Preferably in red! But I'm gonna wait and try to save up on it.
