I was in the middle of painting my nails when someone pointed out to me that a thing I thought was due at the end of the month actually had to be sent in today. Oops.

It's Yawning Appreciation Day, and I can't stop celebrating!
Said yawning is being accompanied by an "OMG, I'm soooo tired" splitting headache, so I think I'll be leaving here at 5:00 instead of 6:00. Maybe after I feed the cat, I can lie down for a short nap.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The average young American now spends practically every waking minute — except for the time in school — using a smart phone, computer, television or other electronic device, according to a new study from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Those ages 8 to 18 spend more than seven and a half hours a day with such devices

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Clearly they don't have desk jobs.
A co-worker signed onto Netflix during a requirements gathering meeting today to demonstrate their list re-ordering functionality. First off, how did I not know you could drag and drop movie titles around the lists? Duh! Also, he had 9 movies in his list. Now that I've cleared my streamable ones out of the DVD list, I have 385. Thank dog no one asked me to log in. The shame.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Haiti Rescuers Deliver Newborn On Aircraft Carrier
The newborn was then named after the aircraft carrier.
Three-day-old Vinson is one of the youngest survivors of the Haiti earthquake. His mother escaped the earthquake and spent three days waiting to be treated by a Port-au-Prince hospital, before going into labor in a rescue helicopter on the way to the U.S.S. Vinson, the baby's namesake.

Wow, Vinson is lucky he wasn't born on a ship with a worse name. Vinson isn't so bad.
So, I am fighting the bitter desire for schadenfreude. See, an ex got laid off a couple weeks ago. Which i was only minorly enjoying. But then I found out Monday night that shed actually gotten FIRED. Which was soooo much more fun to think about her deserving. Only she got a new job today, one that sounds even freaking cooler. Like, working at a video game developer cool. I got no time to enjoy her misery that she brought upon herself by doing something stupid to get fired! (that was the story I heard). Hrmph.
