Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need new jeans in the worst way, but it's so hard to find anything that's not super low rise skinny jeans right now.

Yes.

Which are fine for some circumstances I guess,

But no. I tried on some the other day that were really close to working, except when I sat down and my entire ass crack was exposed. And not in a cute way.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Conclusion: I think being attacked by zombies is more probable than my becoming a world-class athlete.

In my case I know that's true. The fact that I don't want to become a world-class athlete probably figures into this.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Olivia and I were leaving the gym when the steering wheel froze up and the vehicle vomited pink, oozing power steering fluid all over the ground. Feh. Calling the tow truck and the dealership to cope.

Allyson, I'm sure there's a smart publisher out there that will give Sam a chance. And smart cute boy sounds...smart!

Because books.

Skinny jeans baffle me. I think they remind me too much of the Guess jeans from high school with the ankle zippers. Also, they don't look great unless you're a 0 and built like a twig.

Coding and Sleeping

Olivia and I were leaving the gym when the steering wheel froze up and the vehicle vomited pink, oozing power steering fluid all over the ground.

That sounds sub-optimal, I'm glad you're both okay.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

NASA concedes defeat in effort to free rover

The US space agency NASA has conceded defeat in its battle to free its Spirit rover trapped in the Sand on Mars.

The vehicle became stuck in soft soil back in May last year and all the efforts to extricate it have failed.

NASA says Spirit, which landed on the Red Planet ver six years ago, will "no longer be a fully mobile robot," and has instead designated the once-roving scientific explorer a stationary science platform.

Sad. But I wonder if I can call in to work tomorrow and say I can't come it because I've been designated a stationary science platform.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Are they going to rename it? It should be the Spirit stander now.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanks, Gud. Aside from the 17 degree temps, and wind, it's alright. We got a ride home so we're safe and sound. A friend is coming to watch Liv and get Owen off the bus while I go to meet the tow truck. I'm sure it's just the power steering pump.

How about dress Mr. Peabody up as a zombie and have him chase you around the yard?

He is usually the chasee.

When I was reading World War Z, I thought, "Mr Peabody would be an awesome anti-zombie dog."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

James O'Keefe, the 25-year-old who became a hero on the right by dressing as a pimp and filming himself and a female partner, Hannah Giles, exposing apparent malfeasance in ACORN offices, has gotten himself back in the news. This time, things aren't going quite so well for him: He and three others have just been hit with federal charges in an alleged plot to wiretap the phones in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.
