Also, randomly, since I had black tea today and am wired on caffeine....
I feel really strongly that all of the people 6 years ago who were waving the flag of "you're anti-patriotic" need to be called on the carpet for their b.s. about not supporting Obama. Like it or not, he is the president. Disagree with him sure. But a hitler mustache or a joker make up job is just so....I don't know... disrespectful.
His office should be owed an iota of respect and that just seems to not be happening.
I want someone on the right to be Ainsley Hayes (Haynes?)!
I'm watching last night's Daily Show and I just did a spit take with the Democratic Possum.
AP reporting that JD Salinger has died.
WTF, world? January is not good for famous people.
Have any Chicagoans ever watched or participated in the Chitidarod? It's a great idea--teams of five people pull a grocery cart along a route through the city and, at the finish line, have to have at least 40 pounds of food in the cart for food pantries. The rules page is very fun to read:
We have one, too, and it is fucking hilarious to watch.
ION, I spent 3 hours -- THREE HOURS! -- today fighting with my FTP client (Cyberduck). It worked wonderfully for years, and decided yesterday that it no longer likes our printing company's FTP site.
I gave up and downloaded a different program (OneButton FTP), which works just fine. Damn. That's half my day shot, and I haven't even picked up a manuscript yet.
It was actually at the press qa after.
ETA: The TP was at the QA, not talking to the students.
Man, they've locked down the mac so hard I can't follow their basic instructions to do shit like add printers. I'm just going to keep putting in individual helpdesk calls until someone gives me fucking root or at least unlocks the basic system prefs. Jeezus.
So sad about JD Salinger. I was just looking up info on both Salinger and Harper Lee two days ago.
I feel like I have reached the age where all that seems to happen is that people die. And I am only 36.
The Shiba's are sooo plump. I just want to eat them up. Or nibble their ears.
