I'm totally doing that, Sue! Thanks for the link. I went to a IRL Jeopardy test a few years ago and the test questions are SO much harder than the TV show questions. But I was close!

I used to get emails from someone I didn't know. Pictures of her kids. I knew just enough people by her first name that I wasn't sure at first. Eventually , they stopped.

My forearms are getting sore from typing.

Paging ita - my workplace has an ergonomic self-analysis thingy. [link]

Apologies in advance for the spinning mascot thingy. If you don't want or have time to do the walkthrough, click on "Office Ergonomics" on the left.

I used to keep the list of keyboard shortcuts open in a tab, b/c they cut down on the hand pain that mousing causes me.

The first thing I'm going to do after I lose my weight after surgery is to try out for Jeopardy.

Well, the second. The first thing after I get down to 300 pounds (next Christmas if everything works out well) is to start planning my first ever trip abroad, to England, hopefully for summer 2011. By the time I go, I'm hoping to be down to at least 230, which will be where I was when I was 16 years old.

That bear is the Rasputin of bears.

Right? I mean bullets bounce off his face. And we're not talking a peashooter with a .44.

Jeez, I stumbled onto a Tim Burton interview on Charlie Rose (it's about his exhibit at MoMa) and Charlie Rose is such an annoying, fatuous fuck. They had the museum people on and they were interesting, and Tim Burton is interesting and Charlie Rose...well, he's a fatuous fuck. I hate him. He asks shitty questions that are filled to the brim with stupid, conventional, dumbfuck notions. Why does he get to talk to interesting artists?! He doesn't know shit from shinola.

Steampunk kitchen! In Paris. I would like to live there please.

Thank you for computers, and a back space that erases things, and spell check.

Really. Back in olden times, what did they do when a cat walked on a typewriter keyboard?

ION, the Second Amendment doesn't really guarantee the right to bear arms - a cat walked on the parchment while they were writing it.

Kathy, those sound like very inspirational goals! Go you!

Well, if someone has your address erroneously in their contact list, they'll send something else soon enough.

If I get another message, I'll write back.

Sarah Palin to Join Fox News Network

I'd have to bone up on various subjects before trying out for Jeopardy, namely geography (at which I'm quite bad), opera/classical music, botany, and math.
