Ack at that Open thing. I want to check Jezebel and see how they're handling it.

People, with the emails and not enough information...stop it. I am not awake enough for this.

PANIC!!!

Six cans: That's the sum total of the 100-Percent Pure Pumpkin inventory at Libby's, the company that dominates the U.S. market.

With pumpkin-planting season about three weeks away, you could get ready to grow your own. But the best bet might be to start praying for sunshine in pumpkinland, or central Illinois, source of nearly 95 percent of all American-grown pumpkins that are commercially prepped, cooked and canned.

By harvest time late last summer, after three growing seasons with too much rain and not enough sun, the rich Illinois soil could take no more. Tractors got "buried up to their axles in mud," said Libby's spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn, "and we couldn't harvest all the pumpkin we had grown." Well before Thanksgiving, the company had dispatched its last shipment, a disappointing end to a second year of shortages. Most other brands grown and processed in the same area soon ran out as well.

BINAO: Michael Vaughn or Derek Morgan

Damn. Is Vaughn going to dress up like a fallen priest? Because I might have to pick him. If there are no costumes, Derek. Okay--romantically Vaughn, platonically Derek. Because Derek doesn't do any woman too many times.

DINAO: Tobias Hankel or George Foyet

Isn't death totally an option with Foyet? Well, more like mandatory? I'd have to vote like Vortex and choose Tobias.

Pumpageddon!

I just found out that a coworker got a job at the library of one of the larger wind farm companies, which has its HQ here in Chicago. Nice to know there are jobs out there.

I'd have F Mark Harmon (my crush on him goes back to his St. Elsewhere days), M David Tennant (with that accent, hell yeah!), and C Richard Dean Anderson, sadly.

I'm fairly new to MS Project - one of my work goals this year is to get more involved in scheduling. Today, big boss man, whose office is near mine but rarely talks to me, brought me a pdf of a schedule he wanted put into Project. I think I did ok. I just sent him the file, but he is on a conference call. I hate waiting to see if he has any issues - it was pretty straight forward. I think.

Last night Kelly and I mentioned we wanted pie. Within a couple of minutes CJ was on his bike, headed to the store. I guess he wanted pie also.

BINAO: Michael Vaughn or Derek Morgan

Derek. We are just talking dirty sex here, right? Not True Love?

DINAO: Tobias Hankel or George Foyet

Ummmm....I have to? Tobias.

Well, pumpkinland got stormed on last night and will again later today, so the rain thing isn't starting out well.
