The Mets brought their short game tonight. They have seven infield hits.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
Last-minute runs make me nervous. Phew. Mets win!

Just ran into something weird. WRT to the oil spill, talk from a Brit about how OMG anti-British sentiment in the US!! I was all buh? Not really seeing it or hearing it. Anti-corporation, anti-gov't, anti-moratorium (omg, parish or something president on NPR after the speech had one note and oy, fanatical!) sure. I go out looking in the media, and most of what I see is on British media sites, Brits bemoaning being slandered and their reputation being hurt and the random USian going buh? Not seeing it. In the US media, I saw an article referencing brit media's tempest, but more than that? NSM.
Seems mostly taken from the President referring to BP as "British Petroleum" which if you want to spin it for US audiences, was, if anything, meant to emphasize Petroleum given our psycho relationship with Big Oil. But apparently segments of the UK media are hearing the emphasis on British.
I'm just confuzzled. I'm sure there are loonies out there, but c'mon. BP is a multinational, third owned by US factions, at least. It's just weird.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's weird. A lot of British folk are complaining that all our BP-bashing is forcing BP's stock price down, which has the result of a lot of British folk seeing their pensions decline in value. So they see it as an attack on them.

But that would happen regardless Happened here to Enron, Exxon, etc. Maybe we in the US are more aligned to that being the nature of fortune.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, I just turned on the game, and NO GOOD for the Celtics. I can't watch.

My manicure is weirding me out. I normally do new fakes every 3 weeks, though I can go longer if I'm careful. But between not being careful and due for a new one while I am gone, did one tonight and went with the short version (because I didn't want to deal with filing them down) and now am typing with my actual fingertips, not nails. So odd.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
msbelle, peeking in to say Aidan does! And he just hit that edge of 7/8 slim suddenly, so now most of his pants are too short.

OK, just going through my mail (lots of flyers) and I've discovered that Loki's been shreading them. Mail comes through a slot at the bottom of the door, mailperson generally shoves it only halfway. Loki must like. Good thing most of my bills I now check and pay online (though I haven't actually cancelled the paper bill delivery.)
