I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I miss Chipotle. However, I ate so well in Portland this weekend, I can't complain. My favorite was possibly ziti with sea scallops, mushrooms, roasted garlic, and a smoke mozzarella sauce.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I will find an alternative fast food Mexican today.

In my last meeting there was a woman with fabulous comic book hair (yes, I think it would get longer when she flew), perfect eyebrows, and she was wearing a tie.

I haven't gotten around to wearing my tie to work yet, and now if I do, I'm going to feel like I'm copying her. Except! It's just a precedent. I should really let it go. Why did I bother wonder and worry that no one else wore denim skirts to work, if now I'm thinking I can't wear a tie because some other woman wore one first?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Are skinny ties for women back? It is the 80s again!

I always loved wearing my pink Oxford shirt with a skinny tie and loose-fitting khakis with my penny loafers, going for the full Chrissie Hynde combined with a dash of preppy. Just needed a really cool fedora to finish it off, which I was never able to find.

It was a big fat tie. I'm guessing it was her way of dressing business formal.

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

BREAKING: Daily Kos to Sue Research 2000 for Fraud

The moral of the story: People suck at making up random numbers.

I find the results of the investigation conducted by Grebner, Weissman and Weissman to be highly compelling and it confirms other oddities that I had detected in Research 2000's polling. Their report is worth reading in full, but one relatively obvious problem they identified was the unusual movement in Obama's weekly tracking numbers. In particular, Obama's favorability number rarely remained the same from week to week in Research 2000's tracking, instead almost always moving in one direction or the other by at least a point:

Compare this to Obama's weekly approval numbers in Gallup's polling, which resembled a far more natural and indeed fairly normal distribution.

Whoa, flashback. Swap out the penny loafers for black oxfords and I wore that outfit through much of high school. With the fedora even.
