"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So I went to check 538 and they're saying: Dems will lose the House (expected in a mid-term, in down times); Dems will retain the Senate; Brown will beat Whitman for Gov of Cali; Boxer beats Fiorina for Senate.

I can live with that.

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

So if Republicans take the House but not the Senate,will they still need to rely on "2nd Amendment remedies"?

Well, good news is that when I traipsed across my neighbor's porch roof, she was sound asleep and knew nothing of it. Of course, she wouldn't have known if I hadn't apologized for potentially freaking her out. Best news is that she found it completely hilarious and told me anytime.

Find it amusing he remembers people. When she came out while we were "walking" he dragged me down the block to run up to her and basically leapt into her arms.

Long day today. I must not be sleeping well, have had 2 afternoons where I was pretty much falling asleep at my desk, complete with the heavy limbs and jerk-awake thing. Uhg.

I expect they'll have to content themselves with blocking all judicial nominees.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Creepy pheromone fucker. I think I liked how he smelt more than I liked him.

I developed a HUGE crush on a guy I worked with once because he smelled like my ex who smelled amazing. I really had to keep reminding myself that I wasn't interested in this stranger AT ALL, I just missed my ex's skin.

I feel like I'm letting some side down by wearing black and grey.

You are supporting my side, YAY!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Since they'll only be down half of Congress, maybe they can cut that in half and bring out the 1st Amendment remedies. Except that amendment doesn't seem to play so well with the Tea Partiers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Also, and I'm just saying, but I'm pretty sure my future husband (TBD) will enjoy the costume on its own.

That's a given.

(I have a friend who bought Batman underwear just to amuse me. Seriously a friend, not The Boy. And the friend dropped trou to show me the undies. I have never laughed so hard in my life.)

bring out the 1st Amendment remedies. Except that amendment doesn't seem to play so well with the Tea Partiers.

The 1st Amendment? What part of the Constitution is that in?

Something weird in the mail: I got a prepay master card from something called Achieve. Near as I can guess, it has no money on it, the idea is I load it at a local business that services these thing (legit businesses, CVS and Giant) and use as a sort of debit card. But 1) I never signed up for anything like this and 2) it's not associated with any of my banks. So all I can guess is it is a fishing expedition of some sort? Not particularly nefarious or illegal, just weird?

I'll do some more research, but I can just shred it and never activate it and it'll all be good (and check my credit annually, too.) eta: definitely a fishing expedition to accrue fees.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Let me distract you then, Cash, by noting that San Francisco is having a roller derby Halloween event called Trick or Beat Down.

Oh, those B.A.D Girls know how to party. I'm jealous and wish I could be there.

I took a nap when I got the kids home from swim lessons tonight. But I have a ton of stuff to do before the first of our two Halloween parties tomorrow.

I *really* do not like being sent unsolicited cards in the mail that could be stolen. Freaks me the fuck out.
