I am having a gooey brownie, with caramel and cherry pie filling on top. It is so trashy.

...the cherry pie filling makes it trashy? I'm guessing, just because the rest sounds perfectly cromulent.

Of course, my dinner was Whole Foods sushi, an orange, a chocolate chip cookie and one of those chocolate-covered-in-powdered-sugar cookies.

I guess. Cherry pie filling is a sexy fruit. It's trashy: an easy, cheap but sexy thrill that's bad for you anytime, but especially on a Sunday night.

smonster, move the wine! "Declutter!"

Hell, I'd "declutter" some wine with you if it weren't for the fact thath I must return to work tomorrow.

Now I want a brownie. I think I'l go to bed before our PM speaks.

smonster, move the wine! "Declutter!"

I have also gotten rid of a bunch of office supplies, computer cables, and greeting cards, and prepped 3 packages to mail (including yours!). Still need to pull the trigger on the resume and cover letter - tomorrow morning is my goal.

Man, the Miracle on Ice is never going to go away:

Fans at the Mets-Phillies game began chanting "U-S-A! U-S-A!" as the news of Osama bin Laden's death spread through Citizens Bank Park on Sunday night.

Tomorrow is great. I intone unto you in a soothing voice "Begin new ventures with the new sun, for new growth" or some shit.

You are kickin' ass, smonster.

I ate the brownie. I think I will ride the sugar high to put away laundry, then put away myself for the night!

Dang. I unplug from the Internet for long enough to eat a ton of Russian food and watch Perkins play slots and this is what happens? Yay free market, I guess.

Erin, for all that the technology changes, I'm not really sure that fundamental human nature does.

Yeah, and the practical aspect of a head on a pike in a pre-media world suddenly became very chillingly clear to me.

And the laundry is put away, and I will have a cute outfit tomorrow. Maybe I'll have a theme: Cut outfit days, last month of teaching.

On that shallow, shallow note, I am off to unplug. Good night, all.

From The Atlantic:

I asked a friend stationed in Islamabad what the neighborhood of Abbottabad where Osama bin Laden was killed is like. "It's actually a town outside of Isloo, maybe 1.5-2 hours away, depending on traffic," he emailed, using a nickname for Islamabad. "It's an old British military garrison town, a hill station. Quite nice. Heavy Pak mil presence."

So, basically Pakistan gave him up. I have a feeling this had more to do with State Department pressure than intel.
