Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
More confirmation it was a Navy SEAL strike. Which makes more sense since they recovered the body.
But dag, Pakistan must've known forever that he was right there two hours from Islamabad.
