Only watching TV when it's shows with season passes on my TiVo is an excellent strategy, though
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

seriously.
my favorite quote on NPR this morning was something like, "there are very few undecided voters at this point, and anyone who is undecuded is unlikely to be watching a foreigh policy debate."
I wish I had more free time so I could volunteer in areas to drive people for early voting and just work on the GOTV in the poorer areas around us. Not that Texas is in play, but it could be a lot more purple that in is.

Looks like I picked the wrong election cycle to quit sniffing glue.
Damn, beat me to it.

Good god, I love Charlie Pierce:
My god, Romney actually said that America doesn't install dictators, ignoring the fact that we've had these problems with Iran for 60 years precisely because we overthrew an elected president and installed a friendly dictator whose rule was so bloodthirsty that religious fanatics ran him out, imprisoned our embassy officials, and gave Ben Affleck a chance 30 years later to direct a cool movie. Do we honestly have to count them all off? Somoza? Rios Montt? Pinochet? And, yes, Saddam Hussein. Romney sounded like he was taking history at one of those Jesus-on-a-dinosaur middle schools that "Bobby" Jindal has opened in Louisiana. And yet, this abysmal ignorance may not come to matter a damn.

I am not in pain or anything today, but OMG I just want everyone to STFU and go away. I printed out mandalas to color and I'm buying myself a set of colored pencils at lunch.
Annoying co-worker is loudly talking on the phone. Her work is VERY important. Also she has not slept. Only 1 hour last night and no nore than 5 hours in the last 3 days. There is not that much work in the universe on this stuff, I am pretty confident. IOW, she is annoying. I am starting to lobby to move my desk location.

This would be hilarious if it weren't also so incredibly depressing, that someone with such an abysmal knowledge of American history (and basic world geography) could be the next President.

ita ! I'm so sorry. I wish I could think of something else to say.
msbelle, I'm sorry you had a rough evening with mac. I hope today gets less annoying quickly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My back feels better this morning. I wore a heating pad for almost two days straight (the way I had it rigged up in my underpants probably looked like I had a load in my diapers) and that plus more Valium than I usually take seems to have finally settled it down. I'm going to England in three weeks, for nine days, with two vigorous young friends, and instead of being excited, I'm scared that I won't be able to stand and walk around long enough to keep up with them.
Sorry. I hate talking about being in pain, especially when those around me have it so much worse. I don't really know how to deal with this.
