Thanks to Burrell, I just read the New Yorker's endorsement of Obama, which I found calming.
538 is looking better and better for Obama again.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I find that slightly calming too, though I was a lot happier when it was 85% instead of 70%.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have been running the data centre woman ragged (we go live with the new servers this weekend), and I just asked her for new servers, so we could upgrade mid-December. She flipped her nut. Why did we waste all this time spinning up virtual servers if you're just going to replace them two months later??? Uh, because that's the project plan? You really want us to install 64 bit 2008 on top of 32 bit 2003, or you want us to stay at 2003?
She immediately cc-ed my boss and manager like I was making up a need for 6 servers.I must have quite the reputation as a rogue business analyst, swooping through the data centre when no ones looking, and deploying wildly, but out of sight of the law.

Puppy inn bed with you or mac?
Ack, no. Bad idea. Dog must be cratable, and should not get in the habit right away of sleeping with people.

Yeah, I'm not a dog person, and our dogs always slept with us. Crating was unheard of.

Announcement: I could not love Andre Braugher any more. Literally. He has decimated my heart.

He took 10% of your heart?
(Sorry, sorry.)
(Not a whole lot, though.)

I couldn't think of any other disputed words to throw in there on short notice.
Every time I get on a plane, and they say "We'll be taking off momentarily," I think of that scene in Sports Night where they say "Momentarily means both 'for a moment' and 'in a moment.'"

I always forget that "presently" and "disinterested" don't really mean what they seem like they mean.
And yet I get paid to edit. Stand back and marvel at that shit.

Let me make everyone's night a little surreal with the best damn headline I've read in a LONG time: Shark Falls From Sky Onto California Golf Course.
This is why I don't golf, yo. Because shit like that happens.
