My offices are both closed tomorrow. DH's office is technically open but I assume that's because NBC also broadcasts the evening news out of that building and those people will need to get to work somehow.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Awesome!ED texted everyone back around 3pm to make the call that we were not to come into work on Monday. So no anxiety of do I/do I not have to wake up early, or the quiet resentment that it's a "those with office jobs don't bother coming in, but my dept. has to" situation. If it had been Old!Evil!ED, the text would have read "you don't *have* to come in if you don't want to (but it will cost you a vacation day if you stay home)".

OMG that Sandy picture map is the BOMB.

In case anyone was wondering, for dinner I went with an arugula and pomegranate salad with onion, radishes, tomato, smoked Gouda, and turkey kielbasa.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was just coming by to post that Joss vid. Parkour!
I know Calli, but I think interest in the vid is being overwhelmed by the legitimate worries about Sandy's approach.

I'd eat salads with you any day, shrift. My usual (because I am that lazy) is simply baby spinach, strawberries, goat cheese, TJs balsamic vinegar dressing with a chopped up basil pesto chicken sausage (also from TJs.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah, NYC in particular could really use a measured response to an actual natural disaster. After the zero preparedness to the Christmas Blizzard (which wound up being a massive clusterfuck) and the over-preparedness to Irene (which wound up being a massive non-event), we just have no clue how this emergence preparedness thing is supposed to work
I really don't think we over-prepared for Irene. We're lucky it wasn't the hit it could have been... but if it WERE by the time we KNEW it would happen there wouldn't have been time for the 14 hour transit shut down process and what-not.
We're just so densely populated. It could be such a horror.

Your usual sounds pretty delicious. I only went fancy because I got arugula and pomegranates in my CSA yesterday. Last delivery of the season! I'll miss the greens, but I have such a stockpile of squash, apples, and pears that it'll take me quite a while to eat it all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Waste of the entire cast really. I really really liked the cast and was sad it was such an awful show.
At least they got to work in Hawaii for a season.

Frank, I'm so sorry for your loss. Much peace to your family.
Dear ita_!'s doctors, GIVE HER THE DRUGS.
Jilli, is this the con that might have drama?
Heh, heh, heh. Hey, look at that! The theme for next year's con is now "Around the World", with no mention of safaris anywhere! I wonder who or what finally changed the con organizers' minds.
