Hey! Who doesn't want to work today? Yeah, me either! But alas, my desk is a mess from being at a workshop for the last 2 days. I have arranged 4 piles on my desk, plus my in-box - in addition, I have 3 sets of info to organize and get to my boss. So, 8 things I like to address today. I will give myself a break after I complete each one! THAT IS THE PLAN! JOIN ME IN SMALL REWARDS TO GET THROUGH THE DAY!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Can't we just play hooky instead? That sounds like the better option.

Happy Friday the 13th, y'all!
Allyson, that rant was a thing of beauty.

So the Mayor of Newark, Cory Booker, ran into a burning building and saved a woman's life.
Whoever wants to run against him in 2014 better start looking for some lepers to heal.

Monday is Emancipation Day in DC. Parade, festival, fireworks. Unfortunately, we have to work.
And, in random news, my mother once worked with the Strauss's ... grandson, I believe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I already had a cookie for second breakfast, which maybe I should have put off as a reward, but whatever. I have one main thing to do today. I have already done several small things.

I love these quotes from Cory Booker:
The mayor said, "Yesterday, all my problems were really big to me. Today things feel a lot more clear," Booker said. "And I have a lot more respect for firefighters!
"As my chief staff and others were teasing me, I'm ill-equipped to do firefighter union negotiations - 'These guys, give them everything!'"

Aw, another reason to love Cory Booker. And I've seen "Brick City" I thought I knew them all.(Wirefiends especially should see "Brick City")

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have not seen Brick City but if you want to (a) fall in love a little bit with Cory Booker and (b) feel like The Wire let politicians off too easy, see Street Fight.
