Isn't there some way to leverage wasting time into a career?

Yes. Reality shows. You will an attention-grabbing sex tape to get you started, though. I'm happy to consult for you on this matter.

I need more sleep. This is just not working for me. I'm not getting to sleep before midnight, and I need more sleep.

May be time to switch back to Ambien from Lunesta, but I wasn't missing the gibberish periods Ambien causes.

tommy, I think the timing would be a little difficult - you could conceivably, maybe bolt through an entire year's RCIA in the next few weeks just in time to get communion, confession and confirmation at this year's Easter vigil (your parents had you baptized at some point, didn't they? Only one of those to a customer, so you'd just skip ahead to the next steps), but getting from there to ordination to cardinality is kinda no-cuts-allowed, and since the current guy is retiring in two and a half weeks they'll probably have managed to choose a successor at least a couple days before you can claim your hat and crook and declare your candidacy.

And, sadly, you still have a better chance of being the next Pope, or any Pope, than I do.

Oh, well, seize the day, right? Can't do anything about the fact I can't do anything, so I'm just going to have a damn good day.

Yes! That is what snow days are for!

Yay, woo woo nurse!

We do not have snow. We have the dreariest rain you can imagine. I did, however, just see a bluebird.

Re: naming the moons of Saturn

The names they propose [link] include three rivers, a place and a coin. Aren't they supposed to be people's names? I could go with Cerberus, as the gatekeeper to Hades, but rivers? Of the list, the people who have been to Hades, making them more appropriate companions to the god of the underworld, are Eurydice, Orpheus and Persephone. It seems strange to me that Persephone hasn't been used already. I'd think she deserves more than a large rock.

None of her friends have a rock this big.

I'd give you my Pope vote if I had a Pope vote to give. I'm not sure why one needs a penis for poping. Do you capitalize pope when using it as a verb? I'm not sure about that.

JZ--Yeah, it seems my plan is not terribly feasible.

It would probably be easier to start my own religion and become Pope of that. I think I'll practice by ordaining my cat.

My cats would like to sign up for that. You have at least 2 furry acolytes in Cincinnati.

Can one of them be a Bishop-cat and head up my Ohio diocese?

I think Toke should be the bishop-cat.
