Boo, I feel like a bad daughter. My sister & I were going to Macy's today. Now it's my sister & my mother & I. Argh. It means we're not going into the city, and we'll spend most of our energy managing our mother.
Sigh.

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.

Way to go Fox (local affiliate, not Fox News). While the president was being sworn in they were showing a commercial for duct tape, and cut in just in time for the last bit.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
"Barack H. Obama" sounds like 'Jesus H. Christ'-- it is making me laugh.
Jesus' middle name was Hussein.

I've got a shaky CBS on the TV on mute and NPR on the computer for sound, but they are out of sinc. Boo!
Just had a shot of Boehner looking like he was ready to weep as the President was sworn in.

Boooo. When I went Christmas shopping with my mother last month, it was literally the first time in years we had spent time just the two of us, and it was SO GREAT. All of your family time shouldn't be hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Westwood hospital denied me IV meds, so I went to Santa Monica, where they gave me only one dose. My next day off is in February. I'm not entirely sure how that's supposed to work.

I missed the actual swearing-in, because I thought it was at noon, so I didn't turn the TV on until a little before.
"Barack H. Obama" sounds like 'Jesus H. Christ'-- it is making me laugh.
I feel like using "Barack H. Obama!" in place of "Jesus H. Christ!" now.
t edit Wow. BIG gay shoutout. Well done, Barack H. Obama!
