I'm months behind on Scandal. Though I knew the one about the politician and the mistress and the wife as killer. I guess I'm too busy mainlining West Wing to catch up? I can only do one DC show at a time?

Hey guys, guess what? Grace's cap for her trache has come. So she was wearing her cap for a bit of time today. We'll have to work up to long terms, because she doesn't have as much muscle tone and I think she is going to fatigue with it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

What does that mean, Kat?

I'm not watching any of the horrifying things as it turns out. Too tired, and tomorrow will be a long day. I didn't fully realize that I signed up to be at work for 11 hours. Whoops.

Yes, do tell more, Kat. It sounds exciting?

I am now anxious to catch up on Scandal, though I think I probably won't until like, Saturday. Or maybe Sunday. Augh.

After being gone for Thanksgiving, and then gone Mon-just a few minutes ago tonight, I really want nothing more than to not leave my couch for the next few days. But tomorrow I have the monthly cleaning lady (and not only do I have work to do, I can't very well sit on the couch and watch TV while she cleans!), and then an appointment an hour away, and then I'm supposed to go to this stupid company holiday party, which I feel I should go to, and am always interested in talking to other people in my job, but also really don't want to go to some Garden Festival of Lights when it's freezing fucking cold, and then go eat at Maggiano's?? Uh, yeah. But I'll feel bad bailing when they confirmed our RSVPs just a couple weeks ago

And my house is weird and lonely because my roommate is all moved out and all her stuff is gone too. And I can't find my christmas ornaments. And I am a grumpy grumpypants.

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

I think I'm turning it off now, before I can be sad that "Something Good" isn't in it. That's one of my favorite scenes.

Or you could watch and see her belt it.

Levels, Carrie, levels...

They won't decannulate Grace until she can pass a sleep study with a capped trache. The trache forces her to only breathe through her mouth and nose. She has been wearing a speaking valve for months but that allows her to inhale just forces her to exhale through a different airway. So I think she has to adjust and build up a tolerance so she can be decannulated eventually.

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

Ahahahaha - I was almost afraid to open this thread because there were so many new messages this morning, I was afraid we'd gotten into some kind of horrible Nelson Mandela flame war. But no, just a Sound of Music watch-n-snark.

Speaking of which, this made me think of us.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hulu has the musical numbers from Sound of Music, so I'm getting to see the ones I missed. The orchestra is way too loud.
