I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

If you don't make it to the playoffs, you have better Draft Lottery odds, which basically is, "hey, maybe this is crazy, but we noticed you're terrible, would you like a star player baby?"

There's a guy in this draft class who is anticipated to be an allstar so it's a pretty big deal getting that first pick this year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The quote I got for the windshield of a 91 Jeep Cherokee was $153. Rear windows have all those wires for the defroster in them, so that might be why it was more.

Wow, that's cheap.

OTOH, isn't the windshield flat on a Cherokee of that era? If so that would make it a lot cheaper.

isn't the windshield flat on a Cherokee of that era?

Yeah, pretty much a flat rectangle. I like older cars, the parts aren't stupid.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Am at the airport with time to kill. I left myself plenty of time, had little traffic getting here, security was fairly quick and then my flight is delayed. If only there was free wifi.

In Celebrity Height news, I put Nick Lachey at about 5'8", and Vannessa Minnillo Lachey at not much less. (They were just here at my work with their baby, whom I rate as Cute Baby Cheeks.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think Nick Lachey is adorable. He's my secret celebrity crush.

Have I been to or will I ever go to his bar? Nope and probably not. I just think he's a cutie.

He's decent looking. We had a guy in getting a passport for himself an hour before who was much hotter, though. (And also, taller. But very badly dressed.) I was like, oh, woof.

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

I think my chili-with-Fritos ended up being more Fritos than chili. But I am okay with that, today.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Arrrggggg. Yes, I called Xcel Energy to set-up my account for next Friday. Yes, they have connections with other services that might be of interest. No, I'm not interested in hearing all the options. Oh, you want to have a security company call me with their offer - I guess but after I move, ok? 10 minutes later - security company calls. Yes, I might be interested, but I'm not able to review the options or schedule an appointment, if you want to call back in two weeks, that is fine. No, I don't want to hear more. Listen, I have said I'm willing to talk in two weeks, if you can't manage that and SHUT UP NOW, then remove my name.

Shhhhheeeessshhhhh.
