I was listening to the traffic report yesterday on the way home from the bookstore around 6:00 pm, and they were talking about a 20-mile backup trying to get from the southbound Dan Ryan onto I-80 that backed the road all the way onto the Kennedy/Ike/Ryan merge in the Loop. Yuck.

Maybe they just want to check (TSG mentioned some band did this with their rider) that you read that far in the rules?

That's the only thing I can come up with as an explanation, and it makes me really mad. I mean, your decision whether or not to give me $5million should be based on more than the fucking font.

If I could hear him clearly, it's a pretty good guess that the partner in the office next to his did as well.

Ay yai yai.

OMG I'm going to punch my boss.

Kathy, you're going to make me cry. Not that this is your fault, exactly, but it's making me think I should cancel this weekend, save a bunch of money, and go visit my sister on her actual birthday by taking the train...

What don't you like?

I hate the pseudo-anime drawing style. It's like he's trying to draw anime, but can't pull it off. Plus he has stupid-ass facial expressions.

shrift, is there a way for your sister to see how it makes sense, having you spend the time on being with her instead of being stuck in traffic, even if on a different schedule?

Oh and here is David Tennant introducing the Pussycat Dolls at Wembley.

::wibble::

I adore his real accent. And you don't get any better than a Scotsman saying "Pussy."

When I bought my copy of Vampire People the clerk at B&N was finishing up a frappachino and said, "I highly recommend the frappachinos." To which I replied, "I highly recommend this book!"

Is that where we went to brunch?

Nope. But I don't remember where we went to brunch!

I'm sure she'll understand if I don't go this weekend, but it's a yearly beach weekend for her and I know she looks forward to it. Of course, if I visit her on her birthday instead, I'll be able to see the entire family, and it'll be about $150 cheaper.

Man, decisions! Why are they so difficult to make?

It took me a while to tell the Baron Wulfenwhatever from his son--in B&W it was nigh impossible from pics alone. Even later on, I found myself relying on costume to distinguish both male and female characters from others of their basic description.

I'm irritated that Cost Plus World Market no longer sells the shelving (interlocking Ls) that I meant to buy. Not with them, but with myself, since I meant to buy them over a year ago.

And I'm irritated with myself for forgetting to bring stamps with me to mail off all my shit.

A while ago the paper had the article about cats being descended from a common ancestor with a headline about the only reason they hang around with us is because they (the cats) don't have opposable thumbs and can't use a can opener. Well, that may no longer be the case.
