I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have my typical turkey and brie.

I have my typical turkey and brie.

Mmm, one of my favorite sandwiches. Coincidentally, I went to Chicken Out on Friday, ordered the turkey and brie panini. Got to the register and it was EIGHT DOLLARS. No side, no chips, no drink. 8 dollars for just a sandwich. And it was only okay. I mean, you can't really screw it up, but for 8 dollars, I want my eyes to roll back in my head.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sorry for work suckage, which I am also having. Blech.

I am SO happy about my friend Nancy, though!

Oy vey! At my place, even on Wall Street, it's seven bucks with chips, pickle, bottle of soda.

It's very cool! Way cooler then when I saw my mother's friend's name scroll by on the Grammys -- he had won for best liner notes or something, but no one ever said his name out loud on TV.

I have leftovers, which today is pasta with white beans and kale. I'm not actually that thrilled about it, but I am hungry.

But yeah, the attitude of the people who run the place, and think they do kinda sucks.

Are they the kind of people who send me 3 e-mails within the span of 20 minutes asking when something will be completed? Because I've got 50+ of them all doing that to me right now.

I was pretty mellow when I got to work this morning, even though it was cold and snowing heavily. Stupid Dallas.

Well, the Oscar blitz should be fun this year. I'm actually excited about seeing a number of these.

I'm very happy that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly got a nomination after all, since I saw it this weekend and thought it was amazing.

And how could Persepolis not be nominated for best foreign-language film?

And no one noticed, until I got curious about something.

I do this all the time as a QA. Sometimes I think it would be better to pretend I didn't see it and let it be found out in the course of events (especially if it's something I got detoured by rather than what I was working on) but I just can't let things go.

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

I went to a place that had turkey loaf and two sides. I ordered it, and the lady gave me two giant slabs of turkey. I could barely eat half of it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I got sushi. And ginger snaps. And OKAY, FINE, a couple of Reese's peanut butter eggs.
