Kissinger is on my Olympics coverage. WAH!
Bye, now. Have good sex.

Punishingly Intricate
ugh, Brenda, I'm sorry. I know within a couple of weeks she'll be used to things but I hope she calms down much sooner.
happy birthday Debetesse! Speaking of birthdays, I got my hair cut in preparation for mine. Now I need to go get a curling iron so I can do the ends and bangs the way she did. I've never owned one!
now I have a couple of hours to kill and am not motivated to do anything around the house I need to do. Maybe some laundry.

Hotness! Dude, you are a rock and roll Cleopatra.
Great eyebrows too.

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'm watching Steeplechase. Every time they say "Mustafa Mohamed of Sweden" I giggle a little.

Yay new birthday hair!
In meMeME news: I deeply totally and unflinchingly hate arranging and editing and looking up and editing and pretty much anything-to-do with references and bibliography. As in, tomato-level hate.
I'm at the stomach-ache stage of "even if I stay up all night, I don't have enough time". So of course I spend some of that not-enough time whining on the internet.

Awww, I'd do it for you Nilly. And JZ would not only do it for you, she'd enjoy it.
(Also, brenda, I would totally come over to your house and wash your knives and forks and spoons.)

Watching Women's Diving. Anyone else get the feeling that Guo Jing Jing is just SO over it and ready to retire?

Oh, thanks, Hec.
Usually I have no problem with that - I even do it for other people (and now very pleased to be on the same page regarding that as JZ!).
But somehow entering 2am and didn't-edit-my-abstract-or-translated-it-into-Hebrew and can't-print-yet int the mix changes the balance.
Then again, entering chocolate-chips cookies changes the balance once more, just a bit, so there's that, as well.

Poor Lucy and Brenda> I forgot, is her name actually Lucy-fur?
Nope, just Lucy.

Um, thanks?
You know, sometimes This Modern World is just so amazing. It's so cool to think that I can be away from home, realize that I'll be out tonight during the debate, and just go online and tell my dvr a hundred miles away to record it. Hell, I could do it from my phone if I was already out. That's some crazy shit, yo.
This doesn't mean I'm not still peeved about the flying cars we were all supposed to have by now, mind. But still, pretty neat.

Things that are less neat:
I'm working on a massive proposal in which technology issues are key. Trying to reconcile the following two helpful instructions:
"Instructions: Identify the software application(s)/major platforms you typically offer or implement, whether owned or not, to support each functional area...please provide as much information as possible for each software application identified."
And in the space where you actually enter your responses?
Description of application. Limit to 250 characters.
For reference, the instructions - no, wait, the redacted instructions I pasted above are 247 characters. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?
