See you culled a lot during packing and you will cull more unpacking. I love that part of moving.

Job front?

I am trying to crank out a ton of work and get in front of some stuff, but people keep interrupting me and now allthe copiers on our floor have stopped working?!?

This to me is the biggest bit of good news from last night: Sarah Palin and the Tea Party crowd drove the moderate from the race, but Doug Hoffman still lost the New York House seat. Max Blumenthal on what the GOP’s embarrassing stumble means for 2010.

On a night when conservatives expected a landmark victory in New York’s 23rd congressional district, the movement’s anointed candidate, Doug Hoffman, instead went down in a startling defeat to Democrat Bill Owens. The official Republican candidate, Dede Scozzafava, had dropped out days before and thrown her support to Owens after the conservative movement backed Hoffman in a campaign to destroy her, attacking her as a closet socialist with a cynical, hidden agenda—the same terms they have used to demonize President Barack Obama.

Hoffman’s rejection by rank-and-file voters in a solidly Republican district dampened the conservatives’ mood on an otherwise upbeat night and raised serious questions about the movement’s attempt to purge moderates from party ranks. Now, many of Hoffman’s right-wing cheerleaders are struggling to explain their dubious gambit, while others fear repercussions for their zealotry.

Congrats, Callaluna!

Congrats, Jesse!

In short, now I live in Boston.

That's weird! Last week you were not. Last decade you were not. Your whole life is changing!

Shit, you're probably going to get married on Halloween at this rate.

Shit, you're probably going to get married on Halloween at this rate.

Now that you live in Mass. you've doubled your options.

Yay, Jesse! I was thinking about you yesterday and wondering how things were going. Never leave us again!

Did you move your pin on the map, Jesse? Hmm?

I hate the late discovery that you'll have to fidget with your clothes all day to keep them in place. This skirt is bigger than I thought. I figured workably big, but it's decided annoyingly so.

Oh! Google's cute today.

Yay for Jesse's move!

Yay for CV's marriage and baby girl!!

Since November is NaNoWriMo, Two Lumps takes a whack at it. (Includes bonus Stephanie Meyer slam!)

I'm celebrating NaNoWriMo in reverse, I'm trying to remove 50,000+ words from my rough draft.

Chicagoistas: Looks like Block 37 has acquired a few new tenants, including Sephora, Comic Vault, and Bleeding Heart Bakery.
