Tai Shan officially began his journey to China early this morning, leaving the Zoo at 9:04 a.m. The four-and-a-half-year-old panda is on his way to Dulles International Airport, where he will board a FedEx 777 plane bound for Chengdu. The non-stop flight will take about 14 hours. >[link]

I remember when he was just a blur on a panda-cam.

::waves bye-bye to the panda bear::

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh noes Jessica, don't go there.

I swear I could spend the whole day looking at the same like 30 houses over and over again.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

We close for both MLK and President's Day.

I am sublimating my rage by getting my vpn and wireless working correctly so I can take the laptop home. Luckily, it is working because otherwise there wouldn't be so much successful sublimating going on.

Because books.

I'm wrapping gifts for Ben, who turns thirteen today. They're mostly Xbox related, but I did get him the first volume of Sandman.

I'm also thinking about scheduling my first-ever massage. I don't know how I got to this age without having one.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I keep finding myself looking at housing swap listings on craigslist, so I guess that's what I'm doing for vacation this year. And since I now have ten years at my job, I get an extra week of time.

You forgot to add in the "in San Francisco" part.

We already have one of your meals planned, by the way.

I just pointed out to a faculty member that getting copyright permission to use a document written by a supposed cleric associated al-Qaeda was not likely. Also, getting sued for using the document also not likely.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm fake-working and thinking about what I should buy at the supermarket. I don't really feel like eating anything.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

(By the way, DCistas, have you heard? Winter storm warning: 16 to 24 inches starting mid-morning tomorrow, near-blizzard conditions Friday night. )

Ugh. I really need to go grocery shopping, too, and my ankle is hurting too much to really shop, and I'm guessing there won't be grocery delivery in a blizzard, considering how long it generally takes DC to plow. I guess I'll go to 7-11 tonight and stock up on some frozen dinners and stuff.

This would be perfect, except that time timeframe is all wrong.
