Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I am done with the grant proposal! woo hoo!

I want to know why the media came out with all of this the day after the election. Isn't this their job?

In 2004, the NYT was careful not to publish a story on Bush (I am sorry, I can't recall what story--debate FAIL!) that could have had a big effect on the election outcome until after the election for that very reason. I'm not sure why it's no longer considered part of a newspaper's mission to publish stories that could have an important impact in a timely fashion, but I do notice they take pains to mitigate any real impact the news has on actual political events.

Oh, sorry to keep burbling, but I have to share something I overheard today on campus: "I just realized something the other day. Did you know the library has bathrooms?"

Poor guy. Studying on campus must have been a real hardship for him.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Studying on campus must have been a real hardship for him.

Either that, or you've just discovered the secret identity of Super Fantastic Bladder Man.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cute? or Awful?

I have to venture out to get diet coke and rent Zombie Land.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, my, he's dreamy.

Better-weekend vibes to msbelle and Mac.

We were supposed to get Rainpocalypse II here yesterday and today, but mostly it's been Gloom and Drizzlegeddon.

I want to know why the media came out with all of this the day after the election. Isn't this their job?

My cousin works for the Government Accountability Office and I remember a slew of reports coming out in late September and early October of 2004 and she told me it was because there was a release deadline due to the election.

Of course, they are a non-partisan government office and not a news organization, but...

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Okay, the mascots for the Vancouver Olympics are too freaking cute!

I took the quiz to see which mascot I am, and I am Quatchi, the young sasquatch.

I always suspected as much.
