We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I just looked up Drew Brees' bio. He's like the Mary Sue of quarterbacks.

Look up Fujita - there are a couple of Mary Sues on that team. I mean that in a good way. And I think the coach my be one too.

Seriously - I couldn't be happier at a Super Bowl outcome. If it had been the Pats instead of the Colts, I'd be happy that the Saints won, and that's something I thought I'd never say.

Of course, I never get tired of seeing Peyton Manning making that face when things go wrong. So that's a gift with purchase.

Oh wow. 3 city parking garages have gone free, first come first served.

Okay, so not like liberal leave. I'd take it as a day off, barring emergencies. Especially with the one you already stepped up for this weekend.

God, I could use a massage. And I say that having never had a professional one. I ache. Thank god for the swimming because I'd be in so much worse shape if I weren't in the shape I am now. I'm seriously stronger than I was this summer.

Okay, you need to do something about that.

Ooh, I have a Groupon for a massage at the pricy place in the lobby of my building. Should do something about that too.

I totally am using saturday as bargaining chip. They really haven't fleshed out the policy on admin leave for telecommuting. On friday, when admin leave started at 1 pm, they excluded telecommuters from taking it. But they haven't stated what happens on full day admin days. Technically, I should be off the hook, since I don't have a telework agreement, we just fudged friday, calling it an emergency. But I will monitor, as much as I am able.

I am leery of strangers touching me. I know. It's weird.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have an appointment for a massage from a friend next Thursday. That's way weirder than a massage from a complete stranger, to me.

Totally. I only did that once. It was less weird than I thought it would be going in, but still not the totally relaxing thing you want.

I've gotten a couple massages from friends, way less weird for me. But it might be the friends.
