"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.
