Yay Presidents!!
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

President's day. Which I don't get off.

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?
Today is a quiet day. 2/3 of the 8th grade and 1/3 of the 7th grade are on field trips. My classes are reduced to 3-8 people per class. So, we're watching The Muppet Show in my drama classes.

I've got a three-day weekend, too! Last year, it was up to us to decide who was going to cover and who was going to be off, so I worked on Monday and took a day off later in the week. This year, Boss asked us who was willing to cover, and I said I wanted the day off instead. I was going to see if I could also take a half-day today, but I think I'll stick around until 6:00 and get some stuff done.
And in completely other stuff, does anyone know if tobogganing hills are still around? I remember as a kid we'd drive up to the big hill about 30 miles north of Joliet and rent a sled and head down the grooves under the big lights they had on the hillside. That place closed down back in the late '80s, IIRC, and I haven't seen another one since.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yup. I've gotten President's Day off everywhere I've worked in Cali.

The federal gov't gets President's Day, but I don't. Boo!

I don't have it off, but mr. flea and the kids do.
I am home with kids. The Valentine's goody bags rival Halloween. I think I am going to have to do some parental candy claiming to keep the sugar high to a minimum.
Not snowing yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
We get Presidents' Day off, which really surprised me, since this is the first firm where that was true.
I have a truly enormous amount of unwatched TV on my Tivo, plus 8 eps of S2 Criminal Minds from Netflix, and a lot of stuff I want to rewatch. This does not bode well for my getting stuff done this weekend.

I was going to do some major tv watching this weekend, but I was invited to a Not-Valentine's-Day movie party instead. A friend is having a group of women over to watch non-romances featuring strong females. I suggested Aliens, and after thinking about it, she said to bring the dvd, since it fits the parameters. I'm also bring Star Trek just because it's fun and the romance in it is so unexpected.
