Gah! My friend just posted part of Chris Rose's Letter to America from after Katrina, and I am homesick and in tears.
Glad that meeting was canceled.
It's a real burden being right so often.

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.

Wasn't an embassy toilet a casualty when Raq was there?
Yeash, lisah, this winter's been especially rough on you. I've never really liked snow, but now I have a pretty adversarial relationship with it. Plus now it is scary, not just annoying.
Despite the roads being a gawdawful mess (and the idiot decision to go ahead with the 39th closure) I really can't say the city is handling it poorly. We were never equipped for this kind of snowfall; it is going to take a while to recover. But the bonehead decisions, those I fault.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My father just called to see if I still wanted to come over for dinner (my mother's out of town all week). Of course! I'm all equipped!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I would like some cake, either King or otherwise.
Also, patience. I ran out of mine on the commute to work today, and people keep expecting me to have some.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ack! I was unclear. I was asking Dana.
Oh, it's just me being a traditionalist. To me, king cakes come from McKenzie's, and are round and not filled with anything. Unless it's a king cake you got in grade school, which meant you had to buy the big square ones in order to feed everyone.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My god, Netflix is going to be the undoing of me. The user really wants this one page to act like the Netflix queue page--and I keep learning things that the queue page does that I had no idea about.

You mean a client wants something you're building to work like NetFlix does?
Which reminds me I have NetFlix stuff I either need to watch or send back.

Has anyone see Newswipe? It's like Jon Stewart, but constantly pissed and British.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
"Pissed" as in they're drunk on camera?
