Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, also? I'm totally making a casserole for the first time in my life! I think it's kind of hilarious, but I realized that's where I was going, when I was stirring the bechamel and boiling the bow-tie pasta.

My coworker found a 20-minute interview with the writers of the ad. Turns out it was one take, no CGI except for the diamonds/container in the hand. Take 57 was what they used. The "shower" set is hoisted by a crane, the shirt that drops down is done with fishing line and has a coat hanger in it to make it stiff, the "boat" is a half a boat set on the beach, and they had this cart contraption that he sits on that wheels him onto the horse.

My appreciation of his ability to keep a straight face has gone way up, and I would *love* to see the outtakes.

OK, this is bizarre. There's a bobcat clearing our snowpiles out in front of my house.

But my fucking commute still took an hour.

I'm confused.

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

For a second, I was picturing a big cat, and not a scooper thing....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

When I saw that Old Spice commercial, I was like, "how have I never seen that actor before?!"

Either we just finally got on the list or I pissed off the right people. But honestly? You can leave our piles. Street is passable, though the piles are high.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That is amazing!

Seriously.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That old spice commercial is pretty awesome, and he is very pretty.

I got a response from DPW. Not pleased. Not pleased at all. I am thinking there was no traffic study done AT ALL.

I'm asking for clarification, but I just got quoted 6 weeks. NO FUCKING WAY. I hope that it just means intermittent closures in a 6 week period. Because...no.

Sara's totally going to run for City Council.

Woah.
