We're expecting some snow this week in Utah, but nothing beyond what we're well used to dealing with. It's actually supposed to be a snow/rain mix, because it's been much warmer than usual around here. I would only worry if he's coming in late, when things might be freezing up a bit--which our airport is well used to coping with.

My boss, who lives in John Boehner's district (and once again I apologize on behalf of Ohio for his presence in Congress), won't write him because "I wrote him once and he won't care what I have to say anyway."

There are few people more negative than she is. Seriously. She makes Eeyore look like goddamn Pollyanna.

Do it for the kittens!

Unrelatedly, I want pancakes.

I had pancakes for breakfast and they were good.

Web Protests Piracy Bills, and 2 Senators Change Course:

Members of Congress, many of whom are grappling with the issues posed by the explosion in new media and social Web sites, appeared caught off guard by the backlash to what had been a relatively obscure piece of legislation to many of them.

Glad it seems to have actually done some good!

I have a recipe for whole wheat cottage cheese pancakes that I keep forgetting to try. I didn't make them this morning, either.

I am futless. I have an hour before I need to leave for work. I've gathered all my students' papers. I've eaten lunch. It's not enough time to watch tv. I finished my major admin task yesterday, although I've got plenty more to do. The housework is all on hold because until the propane comes later today I won't have hot water.

sometimes I just like to think I annoy them, Tep. Sometimes, it's good enough. (No need to apologize, here. Arizona. Which makes me want a t-shirt that says "I know...it's awful." on the front. and "we're not all stupid," on the back.)

Although mostly, I want the cafepress t-shirt from Big Bang that says "I'm not insane...my mother had me tested.' Unless it's too meta if I wear it.
