Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

In non-apocolyptic news, I accidentally found my Xmas present this morning--it's a Sodastream! Any suggestions for a person addicted to Diet Dr. Pepper?

John Kerry officially nominated as next SoS

Which means that Scott Brown is going to run for Senate again. Ridiculous. I'm not clear on why Obama is willing to give away a Senate seat to get Kerry for State.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I like Sodastream's Dr. Pete flavor, Scrappy, but I am not a connoisseur of Dr. Pepper.

(Irrelevant to me, as I'm a contractor.)

Yeah, the Dr Pete isn't bad, but I don't drink it all that doyen so I didn't notice the difference like when I tried the cola flavor

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

A photo of what's going on in Australia. Not photoshopped at all.

You mean Australia doesn't always look like that?

I am disappointed.

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

I am disappointed.

An Aussie commenter did mention that's a typical Friday for them.

The President issued an executive order declaring 12/24 a holiday. I don't know how (or even whether) it affects contractors.
