I was so rooting for the Bengals, but man. They really did that to themselves. Sorry, Steph.
Oh, I totally agree that the Bengals did it to themselves. They 100% deserved that loss. If Marvin Lewis can't control his team, he shouldn't be coaching.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

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

That sounds cool, Sheryl.
I'm kind of relieved that I don't have to watch football at this point, that game sounds stressful.
Finally figured out that the reason I resisted getting out of bed so hard this morning is probably that I had been dreaming that I was late for work and was about to get fired (and my dream roommates were NOT HELPING. Jerks). not a great reaction from the conscious or subconscious mind, self. This was after dreaming of an alternate ending to Mad Men that involved Jon Hamm in Hawaiian shirts- that one I'm okay with.
Anyway, need to put that behind me and get something done today. Breakfast is probably a good place to start.

Ooof, I crashed hard and precipitously last night. Got home around 12:30, talked another hour, then I couldn't unwind until suddenly moving off the couch was Too Much around 3. Even left the lights on. Woke up when Karen rushed out to meet excontractor at 8. Chatted some more, got her on the road, ran a couple errands and now laundering. Still tired.
Being social outside the usual, man...

nods along nice!
Guess I can still get one of those lottery tickets. Although standing in line is not an option. Not that enthused.
Socialized last night, so back to working today, with football in the background although I don't really have a favored team.

A friend of mine just politely linked to Snopes on Facebook, and the person replied: "Um, Snopes is run by liberals and isn't trustworthy, when researching something of a conservative nature."

Reality has a well documented liberal bias, flea.

Exactly! I'm tempted to link [link] but ... you can't win with some people.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If they think Snopes is biased, they're not going to believe factcheck.org either.

It would be interesting to hear what the response was to the factcheck validation of Snopes. Probably also deeply troubling but, you know, interesting.
