I always get annoyed by people who slow down their big SUV to go over a lumpy bit of road. You paid extra money to get a vehicle that is specifically designed to go over lumpy terrain, so why are you slowing down?
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

I am with you, -t. I'm so viciously cranky that I'm not allowing myself to respond to any email until later in the day, because I'd rather not deal with the consequences of suggesting that everyone go fuck themselves.

But Gud, how else are they supposed to keep their latte from spilling? They already have one hand holding the phone they're talking on, they can't take the other off the wheel!
I actually got out of the house last night to go to the Mardi Gras party. Great food (crawfish etouffee, redfish baked or seared in brown butter with crabmeat, rice, and corn maque choux, and a hurricane to drink), a pretty good band jamming, and I socialized with people I don't know!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am in a call that has almost zero relevance to me. Whoo.

Fucking day after Mardi Gras.

Nice, Matt!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I socialized with people I don't know!
FTW!
I dragged myself out of bed for an early morning conference call* during which I said two sentences that repeated what I'd already said in email. Why was I even there?
- okay, it's not a lie, but it's not true either. It was 9am, I was still in bed playing with the cats, and I made the call on my cell. Then I dragged myself out of bed. I can get up at 5am or 9am, but in the hours between I sleep sounder than at any other time.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Did I mention that a new cat showed up in the neighborhood? About a week ago. Anyhoo much speculating by my daughter that she might get to have another cat, but I was pretty sure that our neighbors wanted to keep her if she showed up again. Well, turns out she did and so they did and I have to say, that's one happy cat.
I have to grade today. Oh joy, NOT.

Between the fog and the smog, we can no longer see the bottom of the hill my office sits on. This is expected to hang on for another week. It'll be good to be in Vegas.
