No meetings today!!!! What will I DO with myself?????

I am so ready for this class to be over.  Almost there.

I’m sorry, but if you’re paying for your groceries with a Bridge card, you shouldn’t be allowed to buy alcohol.  You just shouldn’t.

I still haven’t ordered tea and I’m pretty much out. You know what this means, don’t you?  Lipton.

I’m pretty sure that your little graphic implies that you think I’m a Klan member, “friend”.  Not cool.

I need to just order different yarn.  That stuff’s all wrong.

It’s too early in the day for ignorance.  I’m just not awake enough for that.

I need a new quote for my signature.

These are fun.

What is the office supply store name for those little suction cups with hooks on them?  You know, that you stick on a window to hang an open sign on?  I need one of those thingers.

Well Amazon just calls them suction cup hangers.  Get with the program, Office Depot!

It costs twice as much to rent the e version of this textbook as it does to rent the physical copy.  I live in Bizarro World.

Hello headache.

Anatomy.  Blargh.

Pandora’s been really working for me this week.  Nice.

The main reason I would never want to be a cop is the surprising number of naked people they encounter.  There are some things I just do not need to see.

I love this song.  I’ve probably linked it before.

What?  It’s not like I keep a list.

If you’re a Waits fan and haven’t watched the new video for Hell Broke Luce yet, you need to get on that.  It’s just.  Wow.

I am ready for fall weather.  I am not ready for fall on campus.

I get cranky when my head hurts this much.

You have mojo?  Maybe I need to borrow some.

The Mister probably needs a really big frozen Coke.

Water is so boring.

Can someone tell me what’s so great about Bon Iver?  I just don’t get it.

It’s moving into my neck.  Send help.

Push ups suck for everyone, but lying on the floor in despair is not going to help you get any better at them.  Clench.  That’s the key.  Same goes for situps. If you can’t do a push up, you will not get your next belt.

There’s a man on the radio ranting about how freaking AWESOME Magellan was.  He’s very angry.

I would like to say I’m surprised that it wasn’t done, but I’m just not.   It’s a damn good thing I followed up on that.

There’s a stretch of road right in front of the hospital where I was born that smells exactly like antifreeze.

Pulled pork and salt and pepper kettle chips.  Want.

Almost done with this.  Almost 100% ensures that I will NOT see this.  I want the record to show that I totally called the unexpected bad guy.

Then again, I have a morbid curiosity, so I just might watch it after all.  But only after it’s on DVD.

Paracord, Johnnie, lighter, I think we’re a go!  Who’s in?

mmmm cran apple mmmm

Wow, I haven’t had to take an Imitrex in months.  Didn’t miss that at all.  I’ve just been plowing through the headaches.  Can’t do it today.  Imitrex, I loathe you.

There don’t appear to be any lectures for the last 3 chapters in this class.  That does not seem like that should be right.  Not that I miss the sound of Herr Professor’s voice mind you …

If I had a pond, I’d totally put otters in it.

Who told Hillary Clinton those shiny Nehru coats were a good idea?

Ooph.

I have to go now.  There’s a cat that won’t stop yelling.

What a morning!  Day’s half over and I haven’t even started this yet.  Might be a short post this week.  Which might be a relief to some people.

I find myself repeating this phrase: “Again, as I was not in on that decision making process, I cannot tell you WHY.”

Argh.

“Nobody likes paying taxes.”

it’s.  its.  IT IS JUST NOT THAT HARD.

You can’t look at otters and not be happy.  It’s just not possible.

I am very much looking forward to Skyfall.

Bless you.

They’re doing things in the ceiling.

Why would you eliminate an IP associated with a department?  That’s insane.

It’s not a laugh, it’s a cackle.

I’ve never been to that building.  It’s not like I have a lot of reasons to order signs.

It’s a sign!

I think, just maybe …

I’m so sleepy.  My left eye is nearly closed.

Things we do not have in our corner of the Mitten: Chick-fil-A, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack, Costco.  We recently acquired a Sonic (which would require a roughly 40 minute drive from the compound, and so, I have yet to visit) and a Tim Horton’s, the location of which I am unclear on.

Things I will likely not get if you reference them: Commercials, most current television shows, most current film actors, most current bands or musicians.

I wouldn’t call it out of touch, so much as off that grid.  I say “I don’t know what that means” and “I don’t know who that is, Regis” a lot.

I really don’t feel like I’m missing anything.  Except the Bond part of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics sounded pretty awesome.  Also, I need to know who this guy on the right is.

You guys failed me last week.  Where are all my affordable picky eater lunch suggestions?

I don’t think I need a free sample of Meow Mix.

Right, that’s my official job title.  “Back Up”.

I changed my name to Miss Moneypenny.

Zombies keep out.

Old Dog night is actually happening this time!  It’s the first time we’ve gone since March!!!

Also I have an exam in the morning, so going to Old Dog night is a stupid idea.  I promise not to stay long.

Business cards!!!!!

awww babies!  Want one.  Stop showing me babies!

Generates more heat than light.

Yay for my new job description!  Happy Jen!  er.  Happy Miss Moneypenny!

Ah, it’s not just my corner, there is, in fact, only one Chick-fil-A in all of Michigan.

I was so good.  I had dinner and one drink and came home.  And dinner was delicious.  And it was all only 6 bux.  I think that actually made it taste better.

Hell’s bells!  I need this shirt!

I’m not ready for this test.

I say that every time I have an exam.

“I sure hope the CEO of Dunkin Donuts says something about religion soon,” said my internet friend.  Now Dunkin I have.  I can do a Dunkin Donuts support day.  Please can we have a Dunkin Day?

I love it when someone tells me that my posts make them really think about the way they look at things and why they believe what they do.  Makes my day.

Rational, baby.

Ugh. Exam.

I’m not a big Annie Leibovitz fan, I think she’s overrated, but these are fun.

I give up.  There’s something in my eye.

It’s an election year, man!

Oh it’s meeting day.  This should be interesting.  And when I say interesting …

I finished Gonzo.  I don’t know.  The thing about Hunter is he sounds exactly like the kind of jerk I dated before I met the Mister.  Except, you know, enormously talented.  It astonishes me how willing people are to make excuses for that kind of behavior though.  Not just for people like Thompson, but “ordinary” people too.

I also don’t understand this about HST: How can someone so concerned with constitutional liberties have been so supportive of people like Jimmy Carter? I don’t know how you can reconcile being, for instance, a giganomous gun nut, and a staunch supporter of Democrats.  I don’t get it.  I would love to know what he would have thought of Obama.  I cringe to think he would have loved him.

I was a little post happy yesterday.  I do not apologize.

I remembered my lunch today, which is good, on account of lunch around these parts is ridiculously pricey.

Maybe some coffee.  Maybe.  Water would be better.

To my knowledge, murder does not cease to happen for want of a firearm.  “Outrage is not an argument.”

I’m fairly certain, that while I am not a religious person by any means, this is a sign that the end is nigh.

Instawhat?

an uncertain rendering.

I think I might be hungry.

I always type stagg first.  I mean staff.  I generally awlyas type always incorrectly first too.  Even so, my accuracy rate is impressive.

Oh it is raining!  I didn’t realize!

So glad I could help.

Yes.  Food please.

Hummus indeed.

Where did I put my phone?

The first major problem with this, if it were implemented, is that it would absolutely lead to the arrest and detention of individuals before a crime has ever been committed.  (A whole major motion picture was made about this very thing.  Something with that crazy pants Tom Cruise, not terribly good, can’t remember the name …) Second is this: “there would be no monitoring of identified individuals unless a warrant was issued.” This fails to negate the fact that ALL individuals would be monitored, without a warrant.  So you data mine for activity that could indicate potential crime and use this information to (illegally?) obtain a warrant for an individual who might commit a crime???  This is constitutionally unacceptable.

I’m starting to hate turkey sandwiches.  Someone help this picky eater with affordable lunch ideas.  Please.

You know what sounds good to me right now?  A chocolate cupcake.  A big one.  That’s moist.  And has really good frosting.  Frosting can completely destroy a cupcake.

Great mug!  Actually, I really love this necklace.

Wow, I’m actually cold.  It was supposed to be 90 something today, so I wore a skirt – my standard summer fare.  I’m almost wishing I’d worn pants!

Supersensitive.  Super.  Sensitive.

I’ve never been to a Chick-fil-A, we don’t have them here, but if we did, I assuredly wouldn’t boycott them based on an out of context quote that has been subjected to whacked syllogisms of IF you don’t support gay marriage, you OBVIOUSLY think all gay people are pedophiles.  Please.  That’s just being purposely obtuse.  I would love some evidence that one single person anywhere has been discriminated against by this company.  My posting about this doesn’t mean that I am for or against gay marriage.  I don’t bloody care.  What I care about is the right of a company owner to believe whatever the hell he or she wants to believe, including what constitutes a marriage.  And you can eat where ever the hell you want to eat.  But make your decisions with all of the facts.  Not what someone has selectively chosen to share with you.

It just isn’t that hard to |censored on account of CYA|

I realized this morning just how little tolerance I have for people who refuse to take any kind of personal responsibility.  I also realized just how many people I know who are like this.  This is largely why we don’t leave the Compound very often.

That “I am powerless” business?  Bullshit.  It’s a bullshit cop out.  But you keep living your life like that and see where it gets you.

I wonder if there will be a season three of the Killing.  With a new murder.  I liked that show.

I reached for my mouse and it wasn’t there.

I just noticed the word count feature.  Stunning powers of observation, Jennifer.

You look foggy.  Is this the dream sequence?

We need to be sure, Red!!!!

Uh oh.  New people.

You know how it is, I’m like poison ivy.  Some people are allergic, some people can roll around in me all day without a twinge.

I dunno.  Take an antihistamine.

I have entered the “Why can’t I just be a SAHM and knit all day” mode.

I still haven’t found anything to replace zombies.  Chupacabra just isn’t doing it for me.

Corrected spelling suggestion for Chupacabra: Abracadabra.

Organizational changes.

327 to 98!  Nice.  Audit the Fed.

We need one of these.

Post happy yesterday and verbose today.  I don’t apologize.

Ah fuggit.  You know what musta happened?
