Snow day!
Well, not exactly. But work did say to wait to come in until around 11 now, due to the fact that it’s bad out, and our parking lot hasn’t been plowed yet. W00t!

ESPN – Jagr: Rangers trade ‘can happen any minute’
Is he suddenly going to not suck anymore? I doubt it. Certainly it’s an expected move, but that doesn’t mean I need to be happy about it.

Al Franken’s reaction to the SOTU
Have a listen. I think he does a much better job than Michael Moore of getting his point across. I think sometimes MM is so shrill and annoying that he winds up doing himself a disservice. Rumor has it that Franken is talking about doing a political run in his home state [...]

Curse-ive
I had to write a couple of late thank-you notes last night for some holiday bling from the grandparents and grandparents-in-law. I realized that I haven’t written more than my signature or a few scribbles on a notepad with an actual pen in years, and I remembered why. First of all, I have [...]

Cold much?
Went out to go to work this morning and both of my car doors were frozen. Solid. After yanking on the handle a few times, I decided to listen to the voice that said “Don’t do it…. you’ll break the handle…”, and went in through the trunk. A bit undignified, perhaps, but [...]

And you think *you* had a shitty day at work…
I’m at work.
I ate my lunch maybe an hour before.
Psyllium husk is kicking in; doing its job.
I hit the head.
Normal size, normal amount of TP.
Flush.
Gurgle
Uh-oh.
Water rises.
Oh, please, please, please no!
Almost on command, the water obeys… cresting at the lip of its porcelean cage, and then reluctantly lowers itself back down.
