My conscience didn’t let me go to another board meeting without carpooling. Vehicular independence is all very well but there’s no excuse when I live scant blocks from two of the other board members  So Peggy and I went together in Ziva (I forced her to listen to Nancy Freeman on my car stereo boo hoo) and my reward was to have Tom materialize (scary, actually) next to Ziva when I dropped her off afterward with a container of frozen shrimp.  I was told to share it with Paul but that will be no hardship – apparently his niece Kaitlyn is in town this weekend.

The meeting itself was very good.  Everybody is so tired and overwhelmed but we work really well together and it was good to see.

Work, oh well.  I hope today is better.

Next time I’m feeling guilty that I don’t work hard enough I’ll remember I was using my own recording equipment to help the company at five in the morning.  Yeah.

Ted Danson replacing Lawrence Fishburne on CSI.  Yeah.

Katie over last night.  Yeah.

Tonight, Board Meeting for church.  Not so yeah, but it will be nice to see people.

But some are cuter than others.

Brian Wolff is alleged to have passed away in Toronto.  Maybe he was fleeing creditors.  I wrote a song for him.

To change the subject  …Mel Brooks’ Hitler rap,

“A pamphlet, no matter how good, is never read more than once, but a song is learned by heart and repeated over and over; and I maintain that if a person can put a few cold, common sense facts into a song, and dress them… up in a cloak of humor to take the dryness off them, he will succeed in reaching a great number of workers who are too unintelligent or too indifferent to read a pamphlet or an editorial in economic science.”–Joe Hill

Oooh, look, a prophet. http://www.bostonreview.net/BR36.5/noam_chomsky_responsibility_of_intellectuals_redux.php

Why you believe.

That pretty much sums up my feelings about just about everything.

This is for nothing.

So, too, this.

And of course I’m not wanting to complain about my parents, who never did this to me.

Happy dog!

Today I learned that if the car in front of you swerves suddenly, you probably should too.

Assfroth 2012.

Santorum is a candidate, and also…. well, let’s just say Dan Savage messed with him about as hard as Santorum’s messed with the rights of gayfolk.

I am getting the exact same pain I got for months before the right side of my L5S1 went out, this time on the left side.

I’m going to be down to two people in my department on Tuesday next.  From four.  It’s going to be fugly.

I am not feeling too great, as you can see.

Despicable Me was loads of fun.

Sigh.

Wish my vacation started sooner.

Watched a meth lab get hosed down the other night.

I have an appointment for Ziva to go to the body shop later this month.

I should get orthotics.

I like Katie’s new housemates, but they have barky barky dogs.
