My parents are coming up Thursday to get me for the holidays. I think we may steal a donkey from the donkey farm up the road and go for a live nativity scene in my yard. :D

A friend of mine used to do live nativities where they would freeze in place when someone came by, and then move around suddenly (or when the person was looking the other way!)

I need a sabbatical where I can rest and recharge research and write and explore the arts and drink coffee and contemplate. A month would do it.... yeah right.. *goes back to spreadsheets and afternoon coffee dregs*
RT @fivethirtyeight: Ohio, just by itself, now has a 40% chance of determining the Electoral College winner. About as important as next 4 states combined.
"This is the USNS Comfort next to a Nimitz-class supercarrier, the biggest war ship in the world. Together with its twin, the USNS Mercy, they are the largest hospital ships on the oceans, the second largest hospital in the US and the fifth largest on the planet. Their labor is admirable, helping tens of thousands all over the world every year. Both ships are huge, 894-feet (272-meter) leviathans with a flight deck displacing 69,360 tons. They have a combined 2,000 beds, 24 fully equipped operating rooms, radiological services, medical labs, intensive care units, dental services, physical therapy and burn care, pharmacies, optometry labs, CAT scan and four oxygen factories. The Mercy also has a powerful Lumenis laser to treat patients. The Mercy was originally the SS Worth supertanker, built in 1976. The Comfort was the exact same type of ship, a San Clemente Class oil tanker built in that same year. The 3-football field long ships were reconverted by the US Navy to treat injured...

Robin update: #FARP - My thighs have shrunk to the point where I can cross my legs now. #Non-Smoker - still a non-smoker after 4 full months now #Work - frantically compiling lists of what I do all day so that other people can start doing it... ;)
So far, I haven't put "check FriendFeed obsessively" on a list - but I'm just getting around to listing my mailing list memberships and such, so the LSW may make an appearance on that one today!

End of the month, but I have been working Saturdays and Sundays and have had to come in on my days off so this is going to happen before then. For true.

I keep thinking, "no, he couldn't possibly have said that," and then found out that he did. In the context of this tweet, I think Roger Simon's article in Politico was (mostly) parody, but then again I can't be sure given how things have been going lately.

I keep looking for Onion or Borowitz URLs.

When I posted it this morning, I assumed that Simon's article was parody. Since he has always seemed to lack any kind of humor that normal people possess, it shocked me. It was genuinely funny in many places. But the past 3 hours, my Twitter TL is blowing up like it's real and I had to rethink stuff. I hope that was a satirical article, it would be sad if it was true.

I can't help but wonder if this is a rope-a-dope move... Mitt will come out in the debates with low expectations then try to crush it... That's probably giving him way to much credit... but still... the debates are still to come

"My unemployment benefits ran out and I have to downsize, so I won't be able to take the shrine with me. No more reeling around the fountain, indeed. Comes from a home where smoking was previously allowed and 2 cats lived but they both died this summer. And I might as well tell you that I had to exchange all the stuff my ex-fiancee and I had at each other's places this morning, since he ended our relationship just as things were looking most grim for me, so I might be sobbing when you come by."

I would just assume anyone with a Morrisey shrine was sobbing a good 20-22 hours of the day anyway.

Everything in the description makes me think of a number of people I actually know. I guess a specific type of person would make a Morrissey shrine.

Every Smiths/Morrissey lyric is running through my head on puree right now and they are all appropriate. "If a double-decker bus / kills the both of us / to die by your side / is such a heavenly way to die."

It depends on the type of toothpaste. Gel-style stuff is Never Acceptable, in a tube, on a toothbrush, in the mouth, wherever. #justsaynototoothgel
- ellbeecee
gel is definitely unacceptable. And it can also give you chemical burns if you leave it on your skin too long (like overnight or several hours)
- ~Courtney F
Courtney, if you're getting chemical burns from your toothpaste, I need to tell you that you're using it incorrectly.
- DJF
Anywhere else? Hm, I have to say, toothpaste on my toothbrush has never struck me as gross.
