I just discovered that I have not been following Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter. What is wrong with me?? Whenever someone talks about crushing on folks, he's the first one I think of. I love his big brain...

Well, there is a new one. Someone on a mailing list who sent out an email to the list to tell a single person on the list that they'd sent them an email. The mind boggles.

This, my friends, is why technological literacy is important. Does this URL scream trustworthy to you? http:// healthyfoodchoices.com-nav.com/special-report/index-2.php

OMG. This winter will never end. We've had so many storms that they are doubling back - the winter storm set to hit us tonight is named Achilles. 27 storms in one winter. I'm flabbergasted.

Felt a little bit like Kirsten today as I walked to work, except my walk is just along a 5 lane thoroughfare with little in the way of wildlife and even less in the way of plant life (other than nicely shorn grass). I did get barked at by a rather pissy dog, if that counts?

Damn. I'm all kinds of productive today and I've only been at work for 2.5 hours. Finalized a "30 tips in 30 minutes" slideshow we're doing for Tech Day on Weds, added students to a year-long director training we're kicking off on Thurs and managed about 10 conversations at once about both of them. It's go home time now, right?

This amused me. Good morning folks!!

I'm sitting at Starbucks, writing like a good girl (I'm only a chapter and a half behind!! Good thing I built those extra 2 weeks into the schedule...) and the girls at the table next to me are studying for an exam. The terms they are boning up on are "episiotomy" and "somethingICan'tEvenBeginToSpell placental issue". This is distracting me...

The Good Wife is available on Amazon Instant Video! Seasons 1-3, at least! I'm having a Good Wife marathon today, including lots of "he's a bastard" ice cream and a little bit of "what an asshole" alcohol. Never let it be said that I can't entertain myself!!

From Facebook: Congratulations Symphonic Percussion Ensemble for taking home GOLD, to Jazz I for taking home SILVER, and to Symphonic Band for taking home GOLD! Your school and community are proud of you. Way to take New York! - My son is in both Symphonic band and ensemble. So ridiculously proud...

I'm about to listen to a professionally trained futurist. Your argument just ran away?

I have a parsley plant! I snipped some off and used it while cooking lunch (onion and potato frittata) today. Imma gonna try not to kill it, but I make no promises. I also had, for dessert, a big ol' spoonful of nutella covered in trimmed and halved strawberries, then doused with whipped cream. Today has been a good day!

My back doesn't hurt. For the first time in maybe 8 months, I don't have a pain right between my shoulder blades and up my neck. I also have a membership to a Message Envy and another appointment in 2 weeks. I was so happy after my massage that I would have signed up for just about anything...

Just got back from a "geeks who drink" event in Lawrence. Last I heard, we were in 3rd (of 12) place, but I'm old and left before the final scores were posted. They should be up tomorrow morning and I'll link to them! I had fun drinking (a bit - I was driving, so it was mostly diet cokes) and answering trivia questions with my coworkers!

I did something foul to my lower-right-side back/hip last night and now I'm limping along at work like an old lady. I'm not pleased. I've been 40 for only a month, shit doesn't have to start falling apart *immediately* upon turning 40, does it?

After having all last week off due to a 3 day trip to the East Coast, then 2 snow days, then 2 weekend days, today is short (we close at 3pm) and we've already announced tomorrow's closing. When I get back to work, for real, I'm going to seriously have forgotten what I do...

Silver called it again - he predicted Argo would take best pic. He was right.

Yeah, Quentin!!

Ok - did you all see the Bullock/McCarthy Heat commercial? That was some funny shit.
