Also: White Whine
I am kind of in a similar place to where I was before I move. I always get these ‘free’ tickets to events and such and I can never find anyone who can/will/wants to attend them with me.
Case in point: I have two decent seats for La Boheme this weekend and I can’t seem to find anyone who wants to go with me so I’ll probably end up giving one away and sitting next to...
Also, I love that the 'news' story about the name...

Mississippi Bill Changes Name of 'Gulf of Mexico'... →
In an effort to brighten your day….
A New Orleans website quipped: “Riding upon a chariot of Hummers driven by bald eagles, Mississippi Rep. Steve Holland filed a guns blazing cowboy steak of a bill, proudly waving our nation’s red, white and God-fearing blue to protect our American coastal waters.”

The world is so small
Friend from High School is dating friend from Elementary School and they met in Grad school at Penn State.
Like what?
I’m just gonna get off Facebook, go buy some Lotto Tickets, and then stay out late enough to see the numbers and know if I have to wake up in time tomorrow or can just afford to pay for an endowment large enough so I can get away with coming in at 10 everyday.

MARRIAGE EQUALITY PASSES IN WA!!!
!!!!
Someone bring me Bourbon and a blanket. And maybe a grilled cheese sandwich. I’ll cuddle until I get too warm!
I need suggestions
In my new and improved job situation, I need/want to be able to share things and keep up with everyone, but need to do so in a way that I can remain fairly anonymous, which LOL. So that GPOYW earlier will probably be my last one for awhile. I also have to go back and spend a good bit of time deleting my, shall we say, less than ideal postings.
How do y’all do it?
I mean it is clearly...
I also get to leave early today because I have a haircute appointment at 330 and will probably be drinking my first glass of wine by 325. Today will be a good day.

Thoughts on today's Prop 8 decision
c-newt:
Here’s my two sentence summary:
Great for California. Makes no immediate (next 5 years) difference for the rest of the country.
Here’s my longer thought process: (As a disclaimer, I just read through the opinion once, I don’t have it in front of me right now, I’m tired, and I’m not actually a lawyer. Also, I’m trying to make this really accessible, so it may be a little bit...

Thoughts on my first day of work
Wow these kids make me feel old…
I am looking fly today, too bad no one here cares
You know, that third cup of coffee was probably overkill
Note to self: do not leave the house before 8 tomorrow
This is going to be a piece of cake
Dear Lord this office is HUGE, even if there aren’t as many windows…
I can already tell how I’m going to decorate this place
Man, it is...
Well, I can tell you this much
I did not miss driving to work at all. I wish there was a feasible way for me to take public transit to work.
The Ferris Bueller commercial wins tonight
Even if it was for a freaking Honda CRV.
Oh lord
That Chrysler commercial narrated by Clint Eastwood almost made me cry.

Safely back in Jacksonville
Work at 9am tomorrow after a 36 hour whirlwind trip from Chicago should be fun.
Miss the city already, but this will be a good time.

Oh dear god
They’ve taken control of the juke box. First on the request list: Striesand’s version of ‘Somewhere’ from West Side Story. Second song: ‘Bring Him Home.’ Third song: Celine’s ‘All By Myself’… in Spanish.
Ugh.
Currently
Drinking at a bar with a whole bunch of American Airlines flight attendants who are waiting to hear about their job status. For a bunch of people who might be out of work soon, they sure do enjoy buying me shots.

Decisions, decisions
Lunch:

NBC projects Mitt Romney as the Florida winner.
mar-see-ah:
56% reporting, Romney at 48%, Gingrich at 31%, Santorum at 13%, Ron Paul at 7%.
Gingrich is being called a “distant second.”
That’s because Florida is an all or nothing state. It wouldn’t matter if Gingrich was 9 or 90% away from Romney, NG will still walk away with nothing.

Two Things
I’m not sure what my roommate is doing, but she is making so much damned noise right now that it sounds like she’s sawing the house in half. So, so, so glad I am moving in three days.
I have not left the house since I got home Sunday morning and I am finding it increasingly difficult to do so. I need to go downtown for a spell to go suit shopping but I’m afraid that once I...

Where The Wild Things Are
thenewusonia:
We meet people and fall in love and when we part they leave marks for us to remember them by. Our lovers sculpt us, they define us, for better or worse. Like a pinball we slam into them and rebound in a different direction propelled by the contact and after the parting we might be scarred. Stronger or my fragile or needy or angry or guilty, but never unchanged. Our lovers linger...
I seem to have developed a thought accent
You know, when you’re thinking to yourself and hear your own voice in your head? Yes, well, I just asked myself “What the ‘ell’s me problem? Get out of bed and eat a proper meal for once, ya bugger.”
I think I need to watch Steel Magnolias and To Wong Foo to somehow counteract this new development.
