Where were you? I was home. I declined a substitute teaching job that day. I am so thankful I wasn't in a classroom of kids. I turned on my tv in time to see the second tower hit.

Really, there is no need to update my status: today is the same as yesterday. Well, except that I might be feeling a bit more prickly.

Today, a bank customer told me he hopes Barney Frank gives me a shot in the ass because I deserve it. It was one of those Mondays.

I never understood that Carly Simon song, "You're So Vain." I mean, she says, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you." But it *is* about him, so how can he be vain for thinking it so? 2009 had its moments, that's for sure, but on a personal level, meaning "it's all about me," I can't wait for 2010.
Travener, you're so vain that you probably thought that post was about you... well, it totally was about you, but you are still vain for thinking that it was about you, which it was. Clearly. About you. :)

Tina Lynn, I absolutely should have included "nachbar!" 'Cept that place deserves its own post.

This is the dumbest list I've ever read! Nobody cares, not even facebook. The entire Internet wishes it could puke right now.

I laughed my ass off with these! I do have a favorite pair though. (:

And to that looser troll: piss off, fart-knocker.

Ragnaar real troll, not like fake dimwit Anonymous who never eat children with herring sauce or face down Billy Goats Gruff.
In defense of my blog post, I did ask for a troll yesterday in Sierra Godfrey's comments.

It looks as though, if you put it out there into the world, the internet gods will reward you!

Diaz, which is your favorite pair? The one about my potential divorce? I think that will be the subject of my next TMI Thursday post. I'll write about being thankful for a forgiving husbter.
jayme said…

Jm Diaz said…
Yes indeed. Those are the ones! ;)
Sierra Godfrey said…
My favorite was certainly the possible divorce one.

fetal friday?

I know that I left everyone hanging yesterday. You know, when I went to pee on that stick. (That was mean of me. Not the peeing, but the leaving hanging.) Well, I think the big reveal is best expressed in letter form. Deep breath. Here goes. dear unborn baby daughter son or daughter, I take it back. I take back everything I said about not wanting kids. I was just scaredspice, and the slightest bit selfish, and maybe I had a giant fear of commitment. But, three positive test results in the last eighteen hours seem to say that you actually are in there, getting all comfy. I guess you'll probably be here in mid-December. I never thought about having a Christmas baby. (You've really put a wrench in my whole taking-maternity-leave-during-the-NCAA-tournament plan, but that's okay. At least it's basketball season. Don't tell Daddy yet, but you are going to cheer for the Indiana Hoosiers.) Speaking of Daddy, I take back all the mean things I've ever sa...

Brett and Alice's Writing Style is the Real Crime Here

Here is a nearly sentence-by-sentence reconstruction of Brett and Alice's most recent episode of their podcast "The Prosecutors" - titled Adnan Syed is Guilty. I will not be utilizing the strikethrough in every sentence but will do so when I am compelled and will try to bold sections I've added. I've highlighted some of my favorite and most poignant edits.  I've tired and failed to stay away from a bit of snark. This endeavor was exhausting.  My work will illustrate how Brett Talley and Alice LaCour use narrative spin to bring you their version of events that they want to, for whatever reason, call "facts." I start just before the 4 minute mark.  Transcript So,, Adnan Syed and Hae Min Lee dated for quite some time  when they were in high school, starting around March 1998. They’d stay together for the next 9 months or so, though they broke up twice during that period.   They were on-again off-again until around Halloween and broke up for good before...
