Needless to say, the above does not bode well for the 2008 season no matter what the outcome.

It is probably why she decided to poison them.

In a display of solidarity, Eva Longoria makes a delicious (ha) delivery to the Writers Guild of America members who continue to strike Tuesday on the Los Angeles set of Desperate Housewives.

Because if she really cared, she'd have brought Girl Scout Cookies.
Mmmm.

I probably would. I fucking hate running.

Though, so far when I do the long-ass* walks on the weekend, I have never taken the iPod. But I'm moving slowly enough to window shop, and stopping to really look at things is not verboten since I'm focused more on the total distance than how long it takes me to cover it. I guess that means it's not cardio. Oh well.

*long-ass by my definition. ncs and Mr. Man walk these routes (well, one of them at least) without a second thought, and not really counting it as exercise.

I take long-ass walks at lunch. Er, or not long ass depending on who you ask. Ha ha. Actually I compared notes with the very thin receptionist and we walk the same route so I can't be that bad.

I listen to my Ipod nothing says walk like "Umbrella" or "The Way I Are" good way to push through the fanny pack wearing tourists pointing at the skyscrapers.

I am a major hard to get up person. The alarm goes off I hit snooze. I've recently tried to play head games with myself. "If you get up now, you won't have to drive like a madwoman to the train..."

Some people would read this post and think, "why would she bother? surely the effort to write such a post, small though it might be, vastly exceeds the benefit she and others could possibly derive from it." On the other hand, I read this post and marvel at the efficiencies you've attained in your posting techniques. I think you realize that neither you nor anyone else will really get much out of this post -- after all, who needs to know that you hit the snooze button? -- but you have become just so professional and advanced at reducing the costs of posting that you are able to generate content of this sort at near-zero marginal cost, realizing the scale economies latent in the technology and your own exceedingly low opportunity costs. Really, it's state of the art. Brava.

For some reason, I really enjoy running to "Bertha".

That's odd. They only use the words run or running ten times in the song.

Trust me, when people want to outsource, customer service quality is lost.

Therefore, you get the personal touch of someone who is sitting there composing posts at a very personal level. Yay, me! I am an argument for bringing outsourcing back. Instead, pile me up with 10 associates. Who needs Bangalore when you have efficient drones such as myself? Really, you could assign me to a whole floor. Why not. There are like already 20 or so odd atty hooked into my phone. Waste not want not. We are being groomed into being machines!

OK, I am already sick of the Christmas/holiday commercials. If I hear "Let it Snow" one more time before Thanksgiving, I'll scream.

That said, I have found a perfect generic winter gift for some people.

Totally Baked: A Pot-u-mentary" DVD
$19.99

Totally Baked hits on both the pros and cons for the legalization of Marijuana while still maintaining a care-free and uproariously funny tone guaranteed to please the viewers. It neither preaches nor admonishes the smoking of Marijuana but simply asks the questions, trying to find the truth about marijuana. "Should Marijuana be Legalized? If so, why? If not, why not? " Totally Baked encourages its viewers to have not just an opinion on the legalization of weed, but an educated opinion, all done in a humorous way. After it's premiere screening at the Austin Film Festival, Dale Dudley of KLBJ in Austin called it a "cult classic!" John Merriman from the Austin Film Festival says "It's hysterical and informative at the same time."

And this for my office.

Actually that reminds me I am reading a spectacular book, Good Calories Bad Calories by Gary Taubes.

I purchased my first clemintines of the season two days ago.

They were delicious.

[bold_n_brazen]

1. Someone called my house at ten 'til six this morning. Wrong number.

2. 90 minute conference call with annoying guy from South Carolina.

3. My kid's school is on lock-down because some dude shot a sheriff.

4. Scheduled to spend 2 hours with outside salespeople this afternoon.

5. Too pretty to be inside.

On the other hand, it's only Wednesday.
