I miss having long hair. Like, really long, wild, crazy hair. Professionalism be damned!

Realized the other day that the Star Trek movie comes out in May... which means my Halloween costume is sorted. Win!

It's time for a hockey game. It's always time for a hockey game.

Phone call I just received:

Female voice: “Hey, it’s [unintelligible]. You’re right – it is goofy.”

Me: “Yes, it is. [pause] Wait a minute... who is this?”

Female voice: “Oh, I’m sorry, I was trying to call Bernadette.”



My coworker, upon hearing about said phone call: "And yet, consensus was achieved!"

I'm standing in the kitchen, arms folded and hunched over from being in a freezing conference room all morning, and a coworker barrels in and says this rapid-fire:

"That's a nice sweater. That's a really nice sweater. And I like your haircut. And I like the way it's cut in the back. You're doing good."

I think there was an unspoken , kid at the end of it, and she grinned at me and swept back out of the room.

Huh. I'll take it!

This? This is AMAZING.



The lyrics had me falling out of my chair laughing - and the guy is a crazy good vocalist. WIN!

It's finally here, and maybe tomorrow I can go back to a normal life without constantly refreshing CNN and Wonkette and every other stupid political hack website out there.

Walked over to my polling location (a lovely old church) this morning, marveled at the line stretching around the corner and down the better part of two neighborhood blocks, shook Mayor Fenty's hand as I got to the end of the line, and prepared to wait. Fenty's a very handsome man.

I paused at the end of the touch-screen process to take a deep breath and read the names on the screen. It's history, you guys. Who would've thought?

One story that damn near made me cry (in a pre-coffee, post-voting daze)... ( from WonketteCollapse )

It took me most of the day to put a name to the face, but I'm pretty sure I walked past former Senator Bill Frist on my way to work this morning!

I don't know whether to be excited that I've run into another DC celebrity, or annoyed that he's still around. We made eye contact and he looked smug, like "damn right you recognize me."

ha ha, don't you want to do this with post-its in your office? Must've taken... days.

Rep. Westmoreland calls Obama "uppity"

Georgia Republican Rep. Lynn Westmoreland used the racially-tinged term "uppity" to describe Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Thursday.

Westmoreland was discussing vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin's speech with reporters outside the House chamber and was asked to compare her with Michelle Obama.

"Just from what little I’ve seen of her and Mr. Obama, Sen. Obama, they're a member of an elitist-class individual that thinks that they're uppity," Westmoreland said.

Bwah!
