I just spilled cold coffee, leftover from a meeting earlier today, down my pant leg.
It feels super, looks smart, and I smell like Yuban.
I'm looking forward to the coffee-induced chapped leg that I'll have by tonight.

Question of the Day
What's the deal with people/things that I like doing things that I don't like?!?
Example #1: http://wsucougars.cstv.com I went to the Cougar Athletics site today, because, apparently we're in the NCAA tournament, and I'd like to know more. You see, here in DC, it would seem that no one cares about or covers anything west of, oh, I'll say Fairfax Virginia. Once I'm at the site, I can't get rid of this annoying hovering pop-up-like ad for "tournament gear." (right, because I'm supposed to have both a home jersey AND an away jersey for game watching? Cripes.) I don't consider myself completely computer illiterate, so why is it so hard to get rid of this ad? It's blocking the site content and making me mad! Why Cougars, why?
Example #2: The deluge of e-mails from a Clinton family member (except, one the other day which was from Elton John) asking me to donate more money. I know it's a money raising game, but come ON. Can't we be gracious and just say thank you for what I've already given? Seriously getting a least 2 e-mails a day. These are almost getting to the point of ScarJo's "Please, vote for change" phone calls in terms of obnoxiousness. Why Hillary, why?

Question of the Day
Are there any Boeing Machinists out there who are capable of NOT using the phrase "bull crap" during national media interviews?
Follow-up question for tomorrow: Could someone --anyone-- with a vested interest in appealing the Air Force tanker contract to Airbus/Grumman please tell each and every Boeing Machinists to STOP speaking with media? I'm kind of thinking that they don't "sell" their ideas very well.

Bulb Watch 2008
I have officially gardened. I made an impulse buy at Costco this weekend- some bulbs. As in flower, not light. I was assuming that now is a good time to plant them, as they were for sale at Costco, and Costco is rad and wouldn't lead me astray, right??
Heck -if they don't bloom this year, there is always '09, yes?
I still need to prepare the dirt outside in the ground in order for it to support life, but last night, I planted some Begonia's in large pots. Some day, I hope to have these pots full of flowers on the front steps of my house. A girl can dream.
So, aside from playing classical music for and reading to my baby begonia bulbs, what can I do to make them flourish into productive members of my front porch? I'll be sure to post immediately if/when I see any signs of life.
I also pruned our rose bush. And when I say "pruned," I mean, "hacked away at."
