what the HECK is wrong with the CUBS?! Five losses in a row? GUYS GET IT TOGETHER OMG.
Every day I wake up and thank the gods I have never had a migraine headache - or had to get a root canal for that matter…my thoughts are definitely with you - and for fraks sake - we can cure polio, stop the rain [at least China says they can] and a whole host of sorrybarb other shit and we can’t cure headaches?! WTF
In other news, here in Idaho [where our lisence plates proudly state “famous potatoes”] not only does life suck because wildfires are smoldering all around - making my eyes water, lungs sieze, and allergies ignite - but I’ve got to hear every single moron, I mean person, from people I wait on to the grocery checker point to the front page of the illustrious Idaho Statesman and smile about stupid Palin and actually state they believe McCain has locked in his chances at president…I just want to state for the record that I wasn’t born, raised, or plan to stay here for much longer…
In other life sucks news, I’ve also got tendonitis near my right elbow and am going away with the husband and dogs tomorrow for a long weekend of downhill mountain biking fun at Tamarack near McCall [for those in the know].
Don’t expect miracles. They haven’t even cured baldness by the 24th century. 
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Actually they had, it’s just Jean-Luc chose to remain…ALERT! ALERT! Dork alert. Dork alert! How do I know these things? Oh I already established that. Yeah…well…Carry on.
It’s not easy to make geeks blush, frakk…but you did it.
So here’s my bitching for right now:
I run this new music group, as many of you know. We’ve gotten some recognition of late and received an academic residency for 2008-09. Perfect, right? Well, three weeks ago I attempted to have all of our rehearsals for the season booked at said institution of higher learning. A week after that, just before I left for a week in Indiana, I called again to make sure it was done and was assured that it would be before the end of August. So, Tuesday comes along and I hear nothing. So I called in yesterday and tried to find out what’s going on. Turns out NOTHING had been done. Not only that, but the person who took my call basically threatened to have our residency revoked if I didn’t “calm down.” After a few minutes of “I’m calm,” “no I’m calm,” we finally got things booked.
THEN he tells me that the hall in which we’re supposed to perform four times this year is going to be undergoing renovations (which had originally been scheduled for LAST summer, in 2007) from late September on. He assures me that these should be done by October though (but when have you known a contractor to finish a job on time) and our next concert on campus isn’t till December. So today I talk to the head of the department sponsoring us who agrees with me that most likely the hall may not be available and that we may have to perform in their large rehearsal hall. Now, this would be fine for a student ensemble, but for a professional group with an established image and growing reputation, it just isn’t acceptable. So now I’m looking at rebooking the entire season JUST IN CASE the hall becomes unavailable AND having to fulfill a residency contract (although should the hall become unavailable I may have to consider the institution in breach and pull out of the deal).
And because of this, none of the grant applications I wanted to spend the day working on got done. UGH!!!
Dude, I feel you. If I have to listen to a) one more sexist attack on Palin b) the hypocrisy of the news media when dealing with Palin vs. more liberal women candidates c) any politician give a speech, but particularly any part of Palin’s speech from last night, I think my head will explode.
splat
oops, too late.
Breaks my heart every season, but love means never to have to say your sorry. Hope remains.

Pssst…Hybrid Master isn’t a dude[/SIZE]
Dude, dude doesn’t mean Dude like dude once meant. you know. it just means dude. dames can be dudes.
Sorry. You’re right. Just the same way “guys” can mean guys or girls.
Dude, I was totally going to write back to the thing about how I say dude to and about any and everyone… but Mr. Lister Sir beat me to the punch. Dude. Man. Yeah. 
Straight up, man. You are a cool dude, Casilda.
Soooo, the Architect should have said, “We take 15 dudes to repopulate the human race.” Yeah that would have went over well. Then like a bunch of David Bowie’s Eddie Izzard’s and throw a RuPaul in there walking about.
That’s just funny, girlfriend!!
We are teh androgynous.
In much the same way that both guys and girls can be called “hey, chicky-baby”.
Certainly would have made for an entirely different kind of movie.
That’s just funny, girlfriend!!
We are teh androgynous.
Great minds… 
Eeeeew…Uh, can we get a Centurion to clean that up?
Remember to say “please”.
