I don't think @comcastcares is going to help
I tried to sign up for new Comcast service on Wednesday. I wanted the $66/month cable and internet service. I did the online forms, and then got stuck in a chat room waititng for a representative to talk to me. I think in Comcast’s world, they are called “analysts.” No one ever showed up to talk and I couldn’t go either back or forward to move on with the sign-up process. I...
Thanks but no thanks
Found out tonight I’d be scheduled to be the “on call” person at work on New Years Eve, in case the shit hits the fan. Guess who didn’t volunteer for that job but was scheduled anyway?
Not pleased about this latest development.

Oh jesus. Here we go again. Khalidi is certainly radical, and certainly no friend of Israel. But c’mon — you can’t associate Obama with every professor at the U of C and then say they are a terrorist. Twenty bucks says J. Mark Hansen is next :p

“good to know we’re repping liberals on all three coasts… i’ll raise a drink to laura’s new home, san fran, my new home, cambridge, and our shared old home, hyde park, which were totally called out together in an article from the washington post that brett shared with me: Judging by the swift demonization, Obama might as well live at the corner of Liberal and Kumbaya....
Someone I work with made fun of my previously pictured hat today at work. That person can suck it. My new hat is awesome.
Michelle Obama Fashion →
I love how she dresses. So classy, never hard, pulls off the pantsuit when needed, and rocks the broach. Nicely done, Mrs. O.

My Job
I got a ticket today at work that I didn’t know if it was spam or real.
Приветики! Теперь я узнала, что такое настоящий анальный секс. Это когда я кончила от того, что сперма брызнула внутрь моей раздроченной попки. Смотри во что она превратилась тут

Why Jaime continues to be my heroine.
oliviaisferosch:
Her 30th birthday is coming up soon.
She is having a party.
A themed party.
The party title, you ask?
Macathirty & Cheese.
AKA:
Mac & Cheese Potluck.
Someone get me an award-winning recipe.

I will email you one tonight. The one I have makes grown people cry with it’s goodness.

Oh Craigslist personals, how you entertain me at the end of the day.
So is the requirement the girl has clothes and hair? Isn’t that most people?
An astute observation. I do believe my standards have dropped, but I don’t think they’d drop to the point that my only requirement was hair, clothes and a love of ELO.

I think I’m basically constantly flirting with you, Ms. Ferosch.

We used to do this at Tails. I highly recommend it.
Running
oliviaisferosch:
I was going stir-crazy today, so I decided to finally try to start the oft-discussed Couch to 5K program, the same one that turned Miss Jaime into a svelte little running machine. I would like to lose about 10 pounds (or, more aptly, one dress size, since I have no idea how much I weigh anymore), but more than anything, I’d just like to be healthy. Given that the pool is closed...

Tagline: McCain says planetariums are foolishness. They’re not. Vote for Obama.

Friends and foodies, Tom Colicchio (Top Chef, Craft) has invited us to dinner.
Every other Tuesday for the next year, he’ll cook impromptu tasting menus in the private dining room next door to Craft (the former Craftbar for those with memories).
It will be an intimate, open-kitchen, whatever’s-fresh-at-the-market meal. He’s seating only 32 at a time, in tables of...

Kevin: it’s really nice to listen to Chicago Public Radio I take a certain amount of comfort in knowing that traffic is still really horrible
Ha! I felt the same way when I heard the Cubs had yet again lost. Must be the goat.

angierae:
If importing 4 blog posts violates the Notes usage, why do you allow people to import blogs? Why make the backlog load automatically (even though mine was inclusive of the 4 posts)? In any event, how does 4 notes constitute abuse?!
And finally, the FAQ tells you nothing other than that you’ve been blocked and they can’t tell you how, why, where, or when. Just that you were warned (not...

My adopted grandmother, Bobbie, passed away on Tuesday of last week. Bobbie lived next to my parents when they first moved to CA, and quickly became a close friend of theirs. Growing up, we had weekly dinners, where she would spoil me and my sister rotten while drinking her favorite wine: Clos Du Bois.
I visited her at 7:30 a.m. on the day before she died. She was unconscious, lying in bed,...
