It isn't a bitchsmack to listen to NPR in the car anymore.

Barbra Streisand thinks it's safe to send email blasts again. (*checks email* *WHUTS*) Coward. WHERE YA BEEN.

Buncha junk in the White House? Where the heck are all the computers that had their 'W' keys removed by the departing Clinton staffers? (Vandalism, coming to the highest office near you. *eyeroll*)

(BTW, according to FOX uphill, backwards and in the snow both ways 'par for the course.')

Tried to put the garden in yesterday - got far enough along to get the new shiny bags of topsoil out of the car and MASHED my left index finger doing so. Blood, guts, gore, grime - had it all. Except the screaming. Didn't even have the presence of mind to curse - just finished the job, dressed the injury and sat down and watched the first Patlabor movie again. Damn if that isn't my happy place.

Typing today interesting. Ow.

For what it's worth, that whole thing about the missing W keys was a complete fabrication (http://archive.salon.com/politics/feature/2001/05/23/vandals/index.html). Of course, that news didn't come out until four months later, when the GAO completed its investigation and found "no record of damage that may have been deliberately caused by the employees of the Clinton administration."

I didn't even learn this until last year. Myths have incredible staying power, and corrections generally seem to get buried — they're not as juicy.

I asked - I got. Thanks!

(And it also proves my old saying - you always hear about people 'suing' for this or that, but you never hear about how those suits end. Like, in nothing.)

I knew that. It still doesn't stop me from wanting to believe it because I find it a funny, funny prank. :D
