I woke up this morning with both cats sleeping next to me. One against my stomach, one against my legs. The affect, in addition to being warm and cute, was that I was pinned in bed. Wearing warm bed clothes with a reasonably high friction coefficient, compounded by my brain being the battleground between slumber and alertness, made for a difficult time getting out of bed.

Normally, when I move in bed, the cats might get a little skittish and move out of the way. But no. They were little fur-lined bricks of snuggling. I had to lift one up and move him over in order to make my egress.

Funny thing last night. I work. I work out. I decide to take my book and stop off at Brew it Up for a salad, soup and a beer. I ran into modeleccentric, having his pre-work libations. So much for reading.

Series of disjointed comments.

Fun, busy day here. Envsioning lots of morbid scenarios, and then trying to think rationally. Good, clean fun.

I must watch Apollo 13 again.

More coffee, please.

I'm not sure if you folks have seen this yet:

The Program on International Policy Attitudes(PIPA) out of University of Maryland performed a survey earlier this month and at the end of September.

Bush Supporters Still Believe Iraq Had WMD or Major Program,
Supported al Qaeda

Agree with Kerry Supporters Bush Administration Still Saying This is the Case
Agree US Should Not Have Gone to War if No WMD or Support for al Qaeda

Bush Supporters Misperceive World Public as Not Opposed to Iraq War,
Favoring Bush Reelection

You can find the report here.

The staged bombing and hostage situation at work was quite fun and informative. The local hostage negotiators and swat team members from the sheriff's office were *fine*. Have mercy!

One friend was an actress. She suffered a traumatic amputation. she had to hold her arm under her shirt so that all that showed was this elbow maded up to look like a meaty severed boney arm. How nice of her to share her makeup job with the rest of us while we were eating. Mmmm.

Now I'm home, tired yet wired. I must be at work at 8am tomorrow. Bleh.
