Monday

Once again, my inner 19th Century noblewoman is flaring up and wants to languish in my bedchamber while my servants tend to my whims. Alas, I am at work instead

Before I forget, thanks to those who sent me holiday cards, be they snail or E-cards. I've been remiss in expressing gratitude. I just checked my mailbox this weekend and got one from reannon. Thank you!

I have some database monkeying and data reporting to do today. My brain feels rather thick at the moment. Feh.

Otherwise, it was a delightful weekend, and so begins the journey to the next one.

I hope you good folks are having a fine Monday.

I agree with hotcoffeems, today's Google art is great.

World events: decapitation by hanging?! Ouch. However, I hope that meant a quicker death. The description of the Iraqi hanging was rather gruesome, though.

Condi in Israel: More diplomatic pressing of flesh, but BBC holds a dim view of the US's endeavors. It's really sad to see our international perception so dim.

24 last night. I swear, if we got a nickel for every time the president didn't listen to Jack and therefore exacerbated an international incident, we'd end poverty. This guy has a well established history of doing the right thing, and sacrificing his life and family for his country. And yet, the President still takes the advice of his desk jockeys. Sure, sure, we wouldn't have a series without it. I'm just sayin'.
