My boyfriend tried to play that clip for me last night. I can refuse to watch things!

Thank Og we didn’t have to slice the cornea.

I plan to show, but I’ll have to call myself a bit of a ‘maybe.’ There’s a possibility that I’ll have to work.

</div>

I’m in, but I won’t actually be of assistance this evening. What with hosting.

I injured myself over the weekend and have been directed by the medical authority person to walk as little as possible. I’m out this week.

(Nothing life-threatening. I’ll be there next week. Just taking it easy for the moment.)

As of this time of the morning, I’m a solid maybe with shades of probably, provided I get a certain amount of work done. Haven’t discussed it with the guy yet.

Reminder for people attending: Aaron’s hosting, which means round 1 is current events, which means a quick perusal of USA Today’s news today is probably a good idea.

Depends on the weather. If it stays the way it is now, I’ll be there.  
If it starts to get colder or starts snowing again, I may not.

If you’d been there last week, you’d have seen my team come in seventh place. So, you are not only calling me a ‘cheetah,’ but saying I’m no good at ‘cheeting.’ And you spell with a horrible accent. I am offended.
