I’m watching the State of the Union address on Fox, just to amuse myself. I think I might end up hurling something at the TV screen before it’s all over. ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] Oh my God. He is claiming NCLB has succeeded?!?!?!?!!?! GAHHHHHHHHHHH. :: frothing at mouth :: [/QUOTE] This is why I didn’t watch it. I can’t afford to replace the television I’d break or the gas it’d take me to drive to DC to slap the shit out of him or the thirty-odd years I’d be locked up in an undisclosed location. Dartboards, baby. Get yourself a dartboard. **rigs** , you’re well on your way to becoming a Curmudgeonly Librarian. I applaud you. I work with many of them and they are interesting people. Case in point: our [Government Docs guy](http://hereticallibrarian.blogspot.com/) who is a heretic. Complicated Roommate’s little brother goes before the court tomorrow to plead guilty to being an idiot. I should print up a Simpsons-like flyer for him: “So you’ve ruined your life.” ---

He is so uninspiring too. Good Lord. How did y’all 'Murrikins elect him in the first place? 😛 Nancy Pelosi is alternating between a fixed smile and an expression that is somewhere between :dubious: and :rolleyes:. And they showed someone laughing outright when Bush said “nucular.” Hah. ---

Random woman asking for President’s autograph: “You make me proud to be an American.” Well, that was painful. November can’t come soon enough. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] I found it almost amusing how Condi hoped up in boisterous applause each time they had the ceremonial applause. [/QUOTE] My personal favorite was when Bush admonished Congress for not following his plans for privatizing SS - and the Democrats stood up and applauded. You could hear the Republicans booing. I was much amused. ETA: Oops, that was from 2006. I was re-watching clips online and got them mixed up. It’s still amusing though. 😛 ---

I haven’t watched a presidential address since sometime in the Clinton administration. I figure I can read it faster than they present it (assuming I think it’s worth the effort), and there are enough discussion and analyses of them floating around that I’ll get the important parts. I got sick of the annoying politics of it all. I made the taco meat for the taco dip that I have to take to work tomorrow. I’m tired and off to beddie-bye… GT ---

[QUOTE=HazelNutCoffee] Between the SOTU and finishing The Dark Tower series today… [/QUOTE] Ooh, ooh. Reopen a thread about it. I finished it over two yars ago and still want to talk about it. Sure the seventh book was disappointing, but I was still so drawn in to the characters that I cried once, and almost twice. I come in the name of Jake Chambers, he of New York, whom I call my own true son!. ☹ ---

Morning all, it’s all bright and shiny over here today. Most unusual. Google Earth is fun, we managed to find our house and then realised how out of date the site is! Ours is the house with the red car outside except I don’t park on the street any more 'cos we had the front paved so there’s no scabby garden any more. And those big trees next door? Well, they’re gone now too, or at least most of 'em are gone ‘cos the owner cut them down to about 3’ high and hasn’t worked out that he might need professional help to get the rest out. I need caffeine now, 'im indoors woke me up around 3am with his snoring and I just couldn’t get back to sleep. This weekend’s plan now includes buying a single-size airbed to go in the study so I can sleep in there while he’s rumbling away all night. See, we don’t have any spare beds in the house. It’s all part of the eventual renovation plans, except they’re my plans and not his so it’s unlikely they’ll ever happen. But the disturbed nights and general lack of sleep is making me depressed and weepy. That cannot be allowed to continue. Sleep must be had. ---

Rest of taco salad stuff is done and packed. Just need to throw it into a bag and I’m good to go. Now, what else was I going to do this morning? Where is everyone? GT ---

I’m here … for a few, that is. Up and caffeinating and getting ready for work. It’s supposed to get up to 50 here today, but alas it’s just a tease. LOL Back to the cold tomorrow. At least that’s the threat of the weather people. Happy Tuesday all - 3 days til Firday! 🙂 ---
