is today over yet?

I want the working day to be over. I think in another hour or so I can escape without catching flak from anyone...though I'm going to be here all weekend, too. Yeah, I know I should be writing my prelim, but I can't seem to get in The Zone and don't want to write drivel that'll be more of a bitch to edit than just waiting for tomorrow.

Heh. Read this article this morning. I'm not really sure if I believe what they claim, but it's pretty entertaining.

So, this morning I almost got into a nasty car wreck.
( Cut for traffic ranting )

Bah. I love this town, but traffic laws are more along the lines of polite suggestions, and people here seem to forget that they have to pay attention to what's going on around them as soon as they slide behind the wheel. *sigh*

Quotes of the Day
When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.
-- Oscar Wilde, An Ideal husband, 1893

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

First there is a time when we believe everything, then for a little while we believe with discrimination, then we believe nothing whatever, and then we believe everything again - and, moreover, give reasons why we believe.
-- Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

wow...

Wow...two scorpios in the same room for hours on end and we don't manage to kill each other. Wait, it gets better. We share so many of the same tendencies, thought patterns, emotional quirks, and general life issues that I'm more impressed one of us hasn't offed the other to keep our secrets safe. But it's cool. She stays mostly in her head and I stay mostly in mine. We both know better than to try to pry out secrets or emotional trauma. It's kind of nice to not have to explain why I feel the way I do; she knows where I'm coming from, or can figure it out pretty damn easily. (hm. I wonder if that was an appropriate use of semicolon god, I'm a nerd) There are times when I wonder which of us is the more stable. Tonight, it's me. And that's good, and I realize that it doesn't really matter, anyway. *tired smile*
