You know your favorite NFL team is in trouble when your bye week comes up and you still wonder who you're going to lose to. People here are saying the one good thing about the Rams bye week this week is that we won't pick up another loss.

I said to one guy last night, "Don't count on it!" The Rams are so bad that I figure we'll pick up an L on our bye week anyway. But we beat Detroit. No 0-16 this season! Woohoo!

I woke up this morning and found the kitchen shears missing. I got paranoid and made sure I wasn't missing anything on me, but I forgot that my husband was using it on his bike for something last night.

If you saw Antichrist, you'd understand.

Edit: Found them.

Martha Stewart is doing a cheese show. I can probably polish off that whole cheese plate in no time.

I never wanted to do this. I never wanted to peddle wigs all day for a pack of abusive idiots.

I wanted to be. . . A LUMBERJACK!!!

I just sent one of the weirdest texts ever.

This evening, a friend called me that I had not heard from in over a year. Turns out she'd called and emailed and I never got her messages. Anyway, some time ago, we did a porn party at her house with a group of friends where we had some dinner and watched a bunch of bad porn and generally criticized the actors, their techniques, etc. Good times! I had brought some more peculiar titles from my collection for her perusal, as she had expressed curiosity.

Well, I forgot about them, and we had lost touch by the time I remembered. So we talked tonight, and we're meeting with a group of friends tomorrow. I forgot about it on the phone, so I texted her.

I texted, "Oh I forgot. You still have some of my porn. Can you bring it tomorrow?"

Her response, "Do I really?"

Too funny!

I am ENRAGED at our state government's fiscal irresponsibility. Seriously - our governor wrote a letter this past summer basically telling all the school boards to use the federal stimulus money to increase teacher salaries and now guess what? They're going to hack the state aid to education to BITS for the next TWO YEARS because the government can't manage their money Seriously, I have ZERO respect for our governor

Could be worse. Could be the previous governor of Missouri, who abolished all funding for contraception out of the state budget to appease the Christian right-wingers who elected him. Which has not yet been restored in the budget, and probably won't this year, even though we now have a Democratic governor. We can't let women have reproductive options; no, that's no good.

We just had to cut our budget about $200 million, but state leaders refused to cut any direct funding for education. Finally, we get SOMETHING right in this state!

So I found out that country music legend George Jones is going to do a show in St. Louis--on Saturday when I can't go! Not that I could really afford to go anyway.
