Pulling a Donna Moss

So, like I told you, I don't get to go home to vote today, so instead I'm trying to convince my brother that he should vote my ticket for me. Even though this is not in exchange for my actual vote, I explained it by using this example from The West Wing, with Donna trying to get somebody to use their vote to count for hers, as she'd mistakenly voted for the other candidate on her absentee ballot.
This is torturous for my "I can't believe how liberal you are, are you freaking kidding me" somehow (I don't even know how, because seriously?) Republican brother, but I think I'm going to get him to do it. Apparently Martha Coakley needs all the help she can get today (again: I do not understand how it can be close, but according to the news it is), so I'm just glad I'll get 'my' say.

It's just water...

Thanks for the congratulations, everybody: it does feel good to hit a goal, that's for sure.  Unfortunately, between a very pokey rheumatologist appointment this morning and the steroid related fibro-flare I knew was coming (Stupid steroids), I feel a bit like a wet Mogwai right now:

Definitely untouchable, and barely able to shift in one direction or the other, and very, very glad I finished my words yesterday, so that pain brain is not keeping me from meeting the quota.  Gonna rest up for today, just make it through.  (Also, maybe I'll watch Gremlins, one of the least Christmas-y Christmas movies I love to watch.) 

What Healthy People Say to Sick People

 'I wish I didn't have to work, either.'

 'You seemed good yesterday'

'Maybe if you got out more?'

'Man if I couldn't do that...'

'I'm so jealous!' 

:sigh:  Too true, unfortunately.

O...K: that's different

Here are a couple more things that have caught my eye (via my Google Reader):

I don't care much for Russel Crowe, but I kinda have a crush on Scott Grimes, from way back in Critters, so I thought this was cute.

If you are not reading Sleep Talking Man, you are really missing out on some high quality, English-accented cussing. While asleep.

I want:

"But I want the pickle..."

Celebrity Jeopardy, as portrayed by SNL, is one of my go-tos when I need a laugh. I couldn't be happier that there was one I hadn't seen yet. :) Hope it gives you a giggle too.

I know, I know: Where have I been? Long, much delayed explanatory post to follow ASAP, but in the meantime, Here: have a video. Click the link. Let's get this thing passed.

:D

Hey Santa... let's rock!

Merry Christmas, all!

Some days the merits of hermit-dom seem really, really great.

The cheese in this video on sort-of makes me reconsider.

Sort of.
