  • 11:48 @mkcho73 They are a god-fearing restaurant, and they keep the sabbath holy by not serving delicious fast-food chicken. #
  • 11:49 @jimmyaquino Woooo, Maximus! Give him a necklace of the skulls of his enemies for me. #
  • 11:50 HUZZAH! Colin Powell just endorsed Obama! I can’t wait to see how the McCain campaign spins this. #
  • 12:17 Powell’s MtP endorsement is a well-reasoned, empathetic analysis. Always refreshing to see that in politics. tinyurl.com/69lwa7 #
  • 13:51 @xiehicks Oh, man. GORGEOUS. Where was this? #
  • 17:14 @jimmyaquino Most of the time I share with a friend, or I take 2/3 home for leftovers. #
  • 17:15 @edeainfj Oh, hon, I’m so sorry! You and she will be in my thoughts. #
  • 17:55 6pm, and I’m veering napward. Of course, if I go to sleep now, I’ll probably wake up at 3am and be incapable of going back to sleep. Arg. #
  • 19:06 @mkcho73 That’s what I love about my neck of the East Village. NO STARBUCKS! #

  • 11:47 WAH. Yesterday’s predictions were correct. I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a voice an octave lower than normal. #
  • 11:48 Was hoping to do phone banking for Obama all day, but that’s not happening. Maybe data banking. But do I want to expose volunteers to cold? #
  • 19:24 Took four-hour nap. Clearly, volunteering will have to wait for tomorrow. #
  • 21:13 @xiehicks @fredhicks Welcome back! Hope you had a fabulous, relaxing time. #
  • 23:37 Palin on SNL’s cold open — not rude enough to be considered a slap in the face; not charitable enough to engender sympathy for her. WIN! #

  • 10:15 McCain’s moment of utter gobsmackitude, btw: tinyurl.com/3u5w4b #
  • 10:22 @mkcho73 Yes. Yes it is. Have you ever seen it rain on that show? #
  • 11:15 Screw you, New York Metro, for spoiling the season finale of Project Runway on your front page. :P #
  • 11:35 @mollycrabapple Knife? Nah. He used a stake. :D Glad to hear the MoSex event went so well! Wish I could have gone. #

My beloved Becky is facing a tight financial situation, and she’s opened up shop for graphics commissions! See her post on the subject and check out some sample graphics here.

Kat and I have invented a new game: Flan In the Cupboard! See how many ways you can describe the slow collapse of the McCain campaign in a pithy metaphor.

Me: like a punctured tire
Kat: An air mattress with a hole you just can’t find.
Me: a week-old mylar balloon
Kat: A Coke left out all night.
Me: Violet Beauregarde in the hands of the Oompa-Loompas
Kat: Those giant balloons the day after the Rose Parade.
Me: A randy young guy who just discovered the hot chick he picked up at a bar has a suspicious bulge.
Kat: A bitten-into dumpling.

I think you can tell what I thought of the third Presidential debate. :D

Man, watching political anything is infinitely better when I’m with Ko. Yes, my beloved college roommate crashed at my apartment last night! She flew out of JFK at crazy o’clock this morning, so it was my job to deny her beauty sleep through obnoxious giggling and general tomfoolery. We heckled the debate with an enthusiasm that would shame Rocky Horror audiences, exchanged much-needed back rubs, and squealed over photos of Ko’s new gerbil and the surprise babies that came a week later. SO CUTE! She’ll be in and out of NY the next few weeks, and I look forward to more of the unquenchable silliness that accompanies our reunions!

  • 09:57 @sinspired Work is overrated, especially when the alternative is Tony Stark and Harry Dresden. #
  • 10:00 @Wraithmaker No way! Yesterday afternoon, I kept incessantly chanting bits from "Rock Island" at my coworkers. Mmm, Music Man synchronicity. #

  • 17:38 @boymonster I KNOW. My patience with the "Heroes" writers is wearing out FAST. #
  • 17:43 I think it’s impossible to listen to "Urinetown" OBCR on headphones without making silly faces and/or subtly dancing in chair. #
  • 21:57 Daaaang, McCain’s gettin’ SCHOOLED. #
  • 22:02 WOW. Did you see McCain’s utterly GOBSMACKED look when Obama mentioned the small business health insurance tax exemption? GLORIOUS. #
  • 22:06 @hodgman Can we have an adze? That’s a good Scrabble word. #
  • 22:20 @fourteenacross No spoilers! I’m watching it tomorrow. #

Coworker: I have one change for you guys. The cashier’s apron needs to be blue.
Me: Pale blue, sky blue, bright blue, slate blue, navy blue?
Coworker: Dannon blue.
Me: So like, Container Store blue?
Coworker: Dannon blue!
