Quick bits

1) This has got to be the worst news story I've read in weeks: Transport truck accident looses penguins, other cold-water exotics onto Texas highway.

2) Happy times with the voting thing yesterday as Trinity pet candidate Jolie Justus wins in the primaries. She'll be the Dem candidate for MO state senate, and we dig that. She was probably the leftmost candidate in the field, which is apparently not usually a winning strategy in this part of the world. It is, however, a winning strategy in our house, where somebunall of us are reputed to be somewhere left of communism.

3) It has come to pass that they're putting new carpet in my office. This will require that I should pack up all my shit and move it elsewhere so that they can work in here over the weekend. It also means that if I'm going to paint in here (and I am -- the walls in here look like crap and do not fit my theme of copper-colored world domination), I need to do it between the Time of Packing and Monday, when I should be able to move back in. So, if anybody was really itching to paint things, I wouldn't mind a little assistance... Bribes can be negotiated.

Do you have a copy of The Art of War (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0762415983/sr=1-1/qid=1155176373/ref=sr_1_1/103-6837529-4961428?ie=UTF8&s=books) in your office? According to Cubicle Warfare (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0761510664/sr=8-1/qid=1155176619/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-6837529-4961428?ie=UTF8), it's a subtle/not-so-subtle way to show that you're not likely to be intimidated. Which might be moot in your case, though. Because you always (or at least seem to always) give off that vibe anyways, just being you. ;)
