Take note of comma placement.

Cheering your ass involves the placement of a comma?

Let's all Cheer, Joseph's ass

I can't win, can I?

Do you really need to win this one? LOL

We cheer his ass either way, he wins!

I must win everything, he says with a maniacal look in his eyes.

RT: I wonder what kind of beer The President likes to drink?
Just in case I get to have one with him.

RT: First time using opentable.com. I liked it, easy restaurant reservations with no human contact!

I'm going to sound like an old "get off my lawn" type of person but I think people who are in their late teens have no business trick or treating unless they have a child with them.

I agree even though I remember my nieces doing it

I agree. A new student told me yesterday that this would be his first year not trick-or-treating. I just looked at him and rolled my eyes. And then I told him about my aunt who won't give out candy to anyone over 12.

If you're 18, you more than likely have ten bucks in your pocket to go buy your own candy.

If anyone knocks on my door tonight, I think I'll do a Benny Hinn and lay hands on them to cast out their demons and see what kind of reaction I get.

I've now been working on two CDs for a birthday gift to give tomorrow. One is easy because I'm copying (gasp!) Raising Sand by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss. The other is a Tori Amos best-of mix. That's the one I'm having trouble with because I'm going through a lot of old concert bootlegs online to find the best live versions of the songs, plus a few she only performs live. Some have great quality and some don't. The track list is now set. Now I'm working on the arrangement.

I always agonize over making mixes. I need to stop caring about details and slap a playlist together, burn it, and be done with it.

I might do a Hem best of, as well, because that won't take me as long. I won't have 17 years worth of material and live bootlegs to go through to do that. But I'm not sure if the birthday person's tastes would mesh well with Hem. They might be to low-key.

I did all that work and didn't realize that I'm out of CDs!

That's why I keep a backup bundle just in case I run low.

Apparently I was using my backup bundle.

RT: I have had the mulligrubs all day. I did what I had to do, came home, and made a bowl of real oatmeal with bananas, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Sex with a Prostitute is like a box of cchocolates, you never know what you will get!

And this knowledge comes from experience?

RT: I have been really excited about the movie, Precious. This line stings, "Opens on Friday in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta." I can't wait to get finished down here and move back to civilization. Yeah, it's just a movie and it will be eventually released everywhere. But this only an example. There is little here, culturally-speaking. We get everyone else's leftovers.
