As Emily would say, FAN-TAS-TIC. I would like to add the following items to my list of "technology things that suck tonight":

1. Safari
2. Radio Userland's website
3. Digital River's website

That's about all I can bear to type at the moment. Suffice it to say, I am not having a very fun night at the computer.

Oh My God. Am I the last one to know everything? Did everyone else know that Nomar Garciaparra and Mia Hamm were engaged? I need to read a book and calm down. Goodnight.

Local news sucks. If you have ever in your life watched any local news, I don't think I need to elaborate.

Warning: Completely Shallow Commentary to Follow!

I saw so many fashion and social faux pas on my way to and from lunch yesterday that my head was spinning. Women (and girls) of the world, hear this: just because you are skinny does not mean you aren't flabby. In other words, just because you wear size 4, don't assume that you can wear low-riding tight-fitting pants, because it does not look good if the pants cut sharply into your flab and you have big blobs of flabby flesh hanging over your pants. This is a common mistake for the skinny set. Also, please note that the same rule applies to the less skinny. That doesn't mean you can't wear low-riding pants - of course you can - but please do try to take note (before going out in public) of just how tight those pants are, and what the view looks like from behind. Also, something which is becoming more and more upsetting to me is something which I believe a friend of mine calls OPL, short for Obvious Panty Line. I don't want to see your underwear through your pants/skirt/dress. Trust me, most people don't. Especially since I'm not talking about people wearing sheer pants and sexy lingerie. I'm talking about people wearing ill-fitting underwear and ill-fitting pants/skirts, etc. on top. No one should be wearing undies that change the shape of your rear. And every woman in the world should have a mirror at home that she can use to see if she is going to look ridiculous from behind.

Next item. Please, in the name of all that is decent and holy, do not, I repeat, do not mill slowly down the street with your friends, taking up the entire width of the sidewalk. Do you not understand how frustrating this is? Do you not see everyone else rushing around you?

And finally, I am writing this at work though I can't post it till later and I am covering part of Priscilla's lunch break. I am unduly annoyed with people calling the main switchboard today. I got several idiot calls in a row. Someone called and asked for Mike. Well, we have 5 Mikes. Don't be an idiot. Then I said, "Mike who?" and the person acted dumb. I said, "What is it you want?" then he acted like I was being rude. Finally he said, "He's, like, an IT Director." So at this point obviously you know that he isn't calling for a legitimate reason, he's a sales-y guy or something. So I say, "Oh, you mean Mike _________, our SysAdmin?" He then says, "What?" So you're a sales-y guy calling to harass our IT department and you don't even know what a SysAdmin is? Try again, ass-eyes.
