Friday, rah

-0: Just when I thought politics couldn't disgust me any further, last night I saw this link over on firni's journal: VA Legislative Sentry: Have a Miscarriage, Go to JAIL?. And all I can say is, what the hell has the Virginia legislature been smoking lately?

-1: Weather.com is still hemming and hawwing about 'ehhh, the Seattle area MIGHT get snow this weekend'. <Zim>LIES! THE FILTHY EARTH WEATHERBEASTS LIE!</Zim>

+2: But at least it's Friday, and tonight mamishka, spazzkat, risu, solarbird, and I will gather for belated Christmas-gift-exchangy goodness.

+3: And tomorrow, I shall have to watch me an Elvis movie in honor of the birthday of the King.

+4: And keep working on the reorganization of the middle of the book.

-5: Stupid no snow yet.

Well, bugger

-0: On the way home from work this evening, I snapped the silver chain on which I wear my seven-pointed star. It got all tangled up in my scarf when I was trying to rearrange it and my purse and to get my badge out of the way--this is what I get for wearing the badge on the same chain, too. I almost lost the star itself, too, till I saw it on the ground at my feet.

-1: I got two boxes of fresh checks today, and discovered to my annoyance that Bank of America has pulled a new one in its long history of check misprintings. solarbird's name is spelled letter-perfect, including the apostrophes and the proper lower-case status of all letters following them, and our new address is correct as well. BUT MY NAME ISN'T THERE. At all. This is particularly annoying given that it's a jointly held account and I'm the one who placed the order for the checks in the first place. But at least I'll get replacement checks for free.

-2: We still have no snow. It can hold off till after mamishka and spazzkat come over tonight for present exchanging and get home safely again, but after all the buildup on weather.com and noaa.org about snow this weekend, there should damn well be SNOW.
