Wednesday Morning Bullet Points

• I realize that it more than a little self involved to complain about the rain in terms of my life, especially when people are flooded out of their homes and such but I am going to do it anyway.  If I thought that there was a malevolent force in the universe responsible for all the bad things (AIDS, Tornadoes, Light Beer), I would assume that S/He was doing this because I am serious about training.  
• As part of my training, I have given up on tobacco use.  Yesterday, I was in bed by 9:00.  My head was aching and I was feeling like ass and the slightest disturbance of my (a text message, phone call, or the sound of the rain on the window) quiet was enough to set me off.  It was not nice.  I mean, I have been happy all summer long and then at the end I choose to do this to myself?  WHAT WAS I THINKING?
• I am better today and will be even better tomorrow.  
• Everything that comes out of Tina Brown's mouth makes me angry.  I will never forgive her for ruining reading favorites and now I am thinking that she should be deported.
• Oh, Hipster Hitler!

• I forgot to mention it, but TEA painted me his own version of the Nott Memorial, framed it and gave it to me for my birthday.  It made me very happy.

Bullet Points

• I have developed a crush on Annie Jacobsen.  This is bizarre.
• My stomach is back to 100%.
• My back is at 75% which means it is 200% better than it was on Sunday.
• I received the most amazing compliment today and it has left a smile on my face.
• Corporate Challenge and TEA's baseball game this afternoon.  I am already overscheduled.

Bullet Points for Easter Sunday

• Ashley won the contest and will be having dinner with me at New World.  You can see her winning entry on Facebook.
• Brunch is one of those things that makes life better.  It is proof that we are doing something right, and it is uniquely American.
• After complaining about using e-readers (even with both Teacher Dave and my sister Abbey on Friday), I installed an e-reader on my iPhone and spent some time this morning reading a number of different things.  Yes, I am a hypocrite when it comes to this, I own it.
• I need to go down and visit my father.  When should I go? (June would be too hot, no?)  Anyone want to see me when I am on Marco Island?
• Comparing someone to Frank from 30 Rock (ans saying that they are not as funny) was awesome in the moment, but then struck me as mean, if true.
• The Mets have won three in a row.  That being said, we are going to lose today.
• The last three nights I have had great dreams and I am left wondering what my subconscious is going to do to me as a punishment.
• Why yes, I am wearing a bow tie.  It is Easter Sunday.  Though, for me, it is just another Sunday.

Late Wednesday Bullet Points

• I am really looking forward to trying these!  Thanks, Heather!
• Would anyone else be interested in doing a Beer & Book Club the first week in February?  I am thinking about meeting at McGeary's and discussing something new and off the beaten track?  Any ideas on the book?
• I missed this until this morning when I was catching up, but Meghan McCain and Rachel Maddow are going to a NRA Convention together.

• Noticing the outpouring of grief that I saw among my friends for Sargent Shriver has been lovely.  He was a great man and all, but he spawned Maria.
• Does anyone know where I can find the video of Jon Stewart talking about the football game on Sunday?  The clip is great and the full episode is available on thedailyshow.com but I want the part that goes from "Suck it Patriots" to "dick". Any help would be appreciated.
