less money, mo’ problems I’m glad that my laziness of not going to the bank on Friday at least means that a good chunk of my income was not in the account when I lost my ATM card. I just hope it got sucked back into the machine. That’s at least where I think I lost it. (And yes, I’m totally eye-rolling at myself and my ridiculous self-absorption. This better be a good week. It’s not starting out well as of 7:30 am on Monday.)

“ His Joker is wonderfully textured, with a weird lip-smacking facial tic and a shoulder-hunching gait. He’s also very funny—a funniness that has more to do with timing than with the usual villainous catchphrases. In two different scenes, Ledger gets a big laugh from his delivery of the following lines: “Yeah” and “Hi. ” -

I’m glad someone mentioned the fact that Heath Ledger’s joker is quite hilarious. The hospital scene is fabulous.

accountability

Broke my “edge” last night with a glass of white wine. I still have no real desire to drink and am wondering if I should restart the 30 days. Why am I turning into a freakin’ monk?

Next thing to eliminate: sugar.

Oh no! Migraines?

wolfandfox:

It seems as though I will have to give up coffee forever, so I deliberated at length over what to order at Starbucks today. Can anyone explain the java giant straying into Jamba Juice territory? I had the chocolate Vivanno and it tasted like chalk.

Random Trivia From Dissertation Data Collection

Mildred O’Neill, widow of the late former House Speaker Tip O’Neill, died in her sleep on October 6, 2003. According to her obituary in the Boston Globe, she was napping so that she could watch a Red Sox playoff game later that evening.

The Sox, BTW, won that night and went on to play in the 2003 ALCS against the Yankees. We all know how that turned out. (Aaron Boone.)

“ Stella looks like Cher but every time Cher turned right to get Botox injections, Stella turned left onto the Bowery to score. She seems permanently stuck in the junkie lean and has the monotone intonation that accompanies central nervous system damage. I don’t know about you all, but watching her makes me really nervous. She almost went home but Lloyd from Entourage went home instead. This is a good thing since watching her is exhilarating albeit in a bum fights kind of way. ” -

Best description ever!
