This spooks me a little. In part because Bush postponed his annual physical this year, and in part because so many of the people on my friends list have mentioned that the left side of his face looked a bit slack at last night's debate. (Not that I'm saying anything's happened to him, but honestly, what the hell?)

The man in that speech from ten years ago ... well, I probably wouldn't have voted for him, but I'd at least have listened to what he had to say.

Am currently watching The Count of Monte Cristo. It's not the best movie in the world, but Goatee!Jim Caviezel and the Cristo-spawn and all the pretty, pretty costumes make it total eye candy.

My favorite part is the bit where Edmond is told Mondego has a son. Cut over to the Mondegos, when the Cristo-spawn first walks into the room looking exactly like Edmond. Hee! When I went to see it in the theater, everybody in the audience rolled their eyes at that point, 'cause the only thing missing was a flashback to Edmond gleefully shagging Mercedes on the beach sixteen years earlier saying, "You remembered to take your pill, right?!"

Bill O'Reilly was on his show today, surprise of surprises. He only made a crack about the lawsuit once, telling someone on the phone not to sue him or something. Trust me, if it wouldn't have been the least bit substantial, I would have written it down. I think the only thing I did write down was when in response to something Kerry said in the third debate, O'Reilly said that Kerry was Reagan's greatest enemy in the Senate. Uh, yeah. Either he's Reagan's greatest enemy in the Senate, or he didn't do shit for twenty years. Make up your mind.

Today was Change Your Computer's Wallpaper Day at work, except for me, apparently. Everybody else who's lucky enough to get the Internet on their computers got to play, but I had to get them theme wallpaper because it turns out I'm the computer genius at DHL. (Who knew?) So by the end of the day, I'd given Lieutenant Asshat a Kill Bill background (this one, which I just put on my own computer) and the Town Crier a Finding Nemo wallpaper. As for my work computer, all I could do was change the accent colors to that festive green and the wallpaper to a deep maroon. And if Bossman gets snarky and asks what it's supposed to be a wallpaper of, I'm going to say the maroon is the blood of unruly customers, and the green represents the leafy vegetation I buried them under in a fit of email withdrawal.

Speaking of email withdrawal, I set up my cell phone to take emails today, only to have Sprint conk out on me for most of the day. Then after about three hours of deprivation, I did some stupid maneuver over by the counter and made a crack to the Grouch about email withdrawal. As soon as I said the words, some guy at the counter laughed in that "I hear ya, buddy" kind of way, as if I'd look over and see him giving himself a prison tattoo of the entire Hotmail webpage on his forearm or something.
