Well, that's nice to wake up to.

Alberto Gonzales resigned. Good riddance.

Oh, and I found out when I ran out for groceries that tomorrow is the first day of school around here. I'm such a mean lady. I want to run up to some little kid around here and say, "Hey, you want to go to the zoo tomorrow? Oh, wait, you can't, you have school." Not that I don't like school or kids, there's just a certain point towards the end of summer when I'm like, "They're going back to school and away from me soon, right?" *shrugs*

And I watched the entirety of High School Musical before because I was too lazy to change the channel. I ... don't get it. I mean, it's not completely dreadful or anything, and far be it from me to knock anybody else's Disney Channel fandom when I'm gleefully give up an entire day to watch a Halloweentown marathon, but I ... just don't get it. I don't get what the big deal is or why it's more entertaining than any other of Disney's cheesy but mildly entertaining TV movies. Although I do find it amusing that at the end of the movie when Zac Efron and the cute girl he's got a crush on dance off into ... uh, half-court, and his buddy dances off with her buddy that he just asked out, the blond chick dances off with her twin brother. Uh, okay, Disney.

Er, it's possible I'm feeling a bit bitchy today. Did I mention the writer's block is still going strong? *sigh*

Blaaaaaargh.

A few things:

1. On Serious Literature, by Ursula K. LeGuin. Awesome.

2. affectingly, have you seen this Kelly Clarkson picture? It's on Go Fug Yourself, but it's a Well Played post. She looks so cute! Well, okay, she looks hot, but I seriously want to steal that dress.

3. poisontaster, this week's Top Chef is the All-Star episode, where Season One and Season Two had a cook-off. I know I said not to watch Season Two, but this should be safe. Here's what you need to know:

( Basically, that the first season rocked and the second season is skeevy and gross. But specifically ... )
