HBO is making a film called Recount, which is about the 2000 Presidential election. There are some Florida Supreme Court and other scenes being filmed here in Tallahassee, where some of the original shit went down. Seven years ago people all over the world were watching the news and seeing their reporters broadcasting from a place that I could ( Read more... )

It seems that the trick-or-treating in Tallahassee has moved in an odd direction lately and I'm wondering if this is comon elsewhere. Apparently, a lot of parents drive across town so their kids can trick-or-treat in certain "nice" neighborhoods. One of my bosses lives in a newly built neighborhood that is packed full of very nice houses. She ( Read more... )

Since I have spent some time in the past 4 or 5 months complaining about hot weather, I'm going to try and even it out by talking about how lovely the weather was yesterday. Without a sweater, it was a bit chilly, but with a sweater it was very nice. The temperature did not quite reach 70F (~21C). My husband and I a few nights ago brought the ( Read more... )

I'm really tired! My sister had her baby at 5:06 pm Friday. Saturday morning my husband and I went to see her and bring stuff to her and her husband. Her husband requested that mine loan him a t-shirt, but we went to Target and found him one that said I [heart] hot moms. Ha ha! He loved it. Mom and baby are doing well. I'm so freakin' proud ( Read more... )

My nephew was born at about 5:15 this afternoon (Friday). My sister was in real labor for only 15 minutes! The doctors were giving her stuff to delay the birth, but it just didn't work. He was ready to be born! It happened so fast that they didn't even have time to give her drugs for the pain, but she said that it wasn't that bad. Baby weighs ( Read more... )

I saw Moon Boot Cat this morning! He/she is a neighborhood cat that runs about our street. I hadn't seen MBC in a while and was hoping he/she had not been squashed by one of the idiots that drive down our curvy, narrow, residential street at 45 miles an hour ( Read more... )

...Please remember my sister in your prayers today. Her husband just called to tell me that her water broke this morning and that she has gone into premature labor. She is 32 weeks along. The baby is stable right now, but we don't know exactly what is going to happen. She is at the hospital, of course, and they are putting her on drugs to try ( Read more... )

OK, I'm very aggravated by my fantasy hockey team right now. I have a rotisserie team on Yahoo and I haven't been above 8th place a single time. It's mainly the fault of Martin Brodeur and Ryan Miller. Who would have thought they would both start the season sucking so much ass? Granted, Ryan Miller wasn't exactly a superstar last year in terms ( Read more... )

I'd like to dress up for Halloween at work. 4 or 5 years ago I dressed in my usual work clothes, but put on a tiara. Nobody else ever dressed up, but I figured if it was deemed inappropriate I could just take off the tiara. Everybody thought it was cute, especially one of my bosses who just thought it was the cat's pajamas. She was inspired to ( Read more... )
