You and me both.

Oh, and there is a screaming baby near my office. Lovely.

Then I should consider myself lucky and get back to work...

I tired the new "inspired" Dominos pizza today.

It would appear that they are using an alternative definition for the word "inspired" that is synonymous with "excrement".

The only difference I noticed was some extra red pepper. Other than that, same old same old.

Sooooo..... I realized last night that I've come to regard "Countdown" as what I have to wait through before Rachel Maddow comes on. I'm sure that's not what Keith had in mind when he brought her in.

Same here (though I was never too big of a KO watcher, he was a self-caricature before he even got this show). Though generally I'm only really interested in her first 20 minutes. Once she gets into the more set pieces I start to lose interest. But she starts with a good head of steam.

TiVo faithfully records Rachel for me every night and I don't have to deal with Keith. Love my TiVo.

So this afternoon I tried out Costco's photo upload site; they'll print the pics and I can pick them up in an hour. Uploading is more convenient than loading them onto a flash drive, I think. Their site is actually pretty slick- it tells you when the picture is a different shape than the print you're requesting and gives you the ability to crop it to the proper size/shape. I need to set up a portfolio, so this is good. I'm not good at getting my pictures printed and this will give me a good range of shots to choose from.

What's a good portfolio material? Should I use official-looking scrapbook paper? Or is there a ready-made thing I can use? Anybody done this?

Just watched Hercules again and I love it still. Hercules and Mulan are two of my Disney favorites.

What kind of portfolio photos are they? What sort of book are you putting them in?
