Someone told me tonight at the company Christmas party (yes, I know it's not even close to Christmas anymore, and they technically called it a holiday party, but it was the Christmas party all the same) that I look like Nicole Kidman.

I am the queen of parenthetical comments. I usually edit them out altogether, or at least move them to another location, but sometime I'd like to write something that leaves all the stream of consciousness parenthetical ideas in place. I think it would work beautifully in hypertext, linking all the pieces of thoughts together so that they can be followed forward and backwards.


From my lovely and beloved Jen:
The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals. That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals. It's just that they need more supervision.--Lynn Lavner - as published in PFLAG

When I got out to the parking lot two-three hours ago to go car-shopping, there was a note on the windshield: "Just a compliment...You are gorgeous." That made my day! I wish I knew who put it there, but it's almost more fun not knowing.
The fact that I got stopped for running a stop sign on my way home doesn't even cut into my cheerful mood, the more so because Mr. Policeman just looked at my license and said "I'm not going to give you a ticket, but I want you to turn around and go back and look at the intersection." So I did exactly that, he followed me to make sure, and off I drove home, in a different direction.
As for the car shopping, I test drove a Subaru Outback Sport and two different Saturn L-series, one with automatic and one with manual transmission. The automatic felt sluggish to me, but the manual was much more responsive. After six years driving a manual transmission car, I just don't like the way automatic feels. But manuals are getting harder and harder to find.
