**an aside: i had half my entry already written, and through some kind of weird malfunction/clumsy finger incident, i lost it. this entry, of course, will not be nearly as good.**

that has the dubious honor of being my longest title ever. it can, i suppose, also function as the warning label for this entry. because i'm Tired. and yes, that's tired-with-a-capital-T Tired. because i worked a lot today. because what else can you do when the Boss Lady asks you, in her croakiest voice, "i really don't feel good, can you stay a little late tonight?" hint: you say no problem. i may not like her, but i have no intentions of pissing her off, either.

today i drove to work and watched the sun rise. and i drove home watching it set. i can draw two conclusions from this: 1. i'm lucky i get to drive facing the sun, and 2. i was at work entirely too long today. counting the commute, 11 hours. without the commute, 10. and only one of those hours was a break. and yeah, when you're working with kids, ten hours feels a lot longer than it sounds. i'm not even sure i'll be able to stay awake long enough to drool over lex luther on smallville tonight.

and speaking of tv, mtv is getting rid of daria; this makes me sad. and not just because daria is the only intelligent program on mtv. (does anyone else miss the mid-90s mtv that at least pretended to be intelligent programming? i miss kurt loder and tabitha soren and their "in-depth" reports on things like hackers and gangsta rap. at least they weren't carson daly.) but also because i spent a lot of time in high school being daria, with a little jane lane thrown in. so by the time i got to college and was ready to laugh about it, daria stepped in to help me out. so yeah. i hope it at least plays in reruns for a long long time.

oh hell. rush limbaugh was losing his hearing, so he got a cochlear implant, and now he's just fine and able to continue his career as the biggest bigot and ugliest man on the radio. and i know that i should be grateful that we have all this wonderful technology, and in many ways i am. however, if rush couldn't hear, he wouldn't be able to spout off quite so easily. and that would make me very, very happy. because he's a big fat idiot.

ok this is all fluff. and i have no problem with that right now, because i'm too tired to think very deeply right now. at least, too tired to write deeply about anything.

ok, i'll give you a good quote, just to up the smart factor here:
"The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice."

Mark Twain
