I’m here. Just heading home from work. Friday evening!

@asiangrrlMN: Oh, I still love him. Of course, each of my cats is asleep in his/her own box in my living room as I type, so maybe it’s just more than usually topical!
Oh, and I’m here–BUT NO 3 AM FOR ME! [“The gentlewoman from MN is correct is rustifying her pitchfork!” Etc.]
@Something Fabulous: I have a cat who loves boxes as well. I don’t get it. This should hit my sweet spot, and yet, it does not. Alas. And, I will be keeping an eye on the clock and sharpening my rusty pitchfork accordingly. Less than two hours remaining for you!

Oh well, it’s late. Once in a blue moon I rattle on.
Want to know why Dr. Laura and Sarah Palin don’t understand the “N-word”? They have no skin in the game.
If I happened to be driving my little niece to soccer practice and that crap came on the radio, I would not be simply appalled, I would be murderously angry.
You want to hurt my little niece?
She makes straight A’s in school and she loves her old Uncle asdf. Are you kidding me? You do not talk like that in front of her, ever, Dr. Laura and that goes for you too Sarah Palin.
These kids are my blood. They send me birthday cards.
You two ladies, you’ve made a mistake.

@asiangrrlMN: Sadly, I am up at 4:15 am. Catching up on my Daily Show and Colbert I napped through earlier tonight.
@MattR: My sympathies, man. I know the napping/can’t sleep syndrome all too well.
@asdf: But but but some of their best friends are black! Also, too. You are right, though. In all likelihood, they don’t know anyone black, or if they do, the relationship is pretty tangential. Plus, in the case of Palin, everything is just an opportunity to whore for the media–no one is a real person to her.

@asiangrrlMN: I am fortunate that I have a work at home computer programming job so I can actually get work done at these weird hours (though I do prefer to work a normal workday)
@asdf: Yeah, pretty much the last defense of someone of her ilk is “I have black/gay/Muslim friends!” as an excuse for whatever she said. And, the story is always edifying to the teller. I would dearly love to hear what her gay and black friends say about her in their own words and not through the filter of her filthy mouth.
@MattR: Yeah. It would be so difficult if you actually had to be up and at an office place in an hour or two.

Wow! I just fell into the weirdest wormhole! I went over to take a look at Tbogg, and he is talking about Ace O’ Spades (whom I have never read) and embeds a link, so I clicked to find out more… to what turns out to be a Sadly No thread from 2007! And Anne Laurie is there commenting! It’s one of those weird/funny/self-referential threads that seems to keep going forever. I’ll be back…
@stuckinred: Ohhhhh, the Gentledog from Georgia is just gorgeous. Lil Bit brings a big smile to my face. She looks like a very loving dog. And, may I say that Bohdi is very dapper and dashing himself? They look like a joy to be around.
For some bizarre reason I’m up, but I shan’t be for long. Especially since I’m driving to that horrible cesspool that is Seattle tomorrow. I expect it to be completely flooded out and miserable weather.
@stuckinred: No, I’m not going to bed yet, HE is. I just threatened him with pitchforky harm if he didn’t go to bed by his self-appointed curfew of 3 a.m. PsomethingT. I’m blogging at the moment. I expect to be up for at least another half hour.

@asdf: What I also don’t get is how Sarah thinks that the context of the conversation doesn’t help at all.
Oh, but it’s that media matters…the meddling teenagers…curses. Everyone’s soooo testy…
While watching I was thinking “Boy, cats sure are dumb”, but then I realized that my border collies do pretty much the exact same thing.

I love this! Hilarious and relatable. My kitty has her own special box (actually a box within a box) that she loves oh so much. Sometimes she will get in it and spaz just like Simon Cat. There are also times when I must pet her while she is in special box and she let’s me know when those times are.

Heh. Doesn’t have to be a cat to have an animal that would do the exact same thing. My John’s Otis has the same sort of relationship with boxes and newspapers.
Just gotta talk about the concert I went to last night. Paul McCartney has played two nights as the inaugural act at the new Consol Arena and I got to go last night.
Now I’m more of a Stones girl, but damn. The guy is 68 and he just shredded the place. No giant stage show, just a legend and his band, playing everything and sounding like he hasn’t aged a bit (though his face has the softness of his age).
And can I also give a holla to the absolute beauty and awesomeness of the Penguins new home? Holy shit, that place is nice. And shockingly, the traffic in uptown for a concert of that size was completely manageable. Kudos to all.

I loved the first one of this series, but my enthusiasm diminished with each vid. I dunno why.
Roll call–who’s up?

One of the things I like about this place is that you stay open late.

@asiangrrlMN: Still up huh?

@stuckinred: Am, indeed. Took a nap earlier. You just got up?
stuckinred
@asiangrrlMN: Yup, me an Lil Bit hangin.
Something Fabulous
@asiangrrlMN: Yes, twice in one day is what finally got me curious. (Unless the gentlewoman is calling the Fabulous from CA an asshat!?)
asiangrrlMN
@stuckinred: PIC! Sorry. Reflexive response. What’s the weather like where you are? (I’m assuming East Coast).
@Something Fabulous: The gentlewoman from MN is NOT calling the gentlefabulous from CA an asshat. She will NOT concede that point!

@asiangrrlMN: Athens, GA. 79 degrees at 5am! How bout a movie? The youtube nazi’s disabled Los Lobos doing Little Darlin but you can get the idea.

@stuckinred: Hippie! Hee. Great video of your rides. If that’s you in the beginning, you look like I picture you (adjusted for age).

@asiangrrlMN: That’ll do…and I’m spent. Night y’all.

@Yutsano: Night! Try to be brave in the terrible city tomorrow/today.
@stuckinred: Yeah. That fits the image I have of you. I am not going to bed yet.
@abrxas: Welcome to the late-night/early-morning thread. Hope you enjoy your stay!
Goddamn but I feel like the doyenne of the late shift.

Good night from me too!
