MT @AlexPappas: Milton Wolf should begin his election night speech with: "Excuse me, I believe you have my stapler." http://t.co/tkG0Sfp6wc

Wolf lost to Pat Roberts. And Alex Pappas, still wrong about everything.

@Mike E:
This morning I found Craig Ferguson’s YouTube channel, which appears to have the show posted quite soon after it airs, with the commercials stripped out.

My roommate has a girlfriend. Good for him. This means I have had a visitor in the apartment nearly every night for the past 3 months, except for when he spent a month abroad. Every night and all weekend. I would like a break from said girlfriend & don’t even have to talk to her regularly. Isn’t there some level of etiquette kids have about this stuff or do they all this think that constant sleepovers are ok. I say kid, but he’s nearly 30. I’d expect more common sense, much to my usual dismay.

It’s almost 1:00 a.m., big guy. Drink a glass of warm milk and go to bed.

Ladies and germs, please to have your cigarettes ready. Jim Wright the Awesome is back.

@Mnemosyne: maybe a nice glass of valerian chai.

@Yatsuno: his summations just make you want to print them out and put them on car windshields at the mall…..

@Yatsuno: And he knocks that one out of the stadium, and the ball is going to need a visa because it’s going to land in South America.
Nicole
@ruemara: He never goes to her place? Yeesh, that’s rough. I had a roommate who gave keys to our apartment to her boyfriend a week after they started dating, and he would let himself all the time, whether she was there or not. I think we were all about 24. She eventually moved out and they got married, but our friendship never recovered.

@ruemara: I hope you feel like you could talk to your roommate about it. If she has a place of her own, they could spend some time over there. That’s not an unreasonable request. If you don’t talk to him/them about it, it’ll just keep happening. It did for a couple of my roommates. Not a good situation.
Also, depending on your lease, the landlord could get involved if s/he notices a guest staying for too long. In Texas you have seven days before you legally have to inform the landlord if someone is staying as a guest for longer than that.
I have a story similar to Nicole’s too. Hopefully your situation hasn’t progressed to that point. Hard to bring up except bluntly, though. Good luck.

In similar situations, we used to call that a FedEx girlfriend.
“When she absolutely, positively has to be there overnight.”
ruemara
@NotMax: that is definitely her. A little too full of her own quality, too.
I’d be a lot cooler with things if she, a. Picked up after herself &/or taught him to pick up after himself; b. Was not a loud talker; c. Was not prone to having long discussions sometime just about when I’m finally falling asleep; d. Understood the joy of politely demurring on sleeping over, since she’s been here since Friday. And we have 1 bathroom, which only I clean. It’s like I wound up running a hotel with only a honeymoon suite. Yuck. Pass.

This is seriously fun — recovering sound from video images of things, potted plants, potato chip bags . . . Half the brain is thinking OK, shouldn’t be surprised, Alexander Graham Bell, aren’t there paper bits in speakers? and the rest of the brain is going No. Way.

So, some interesting weather headed this way.
Weakening Hurricane Iselle on Thursday through early Saturday, followed by Julio later Saturday through Monday.
Tracking map for Iselle.
Tracking map for Julio.
Flash flood watches already announced for the entire time. Currently, winds from ~40 to 75 mph expected.
Got enough supplies in the house, so won’t have to brave the milling throngs at the stores on Wednesday.
Saturday is also primary election day.
