What's her name?

He said 'pointless'.

Duh.

The girl in this Geico commercial in the plate at the end reminds me of Yossi for some reason.

Duh.

I feel like swimming some laps.

This is strange because I never enjoyed swimming laps. It seemed circular and pointless. Tonight it sounds like fun.

I have swum a lot of laps in my day. I used to be a distance swimmer.
I never found it fun exactly, but it can be very peaceful and relaxing.

I have the coolest friends. One called me about 1/2 a nutcracker ago to let me know that public radio was playing the complete nutcracker. I turned it on while still on the phone.
I missed watching the nutcracker competitions this year, along with the Bolshoi in Cinema Nutcracker. Being a nutcracker snob, I am not terribly thrilled with any of the local ones.
Although I am a bit curious about the company that did Romeo and Juliet last fall with the most amazing longest dancing with a dead body scene ever. They might be doing an interesting Nutcracker, but I want a nice traditional one like the Kirov or something.

I wonder what colour hair santa had before it went white.

Blonde, of course.

How Santa Got his Job.

According to this, he was a ginger.

I use to have the tradition to go see the Nutcracker by the Boston Ballet. Always got you in the spirit, plus the theater was gorgeous and sipping champagne while eating strawberries...No complaints.

I liked the Boston Ballet! Yes, I used to go see the Nutcracker every year. So much magic in that. People would dress for that, lots of velvet. The is Christmas season in Boston was pretty fun for me when I lived there. Also singing The Messiah!

The closest I have come to that feeling of the season here in recent years was a performance of The Ode to Joy at the Basilica, it was magical.

That is a world I no longer live in, I visit sometimes and it has been seamless, so I imagine I could go back to it.
It's more work at first, but once you are set up for it, it just goes.

Yeah, yeah...

But, gingers aren't suited for extreme cold.

I've been on the steps of the Bolshoi in Moscow. That's the highlight of my ballet experience. I didn't fall asleep.

You mean you didn't have 6+ yrs of ballet in a cold attic where the instructors only spoke French (or occassional Russian-mainly for swearing) when you were little?
You never have the experience of running with everyone across a floor flat footed in toe shoes and sounding like a herd of elephants?
Or taking you brand new toe shoes and semi-destroying them until they were right for you?
And most of all, did you never want to be Clara in the Nutcracker??? or at least Frederick?

I can’t force my iPhone to repeat Trump’s bizarre typo. He must have overridden the spell check. Insisting as always on his mistakes.

“If you stopped all immigration today, just by virtue of birth rates, this is going to be a browner country,” Obama told NPR’s Steve Inskeep in an interview that aired Monday.

Reminds me of comedian Flip Wilson's ugly baby routine....very funny. I just had to YouTube it now

I never found it fun exactly, but it can be very peaceful and relaxing.

In the ranking of most odious forms of exercise, swimming laps is at the very bottom. It is just flat-out boring. It is even worse than lifting weights. It is horrible.

At least with weight-lifting, there is some variety. There is only one redeeming aspect associated with swimming laps; I only do it in the summer (so it's at least warm outside).

Last year (2015) California imported 99,210 GWh (33%) of their electricity from out of state, mostly from the Southwest, up from 25% in 2010. If California seceded they would have to negotiate some fossil fuel electricity import deals real quick, or the lights would go out.

He NEEDS those alts to make his points, it's part of the #ExorbitantCost that people who disagree with him must pay.

It isn't easy bein' the #BoardSheriff (even when you are #TheSmartestGuyOnTheGeneralBoard) when Laurel won't give you moderation authority.
