Eight Belles
This is hilarious! Basically it says that:
"Hillary Clinton's pick to win horse racing's Kentucky Derby, Eight Belles — the only female horse in the race — finished second, broke both front ankles, and subsequently was put to death on the track. The first place horse was "Big Brown." Go nuts."
Abso-fucking-lutely hilarious.
In other news, I havent commented on the latest crap going on in either the a) world, b) workplace, or c) my life. Well, apparently the Prince William Board of Supervisors finally realized that what they are doing is ridiculously expensive and probably illegal, and decided that they ought to stop now before someone gets sued.
I had my stupid little saline sonogram thing, and came out with a perfectly pretty little uterus. Thanks doc! However... and this is a matter of contention with me, I've never had a male doctor looking up my hoo-haw before. Ever. Add to that the fact that I was being filled to the brim with salt water and leeking it all over a table in a dark creepy room and you have the makings of a horrible traumatic memory that I dont want to ever remember. Dont get me wrong, the dude was nice... but seriously? I just really wasnt in the mood.
I entered into a photography contest today. Gonna see if I can win 2 row 10 tix for Dave plus a press pass to take as many pics as I want to during the first 3 songs in the pit. As well as a free Nikon and free Nikon Photography School classes. Which would rock. I will, of course, be adding the picture that I submitted for the contest onto here when I get back home. Nice pic... I was originally torn between the picture of the field of flowers... which you can see above, and the one that I did end up picking. In the end I realized that while this picture is pretty, the other one tells a story, and thats really what should be added. So, I dont think I could win the bigger prizes, I just want to be one of the five. I'll let you folks know about the results of that when it comes in.
As far as the workplace goes... well. I hate my job. Its gone from pleasantly ridiculous, to insanely cathartic. Apparently someone we workwith has been telling people that I am just the most evil thing ever. Nice. Especially since I 1) dont talk to anyone and 2) have never had more than 2 words with the woman who is spreading this stuff. In any case... I'm just trying to get my clearance and get on outta here. I miss having a job that I care about, or that is actually rewarding. What I do now a trained monkey could do. And yes, one could argue that what I did before a trained monkey could do... but at least I was able to have the autonomy that monkeys deserve.
Anyways.. lets look at the news, shall we?
Really? Its a Hilton... thats pretty damned upscale if you ask me.
I can tell you exactly why Dulles Rail is back... someone on the supervisory committe just got their teenager into UVA. Thanks Kaine, way to lower the bar.
And finally this. Really!? I hate DC.
