Inside, I weigh about 320.

All this for a paltry $2.53? Thank you, company cafeteria!

Duty now, duty for the future.

Though I may look as if I'm gazing into the future in a manner most Presidential, I think I was looking at a shiny airplane on approach to RDU.

Persuant to the traffic post --

Things apparently are no better when one elects to take surface roads instead, as the surface roads appear to be designed by a criminally insane four-year-old. I left the office at 6 pm, and I took this shot when I pulled up outside my house. You who this round, Raleigh/Durham/Cary/Morrisville. Well played.

You think your town has traffic?

Trust me, kids. You have no idea what traffic is. Raleigh has the worst gridlock I've ever seen. And I've been to New Jersey. This shot was taken on my hourlong, 16-mile drive home yesterday.

Hello. I am the Devil.

PSA: This crap is horrible. An hour and a half after sweetening my coffee with this, I still could taste its awful aftereffects. It tasted of death and pure evil. Do yourself a favor and avoid it at all costs.

What is up, Chad?

The coffee robot, who I have named Chad. Yeah, I name machines. My insanity is a few ticks above "cute" or "charming."

The spiral calls you.

I see this every day when I walk into work, and I never get tired of it.

The Oscars. Why even bother?

Last night, Lisa and I considered watching the Oscars. . . for about three seconds. We realized that we'd only seen one of the movies up for awards this year (guess which one?) and really didn't care too much about the rest. Question, though -- when are they going to quit shoving action and sci-fi (no matter how well-made) down into the technical categories? Matt Damon deserved best actor. And that's not just my man-crush talking. (Ok, maybe a little.)

Estrogen levels are through the roof.

Yep, I'm severely outnumbered in my house. The only males are myself and whichever multiple personalities I may construct that day.

They only look innocent.

Together, though, they combine to form a Voltron of Destruction.

More dogs.

Yeah, our lives kind of revolve around them.

Hi. I'm Edie.

I am not Chaos. Give me your food.

Why did I take a picture of my shoe?

Perhaps because it's Friday, I'm at work, and I'm starting to get the weekend crazies. And perhaps because I'm a bit bored.

Sadie.

She's better than you. And she knows it.

Edie.

Don't let the cuteness fool you. She is chaos incarnate.

Do you have the coveted Babylon 5 mug?

Well, do you? I thought not. I shall now revel in my superiority.

Work. It does not suck.

Here's where you'll find me 40 hours a week. I dig it.
