This is the saddest day of the year for me. I'm dreading how early it will get dark this afternoon.

I'm sorry, Issy. I hope something cheers you today.

When you eat Chinese, even if it is non-fried shrimp, vegetables, and plain rice, it'll mess with your WW weigh-in if you're a water sponge like myself.

Amen! My internal clock is telling me I should be up and in the pool. And the (old-fashioned) clock in the pool room agrees. But it's officially still too early. And then I'll have to go change the microwave, the stove, and the coffeemaker.

I'm in AZ. We don't observe DST, so from the perspective of the rest of the world (that observes DST), we "switch" twice a year, when in fact, of course, we don't.

The nice thing for me is, I run a class every morning that has started at 6:30 a.m., my time, for the last half-year. NOW it will start at 7:30, which means I get an additional hour's sleep. (The time is dependent on something else, that's on the E. Coast.) Woo!

Simple fix - don't watch TV.

A last minute TV ad blitz has become a necessity for an elected official. Fail to do it and you lose.

And the sheer costs of a TV campaign leave politicians spending most time fundraising, and generate the complaints about where the funds come from.

I've thought on occasion of what might occur if campaign laws were changed to forbid TV advertising to get votes, and force politicians to find other ways to reach voters.

It won't happen, but it's fun to contemplate.

I need a new (alarm) clock for on my bedside table. The one I have has started making a rattling noise, which is annoying. My mother has a Braun alarm clock for decades and it's still working fine. I found one I liked, an analogue one that's radio controlled. I wanted to know more about it and go to the Braun website, click until I get to the alarm clocks, find the clock, click it and I get an overlay on the page that it's a members only area and if I want to view the specs of the alarm clock I need to sign up for the newsletter and promotion mails.

That's ridiculous, very customer unfriendly. I'm going to seriously think about if I still want this clock and I'm going to mail Braun about it, too.

Arrgh. There was a production of The Winter's Tale with Judi Dench as Paulina and Kenneth Branagh and Leontes and it's not available streaming or DVD for love or money.

I wish I knew how to budget well. Sometimes I'm off by a hundred dollars... a few hundred dollars. Gotta start using a calculator.

Stupid Walmart.

I order online on Thursday Nov 1 with store pickup supposedly Tuesday Nov 6 after 6pm. Computer Chat with them this (Tuesday) morning asking why no status updates, and they say the order "must have gotten stuck", and to cancel and reorder, so now it is supposed to come on Friday. I ask them when I should check again to make sure the order is processing, and they told me to call the store.

They did give me 10% off.

And if I order with 2 day shipping this morning, why is it supposed to arrive on Friday; With 2 day shipping from Amazon I would get it on Thursday.
