Good news/bad news (a la Animaniacs, sorta)

Good news: No poo in the living room when I came home!
Bad news: Somebody ate a video tape of now unknown content... ate it with extreme prejudice.
Good news: It wasn't my Wild Wild West DVDs.

Good news: Crystal Vision is still available for purchase! Details here.

Good news: I still have Joost invitations! Lots of them!
Bad news: The Warner package of programming still isn't loaded.
Good news: It's still free, though!

Good news: I got a whole carful of aluminum cans to the recycler!
Bad news: They were fluffy, not squished, so only added up to 47 pounds... which equalled only half a tank of petrol and a breakfast greasebomb at Burger King (with some change).
Good news: But I can get to the garage door now!

Pushy opinion: Becoming a Curves franchise owner or purchasing Domino's Pizza in general indirectly contributes to contra-personal-freedom organisations, by providing towards the large salaries of major apparently-misogynist contributors. However, a Curves membership does have certain feminist virtue, depending on the franchisee. Yup, it's a dilemma. Yes, G, it's their money and they can do what they want with it. However, they don't have to get any of it from me.

Good news: I got my first Princess Tutu DVD from Netflix so I can participate at tendom!
Bad news: My CD/DVD drive has decided it's tired of video and only wants to be a CD drive.
OK news: Thanks to subtitles, I can watch it at work if it's not busy/after I log off
Not-so-OK news: This involves staying at work.

Bad news: There were dog fights.
Good news: Nobody requires stitches or even attempts at bandaging. Hopefully it'll stay that way [slaps on more antibiotic salve].
Straight fact: Testosterone is toxic.

Good news: My Golden Compass dæmon seems to have settled into a full-on wolf, after seeming a mouse, grey fox, lion and a brief stint as a raven.

Good news: Free food at work! We were given a picnic by upper management.
Bad news: But I haven't fed the dogs yet.
Good news: However, they're not complaining yet and I have... 90 75 minutes. Sorta. And to get dressed.

Bad news: My left knee's still acting funny.
OK news: It's pretty much only when it gets near being locked straight, so as long as I try to keep it at least a little flexed, it doesn't make me yelp.
