Me: Oh. My. God. Eileen just coined the term “PILF” on her blog. Where “P” stands for “Priest.”Snook: Whaaaaat?Me: Apparently the Pope’s assistant is pretty hot.Snook: What’s Eileen doing helping the Pope?!Me: She’s not on the Pope’s STAFF, you ding dong. She just saw his picture.Snook: Oh. I wondered.

I know it’s petty, but it was almost worth letting someone goad me into a stupid, frustrating non-argument today for the secret glee of standing before him in a T-shirt which read “You are Dumb” in binary. Almost. (Thanks again to Ma Snook for the awesome shirt.)

Ahhh, VICTORY!Karen and I pulled off a very satisfying 10-2 win this afternoon in the losers’ bracket of the foosball tournament. We now get to play for 5th or 6th place! Later: AND AGAIN! We won our second match! We had to play two guys that beat us 10-2 before, but this time we kicked…

Still SickMy stomach continues to defy medical analysis. My duodenitis (aka ulcer) flared up two weeks ago, but after one bad day it seemed to settle down.

“Arrested” alumni reunite for Fox pilot. I’d give any show that Mitch Hurwitz is involved with a try, but with Bateman, Arnett, and Winkler involved? I’d like to pre-order the DVD, please. (That said, the Snook and I can’t figure out what the hell the “Australian” show is that it’s supposed to be based on.…
