Trying to obtain normality

…whatever that may be.. distractions distractions distractions…

I was reviewing my site statistics today and I saw a couple interesting visitors whose ISP‘s were “Information Systems – U.S. House of Representatives” and “U.S. Senate Sergeant At Arms”… I gotta say that’s even more intriguing than when the U.S. House phone number was on my missed call list.

According to the stats, it looks like someone’s Googling the phone number (202-226-9928) and my blog entry is coming up. Sorry, this is too ironic to resist. Let’s try some reverse Google spying and see if they like it as much as we do:

…sidenote: if this remains the newest post for more than two weeks, someone please call Guantanamo and make sure I’m not there. I don’t have a phone # to give you, but I know the country code is 5399, that’ll get you started.

Speaking of Guantanamo, tomorrow is the highly anticipated State of the Onion address. If you don’t want to sit on the couch yelling and throwing things at the TV like usual, you can partake in these events happening around Columbus:

These events are intended for those living in an ideal world where you can just call off for a day with no financial or professional repercussions. How nice if we could just say “yeah, I can’t come in tomorrow, it’s for political reasons.” For the rest of us, here’s what happening in the evening:
