As you may or may not know, there's a new member of my family, thanks to Burney. She called me at 8am on Sunday from Target, where she was buying GH3. Apparently, they had also gotten a large shipment of Wiis. Twenty-six Wiis, anyway. So I got her to grab me one and now my family is complete.
J.K. Rowling: Dumbledore Is Gay SATURDAY OCTOBER 20, 2007 09:15 AM EDT
It was a little late for National Coming Out Day, but a huge revelation nonetheless: Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling revealed Friday night that one of her main characters, Hogwarts Headmaster Albus Dumbledore, is gay.
The Associated Press reports that during a Q&A session with audience members, a young fan asked if Dumbledore finds true love.
"Dumbledore is gay," the author, 42, responded, prompting gasps and applause.
Rowling said Dumbledore was infatuated with rival Gellert Grindelwald, who was later offed in a battle between the good and bad wizards.
"Falling in love can blind us to an extent," Rowling said of Dumbledore's feelings, adding that Dumbledore was "horribly, terribly let down" and that his love was a "great tragedy."

Yesterday was National Boss Day. On Friday I heard rumor that we were going to have a pizza party today to celebrate. On Monday we spoke about it again, and Sara even came upstairs and mentioned it. It was going to be a joint party for the day and a welcome lunch for Damaris and Emily, our two new employees.
I was sitting here earlier with Emily, Damaris, and Jon. Jon says he is going to Burger Hut for lunch and that any of us can come if we want. I asked about the pizza party. He said that yesterday Sara decided not to have it. Then Jon asked if we wanted to order pizza for lunch. All three of us had packed a lunch. I think Emily and Damaris forgot. I packed a lunch this morning cause I forgot while half asleep. Then I remembered but brought the packed lunch anyway and thought I could leave it in the fridge.
Why must they tease me with a mention of a pizza party and then not have it? The only thing I can think of is we aren't having it cause Blair is in Greensboro and Tisha doesn't come in until 3:30 today. We could have it on Friday and that would be a day where everyone is here 9-5. Maybe that's it.
I suppose it's only happy for Amanda, who I presume gets the day off from work. Apparently we don't observe the holiday here at the Literacy Council. I do however get Monday, November 12 off for Veteran's Day. Better than nothing.

It smells like onions at my work. My office is right next to the kitchen and someone threw out some old onions in the trash can and left it overnight. We took the bag out this morning but I think it's gonna smell bad all day.
I wrote this poem and sent it to Blair:
Onions onions They sure smell bad Onions onions They make me sad Onions onions You know what would be rad? If it didn't smell like Onions onions in our pad
