Because I can't stop; also more to-do list

841. President Roslin's re-election slogan is not "Let Roslin Be Roslin."
       * nor is it "We Have Nothing to Fear But Fear Itself. And Cylons."
       * nor is it "I Told You So."
       * I am not allowed to suggest any more slogans for President Roslin's Re-Election Campaign.

• move growing list of addresses and cell numbers from random sticky-notes to cell phone
  
  
• file taxes (augh)
  
  
• find magically available reserves of cash to invest in business cards and fliers for start-up private ballroom dance instruction (income needed; flexible hours a plus)

• figure out how to get them done

• sort through the rest of my papers (in boxes under my bed and shoved into book cubicles)
  
  
• take all useless documents / very old check duplicates to a shredding company
  
  
• import all the left over cds (the ones that are private recordings *not* in the CDDB, and therefore requiring that I enter all track info manually - oy) to iTunes

Yike.

831. President Laura Roslin does not, in the lobby of Colonial One, keep a big block of cheese.
* Not even algae cheese.
* Colonial One doesn't even have a lobby.
* If it did, I would be banned from it.

I actually laughed out loud at that one. Out. Loud.

That thread is really killing me. And it also makes me think of Roslin slapping Lee upside the head for calling it "Total Crackpot Day".
