Should I create a new category for Paranoia?

So people, my brain is practically bursting with Nerdness this morning. I just sent an email to a coworker outlining possible nerdy solutions for a nerdy problem including the words "pro" and "con" and with BULLET POINTS. In an EMAIL. I probably don't need to add that he has not responded.

And because I am bursting with Nerdness, I am considering sending another email, this time about a web design class that I think I should get to attend and that I think my boss should pay for. What do you think? And Firefox users, you just hush about that annoying pink line I have not yet fixed.  But before I send this email I need to think about how to sell him on a $375 tuition fee. "Please send me to this class so I can build our company a lovely new blog in Movable Type" is probably not going to work because he'll be all "Movable Wha?"  But seriously. I'm not going to be able to stand doing this for much longer.

The real nerdness in my life has been emanating around the clock from Phillip, who has been working since about six a.m. last Monday. He took a breather last night for dinner, but that's about all I've seen of him.

So last night I entertained myself by making Russian tea cakes (my grandmother's recipe calls them 'Melting Moments') and watching the 1992 episode of Reunion. (Which is cancelled. I hate it when they cancel shows before you know who killed who.) I thought about starting a cherry pound cake, but by then it was 9:45, a little late to be starting a brand new culinary experiment.

Instead I commenced the What Are We Going To Eat At The Christmas Party Freak Out. Which morphed into the No One Is Going To Show Up Freak Out and then the How Hard Is It To RSVP Freak Out.

Today I have skipped past the whole eating thing and gone straight to the drinking. Have any holiday cocktails to recommend?
