This isn't my joke, got it from jscheeler7. But it lit up my day and I thought it might light up yours too.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."
"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"
His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.
Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
Some people call it a 'bucket list' and others call it a '100 things to do before I die' list. All rather morbid imho so I'm going to call mine a "Really Big To-Do List (that just happens to have exactly 100 items)." You can have a few pieces of my list because I really think you should make your own. Do eet! The force compels you.

My old age has made me quite forgetful. Today marks the 3-year anniversary of my little photoblog and I didn't even so much as post a photo of myself holding a camera. Or a cupcake. All you got instead was a photo of my boots and a couple of rocks thrown in for color for which I whole heartedly apologize. I even got some fuzzy bunny slippers today (a la Val Kilmer in 'Real Genius') and didn't even post a photo of those!!
[They're pretty awesome, btw.]
So yeah. Um ...
Happy Birthday to Sopheava de Lumiere!!
I'll see what I can do about getting you le photo specialle this weekend. That's the least I can do, no?
