So at about 5 minutes before publish time, I peeked into the Top Comments diary queue to see who's diary I'd be reading tonite. Imagine my face when I saw... nothing. And a blank spot where tonight's diarist should be on the calendar. So I bring you something red besides my face, if you'll follow me below the dingledoodle squigglie dKosagnocchi dividerthingie fold after a word from our sponsor...

Here's how I spent my evening...
Before:
and after...
That's K1 and her new hair color. She kept it purple for Netroots Nation because she didn't want to wear red hair there! Good kid, I tell ya!
It appears that everyone took a holiday today, because there was not a single nomination in either the gmail box or the dkos mailbox. I was offline all day, so didn't have a chance to read the site at all. Ergo... if you saw something today and forgot to send it in, NOW's your time to add it in the comments!
