I just turned on PBS and there's a really surreal show about crafts with children. First, they were sticking gumdrops onto styrofoam balls with toothpicks. They didn't say why. Then they were making pomanders and one of them said, "They're preserved just like the Egyptians preserved mummies." The hosts are cheerful in a way that I usually associate with amphetamines.
River: They weren't cows inside. They were waiting to be, but they forgot. Now they see the sky and they remember what they are. Mal: Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?
'Safe'
Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Not sure if this is serious:
Is it appropriate for a Christian to own a cat, in light of their past pagan religious affiliation and the medical information that is now coming to light? -J.R., U.S.A.
Medical information?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Bible does not say that cats were not present at Herod's birthday party when John the Baptist was beheaded. History shows that cats were most likely present at this tragic party that Jehovah did not approve of.
WTF²?!?
eta: it's gotta be a joke.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It looks like it might be serious. However, it seems like an extreme sect of Jehovah's Witnesses. The Watchtower doesn't appear to have anything against cats in general. And seems to tell followers to take their responsibility as pet owners pretty seriously.
And I have two words for the chapter & verse spouting idiot who wrote that: Black Death. Kill the cats and you get what you ask for, Buddy.

These were mostly taken this morning, when we were only half done, but the two of the finished living room make me so so happy. There used to be a lovely rich brown in the living room, and a gorgeous brick red in the kitchen, and kind of a weird greenish khaki serving as the trim in both rooms. So what we did was cover the khaki with red in the living room and brown in the kitchen, getting rid of the ugly color and tying the apartment together in one fell swoop!

Jess, those colors are AMAZING!! Excellent work. I hate painting. Not as much as DH, which is why part of my front hall is STILL half-painted a few months after we started.

It looks great, Jess. You've got a lot of nice architectural detail.
I hate painting. My hall and one bedroom need painting, and I've been waiting for the paint fairy for some years now. I painted the den, with all the bookshelves, three years ago and I'm still resting.

Heh. I tell everyone I'm waiting for my muse.

I can't stand white walls and I've been living with them for four years in our current place. We had a good headstart with this place, since most of the kitchen and living room had been painted already, and the other two rooms are pretty small (and don't have any complicated corners -- all of the nifty little architectural touches are in the kitchen and living room).
It's sooooooo pretty.
