You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

And the food coma is arriving right on schedule.

Now I really want Chinese.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This is so cool! [link]

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hello, Dali!
Well hello, Dali!
It's so nice to have you back...

Remember that submarine that ran into that underwater mountain? It's in a drydock now: [link]

Damn, I'm amazed that something could take that much dammage while underwater and still not sink. Apparantly the inner pressure hull survived intact, while the outer hull got trashed to hell....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Taxes (state and federal): DONE. Am getting big refund! For, I think, the first time ever. It's the one good thing about only working full time half the year -- my withholding was based on the full annual amount, which I didn't earn.
