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

I just point the wank. I don't wank the wank.

Words to live by....

I can't even.

I think it is lazy for the New York Times. Yeah, they have Willow, and two women kissing, and they haven't directly misidentified the second smoocher as Tara, but they should have tried harder to get a Willow/Tara photo.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Weird cat story (sorry Hec). I'm eating a banana power muffin from TJs- added protein, less sugar, and still almost yummy. Perkins the cat decided he wanted to taste it badly enough that he climbed up on the table to get at it. This is something he hasn't done since he was a kitten and got past the learning curve.

Makes me wonder if the added protein is fish based or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Eww. Lee has a fish muffin.

What I want to know is, isn't the audience of The O.C. predominantly female? (That's my impression anyway.) 'Cause Marissa and Alex kissing isn't exactly going to be titillating most of such a demographic.

DH and I think Camilla should be the Great Stewardess of Scotland.

But do you tank the tank?

No, that doesn't quite work, does it...

If I only had a brain...

I read a great essay years back pointing out that the Charles/Camilla story is actually much more romantic than the fabled Charles/Diana story.

Guy meets woman, likes her, dithers for too long and she marries somebody else. They remain close friends. Guy finally marries young, beautiful woman; his closest friend remains a middle-aged, frankly homely woman. When the first marriage ends, he and his longtime companion are reunited.

If you made Charles into an executive and Diana into a trophy wife, it'd be a paperback novel.
