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

It's probably wishful thinking to hope that I can find a good bargain on an iPod in a physical store, correct?

Yeah, Apple seems to have tight control over what stores can charge for their stuff. You might be able to find a small discount by buying from a non-Apple online store.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Just the boy-bits, right?
I was thinking more of just dipping him in latex...
Colin Farrell was adorable. I don't know how long he can work what he's working, but I'm glad he's worked out to work it.

just being able to have all my music with me (in car, plane, gym, doctor's office) and being only a skosh away from any album or song
I love my iPod for this so much. And so much more now that I accesorized and got the adapter for my car and the speaker docks for home. I suddenly have a home stereo again and I adore it. Anything I want to hear, at my fingertips. And fiddle-free.

The train accident is wigging me and I have no idea why.

I just figured out why I actually post less in Natter than I think I do:

No takers for San Diego?
I can only think of things that are shot here. Pretending to be other places.

Except that brother detective thing on yonks and decades ago. There was a boat.

Simon and Simon was in San Diego.
That's the one.
Sorry, I'm just coming up with shows that are shot in San Diego, like Veronica Mars or Point Pleasant.
Or, you know, what Alibelle said.

By the time I get here, it's been said.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Yep. Demand is way too high for any sales.

Now tagless for your comfort.

An old guy just knocked on my door. His asked about shovelling snow--most of the stuff on our sidewalk has melted away. But instead of just asking outright, he launched into a long, drawn out sob story about how the studen loans from the local community college wasn't coming through until the 3rd and he was looking for "anything just to help me out". And he didn't have a snow shovel.

I gave the last $4 in cash I had to DH this morning for work. I told him I didn't have ANY cash on me and he rolled his eyes and said, "yeah, whatever."

Dude--DO NOT come panhandling at my fucking front door and then give me attitude. Just because I live in a house does not mean I am rich or have cash to give out to strangers.

Is Apple ever known for discounts?

I don't think I've ever seen any Mac product (including computers) on sale in a non-Apple store, unless it was a discontinued product.

edit for clarity....

Up with the sun

Colin Farrell was adorable. I don't know how long he can work what he's working, but I'm glad he's worked out to work it.

Seconded. I kept squealing everytime he moved, or talked, or looked adorable, or breathed in and out. The man is hotness itself, as far as I'm concerned, even if I would want to delouse him and cover him in latex before fondling.

And I adore and worship my iPod. The only hassle factor was a weekend spent ripping CDs, but I actually enjoyed that part, because I'm a dork. Now I just leave it on shuffle and let it play all day.(Last four songs: "Orpheus beach" by the Go-Betweens, "Precious Things" by Tori Amos, "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze and "Mysterious Ways" by U2.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Dude--DO NOT come panhandling at my fucking front door and then give me attitude. Just because I live in a house does not mean I am rich or have cash to give out to strangers.

Damn, wow. "Yeah, whatever"? Be glad you get anything at all, you freak.

I'm perfectly willing to help somebody out when I can--but that kind of thing just pissed me right off and makes me far less likely to give to the next poor guy that happens along my path.

I just get fed-up with agressive panhandlers who demand that I stop and talk to them. Also don't like the panhandlers who threaten to kill me because I didn't give them money.
