I named a dog for my college newspaper, the Vanderbilt Hustler. The Hustler started as a sports publication back in the 1880s, when hustling was still a good thing.

Maybe it's just me, but it's weird seeing color photos of WWI. The color makes it seem more real....

Not just you. It's freaky.

OK, if I can pick any pet name and any address:

Rodent University
Spock-Cat Jennifer
Tigress Church
Sammy 23rd
Foolish-Big-Eyed-Orange-Cat Hermitage

I blame the oddness of the cat names on the them being barn cats.

Not just you. It's freaky.

You sorta have to feel for the guy who is immortalized forever in what's probably the first ever color photo of a guy taking a whiz.

Not just you. It's freaky.

Were they retouched at all, I wonder? The colour is beautiful.

For NYPD Blue fans here--since tonight is the last episode. Here's Mark-Paul Gosselaar on Dennis Franz: And then, to work with Dennis every day. Here's a guy who, for 12 years, showed up to the set every day prepared, professional... one of the nicest guys to the crew, cast, anybody who walked onto the set. One ritual he did — that I thought was one of the classiest things anybody has ever done — is each morning, from Day 1, he would greet me, shake my hand and say, "Good morning, partner." Those are the things I'm gonna miss.

My pr0n name is pretty good: Ruff Longstone.

Okay, so it's like a Flintstones porn name, but still.

We gots of the snow. Various and sundry people from work didn't make it in. I took Nyquil last night to sleep and I'm feeling a bit time-distorted this morning, not helped by the fact that my alarm clock managed to get shifted by an hour somehow. My cold and sore throat continues and I am a producer of the green mucus.

I missed breakfast in my alarm clock/nyquil-induced scramble this morning, so I have hunger, and caffeine deprivation. I've had this cold and sore throat awhile. The run of antibiotics killed the first sinus infection, but the throat thing persisted, so I think the sinus fun may have returned too, not sure. I'm feeling a bit detached and spaced out, but I'm not sure if that's the cold or the cocktail of OTC stuff I'm taking to cope with the crud and still get into work. I should probably eat and caffeinate, that will make me a bit more useful here.

I'd like this cold, etc. to go away. I need to be active this weekend, going off to an SCA event with friends. Blergh.

Were they retouched at all, I wonder? The colour is beautiful.

Dunno, but some almost look colorized.

If I can use any pet and any street I've lived on, the best is probably Pixie Magnolia.

Oh, look. We can complain about the rain even after it's stopped.
