It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty

(in my dream, it even had the little advertising poster and everything, I am clearly very ad susceptible)

Either that, or they've started beaming advertizing into your sleeping brain, a la Futurama.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Argh!

This is not something you should say to a person who is already significantly paranoid. I better go check for transmitters.

Dammit! I knew there was a reason why they tried to make me leave my retainers in. Bastards!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have had three dreams lin the last couple of weeks about dogs with normal size bodies and tiny little heads. This always distresses me in my dream, although the freaky tiny!heads all seem perfectly happy animals. This is all since we got a dog, so I am sure it's all connected.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wait, wait. Who was it who brought up the beverage here in the first place? I suspect their motives! They are a Starbucks plant amongst us! B.org has been infiltrated! Run for your consumer and financial lives!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. That's funny, Robin. Our dog and my brother-in-law's family's dog have roughly the same size body and build, but theirs (a border collie) has a smaller head than ours (an Aussie shepherd mix). They think that his head is too big, and I think that theirs' head is too small. Maybe your dog-head size expectations are awry.

I would say this is an urban legend, but I thought the whole "UMASS built a library without accounting for the weight of the books" thing was a myth.

I heard this about the University of Waterloo.

It won't help him as much in TAR, I think.

It didn't really bother me, because I'm sorry, what were they upset about? That he messed with their little "we'll all buy tickets in order" plan? That he was one of the only teams to think to look for a better option when they got to the bus station? That he didn't then shout it to the hilltops so they can continue with this all-together-now thing some of the teams have going? Whatev.

Plus, as a race strategy it could have come back to bite him in the ass - say the shopping thing had been a roadblock instead of a detour, or the book thing had been replace with something a lot less attractive. It's a gamble using your funds that way, so it seems less unfair to me to do things like that.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

TAR: I'm thinking that the express bus they all ended up on most likely cost more than the other one, so that's were a lot of the $400+ ended up.

I will say that our dog has a big ole head, so maybe that's got something to do with it.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I heard this about the University of Waterloo.

How 'bout the, "this dorm was designed by a guy who used to design prisons" and "this dorm was designed after the '60s to make it harder for students to occupy/protest."

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
