It's some of the most human I've read Charles to be, despite some awkward phrasing.
Compared to tampon-gate he's Noel Coward.

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

What is even happening?
"Begging the question" (BTQ) is a form of logical fallacy in which an argument is assumed to be true without evidence other than the argument itself. (e.g. "He's dumb because he's stupid and it's so because I said so.")
I think that piece is wrong. I know the above is true, but then you use the BTQ phrase to point out what is still unexplained. Take the example from that web page: "He's dumb because he's stupid and it's so because I said so."
It's appropriate to say to that, "Dumb can be taken as synonymous with stupid. Your statement begs the question, why do you believe he is stupid?" You can say "that begs the question" because the person didn't offer proof in his argument and you are trying to get to the point of the issue.
So says I.
Pbbbblt.

So, you're begging the question.

And pleading.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
You guys inspired me to go in search of Maxwell's Silver Hammer on iTunes since I only have it on cassette. iTunes doesn't have that, but I did find an Ella Fitzgerald cover of Hey Jude which kinda rocks.

Oh, hey, aurelia! I'm getting your tape for you made tonight and sent out in the morning (sorry about the delay--I've been working until 11:00 pm the last few nights!). Do you want me to rip you a copy of my Abbey Road CD and toss that in, too?

I would not say no to an Abbey Road CD.
Again I say, Kathy Astrom is the coolest.
I hope work lets up for you.

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

That's going to hurt!

I stay late during this week, that means I don't have to come in on the weekend.
A good thing.
According to UPS, the cat condo I got through e-bay was delivered--I'm hoping that one of my neighbors buzzed the delivery guy in so he could drop off the box in the lobby. I don't mind having to schlep it up the stairs, even if it is 80 pounds, 'cause this means I can put it together over the weekend and get the cat exercising more.
