To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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

Nah, not really.

Maybe I shouldn't have tried to solve it at 3 in the morning....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's really interesting, tommyrot.

I have had a computer miracle! As I was going to bed last night, my cat got caught in my computer cords, and pulled the whole shebang off the coffee table. So I went and looked, and my jump drive was all askew sticking out of the USB port. I pulled it out, it was fucked up. So I went to bed, figuring I'd deal with it in the morning. This morning, I just bent the USB part of the drive back into shape, plugged it back in, and all is well! PHEW.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Thrive to spite them

TX House votes to end gay foster parenting.

I saw that and now I'm worried this will impact Florida. Florida only allows hetrosexuals to adopt but anyone can be a foster parent. Even though there have been attempts to get this changed it hasn't happened. Now I'm worried that the Florida wingnuts will try and push for a similiar law here.

On Alias, who else really really really wanted Nadia to shoot the stupid red ball like Sydney did(or whatever it was that broke it)?

I mean, really.

I'd also like to know why my cat insists on using the litterbox when I'm in the bathroom. Yick. And why the other one loves getting "blow-dried" (he's not damp to begin with) so much.

Art Crawl!!!

Your cats are weird?

I can't remember what Sydney did to the giant red ball -- is that the thing that caused the flood for the "Oh no! Vaughn is going to drown in a building" cliff-hanger? I want to know if the thing with the elevator that Sloan referenced was something we saw in season 1 or something that happened (as it should be via that craxy Alias time-line) during Syd's lost two years.

Coding and Sleeping

Yesterday's wallpaper discussion made me change my wallpaper.

Picture one is my play yard project now that stage 2 is complete. Stage 3 is where things finally start taking shape, but involves a lot of prep work since I'm painting the parts before assembly.

Picture two is my new wallpaper.

Picture three is perhaps another wallpaper after cropping and adjusting.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.

Sumi - at the end of Season 1 of Alias Sydney attached a bomb to the generator that was powering the red ball. When it blew up all the water that was being suspended created the tidal wave.

As for the elevator cable being cut - it was mentioned that it happened in Moscow "four years ago" which would have put it at the end of season 2. (I think)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I think the Moscow thing was not something we ever saw onscreen. But yes, I wanted a callback to the exploding giant red ball of pointlessness. I mean, it's a very cool visual, but what the hell is it FOR, other than for people to shoot and make it explode?

Fanatic!Sloane is awesomely creepy.
