You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I mean, how did she even ask? "Hey, I need you to clip my fingernails,"?

She came over to me, holding a pair of scissors, and said "I need you to do a favor for me."

I knew when I took this job that it would be partly in a personal-assistant capacity, but that seems beyond the pale. Glad to hear that it's not just me being overly sensitive.

I was so bummed as a kid when Viking apparantly showed there was no life on Mars.

There are scientists that dispute that.

Edit: That Viking showed there was no life on Mars, not that you were bummed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, you know what? People who can hire personal assistants should GET A PROFESSIONAL MANICURE. Oy.

Speaking of which, my manicure from almost 10 days ago only just now looks crappy. Impressive! But I am on strict orders to do my own nails (finger and toe) for the next six weeks.

Today is sort of boring at work. I'm working on transitioning our build system from the old perl based build/web interface to a new Ant/CruiseControl/JSP based build/web interface. Running a test build takes forever so I'm spending a lot of time waiting for my computer to do things.

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

Yeah. That's why I put in the word "apparantly." Though I suppose I could have come up with a better qualifier.

Anyone in California who's thinking of buying a cloned cat--better do it soon before it becomes illegal.

Also, the price has come down: now $32,000, down from $50,000 last year.

"Allergry-proof" cats may be banned too.

Now you can build a 30-bit data input device.
