Night Kat!

Ah, ita. It's too bad it's not good.

Did you look at the cuddle couch?

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

No -- I may look on Saturday. What I need is a co-cuddler, for testing. If only I had more free time!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Good lord. Spain has legalised same-sex marriages. [link] Canada I was expecting, but now Spain too.

Can I also add, I love Spain's relationship to the visual aesthetic. I'm looking at the picture of the protesters against the new law, and my first thought is "Damn, that is a sensational image".

Gorgeous Isaac and Franny! My friend here who just had a baby also has a dainty-featured almost 2 year old girl and a big big newborn boy. Isaac looks like such a boy.

A kid I used to babysit for is expecting a child. I mean, he's 24, so it's not that crazy, but still.

Babies. They boggle me.

one of Nutty's all-time favorites, Byung-Hyun Kim.

Poor soul. At least he gets regular playing time in the airless chasm that is Colorado.

Now that Biggio's broken the modern record, what will the (anonymous) owner of plunkbiggio.com do?? Tracking the record of outfield collisions? of comebacker injuries? (Lori mentioned the other day some AAA kid, Kyle Denney, fractured his skull on a comebacker. Speaking of poor souls, this same kid managed not to be seriously injured after being shot in the leg because he was wearing white go-go boots at the time of the shooting. Next up: he will accidentally trigger a nuclear explosion by sneezing.)

I went to a concert last night, and it started at 8pm (closer to 8:20), and at 10 I turned into a pumpkin and had to go home. Since I was awake for good at 5:20am, it's probably just as well that I skipped out after an hour of Erin McKeown, right? She was pretty good, all guitar and bounciness (although so loud I couldn't understand the lyrics), but my back hurt and I was ready for bed.

Frankly, I'm disappointed that this is getting press:

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise believes in aliens - claiming it would be arrogant to think we, as humans, were alone in this universe. The movie star is currently promoting his new film War Of The Worlds, which sees him on the run from extra-terrestrials who cause havoc on earth. In a interview with German newspaper Bild, Cruise says, "Yes, of course (I believe in aliens). Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe? Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know." Cruise is a long-time follower of the controversial Church of Scientology and is believed to be converting his fiancee Katie Holmes to the religion.

Of course he believes in aliens. Not in the "infinity is pretty huge, man is pretty small" way outlined above (which I'm fairly in line with), but SPACE CLAMS. XENU. BODY THETANS. The above piece is the sanest he's sounded in weeks -- maybe his PR machine is kicking into corrective overdrive, because it's not an effective way to make him look nuts, especially with all the available material.
