I'm very sorry if she tipped off anyone about your cunningly concealed herd of cows.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

recon...hahaha...cile...hahaha...whoa...excuse me....HAHAHAHA.

if it is any consolation, it is STILL of by some random amount under a dollar. Used to be $7 something but that mysteriously went away.

I'm a wee paranoid when it comes to money.

hip deep in pie

Season 1 of Remignton Steele is coming out on DVD!

I always liked this season best, before Doris Roberts was allowed to annoy me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

With cash, the money's already gone from my account, and with credit, it's not due until the end of the month. Debit purchasing is unsettlingly instant to me.

I like the instantaneousness (is that a word? instantaneosity?) because it makes me keep closer track. My new card bugs, because they charge a fee for debit transactions with the PIN but not for charge transactions. That day or two before it reflects in my account is what makes me nervous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

wOO-HOO! I am 35 on today's fastest NYTimes online X-word solvers! 35!

I might have to stop doing this, I'll never beat that.

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

Excellent anti-Bush cartoon: [link]

It's not funny 'cause it's true.

Trust my rage

In other news, I've become sadly addicted to the minute-by-minute Tour de France newsflashes.

I'm watching the Tour right now, AIFG. Actually, it's a rather dull stage, but still fun to watch.

amych, you are so right! This may as well be the All-Lance-All-the-Time channel. Personally, I think the guy is amazing, but I sort of wish he had retired last year so someone else could win for once.

eta: also, my bank pays *me* to use my debit card

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Planet with three suns discovered:

Caltech astronomer Maciej Konacki, who wrote the research article, refers to the new type of planets as "Tatooine planets," because of the similarity to Luke Skywalker's view of his home planet by the same name, with its multiple suns, in the original "Star Wars" film.

A while back I was reading an article on what it would take to send an unmanned probe to a nearby star. The article said that launching such a probe could happen by (IIRC) 2050 or so. So not in most of our lifetimes, but it's cool to know that scientists moslty know how to do it. (The biggest problem is creating and storing the antimatter fuel.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Kat, How does April Cornell clothing run, size wise?

Also, you are evil.

Have a good first day!
