She's gotten SO much bigger since I was there. Still painfully cute though.
Yeah... That went well.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Nowadays, the only music I download without paying for is either free to begin with or impossible to purchase at any price (eg: mashups).

I'm not actually going to buy something until I have heard enough to increase the liklihood that I will also actually enjoy it. It's why I really don't buy a lot of music now. The owners of the intellectual property no doubt don't care, but they would make a whole lot more money off of me if I could take their intellects for a test drive first.
As the copyright "expert" at my library, I'm pretty anal about this, but there is a good argument that downloading an entire song to determine whether or not you want to buy it is fair use, as long as you either buy or delete afterwards. Copyright holders should be treated fairly. But fair use is there for a reason, and should be used but not abused in order to avoid losing it altogether.
getting off my soapbox now.

iTunes should really find a way to let me download a song for a couple of days before I have to shell the cash or it self-destructs. How do I know if I like something until I have commuted with it once or twice?
Ima go microwave the grain-filled thing and try to get some sleep now.

Dude, she's HUGE!
I just did the slide show, and she looks so small in the pictures with you and the pictures with Libkitty and Debet Esse.

Before you get too excited, Cass, fair use goes out the window if you have to circumvent electronic controls, as then the DMCA comes into play. But if you don't have to circumvent, you should be in good shape. By the way, IMnotsoveryHO, the DMCA is a crappy law. I highly recommend that people follow it, but complain bitterly to their legislators.

the generic name is zolpidem, if that helps
Thanks, Tep, I think it will.
Mal sat on his own! Tripoding, or frog style, or whatever it's called. But yay! Of course, he's also got stranger anxiety now.
I do not iTunes, because I can't use the music after downloading it, having no iPod. Every time I've tried to burn a CD from my iTunes music, I get only 6 songs on it. And I can't convert their proprietary file type to mp3. So, useless to me.

Anyway, stuff that has "fair" in the title and then actually tries to be fair? I'm in favor.
Bonus round for checking my mail before going to bed? Client's Web site shell is done. Whoot. Bless freelancers who offer to work a few hours over a weekend. Gonna make that production meeting tomorrow morning a whole lot nicer for me. And, you know, the client will be happy too. Just in case it isn't all about me.

I'm sure it's all about you, Cass.
Except the part that's all about Lily. She has gotten so big! And perhaps even more adorable than before, which is hard to imagine, but there you have it.
