Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes, it should be.

That's a little piece of mind. Not that I'm planning on getting stopped but we're travelling this weekend so I don't want to get in trouble with some state cop on the freeway because I don't have my new registration. The sticker on the plates covers all of October, so that won't be an issue.

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

Crying during a krav test is the best. No one will talk to me about it, the tears are lost in sweat, and I'm gasping and screeching anyway. You can throw everything into it.

Now, crying when other people are doing stuf -- I just up and admitted to it to one of the more senior instructors, and he looked at me and said "You're such a girl." Yeah -- terribly feminine to get choked up by stress drills on the heavy bag. Still, he'd rag on me for the weather if he could. I don't take it personal.

I was ranting about asshat Big!Boss today and a colleague suggested I go break down in his office. As if that would be an appropriate way to get him to take me seriously. Unfortunately I couldn't break down in his office if I wanted to; I would be more likely to break things. Like his arm.

The European commission is warning that if a deal cannot be reached at a meeting in Tunisia next month the internet will split apart.

The internet can't split, or else George W. Bush will be using a term correctly for once, and that's reason enough for us all to get along.

msbelle, I think the proper lyrics to that start with a P and end with an enis.

Not that it's one of mr. flea's favorite novelty songs or anything.

(First typed "novelty dongs"!)

Oh, and did one of the Mars rovers get stuck again, or did I dream that?

Almost. They wrote some software upgrades that check for wheel slip and stop the automated drives if the wheels seem to be getting stuck. So the rover was able to back safely out of the tall sand dune a day or two later and keep on going.

The Mars rovers are so cute.

A woman's walking by with a large foil-covered plate. I want to mug her. I should just go get my yoghurt instead.

LORI!

I've been singing it to the tune of the "hello operator, give me #9" song, I think. Possibly the same tune as your husband's disturbing song.

Do your ears hang low?
Do they waggle to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them over your shoulder,
Like a Continental soldier?
DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW????
