Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

They skip some letters.

Sophia, a friend of mine has a cat with the sucking/kneading issue. He started out especially liking knits, so if you weren't paying attention, you'd end up with cat slobber spots on your tshirts. They eventually found out he liked fleece even more than tshirt/people and got him his own, so whenever he starts up, they throw the fleece at him and he's diverted.

I tell them at least he doesn't hump them.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I hope the Zmayhems get unsick soon.

Shouldn't it be Hurricane Uma?

I believe they skip U, X, Y, and Z. And possibly Q. Pity. If we had to have this many hurricanes in a season, the least they could do would be to name one "Xena". Or "Zod". I'm not picky.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They skip q, u, x, y, and z in the naming scheme.

(Hugely x-posty, natch. Or should that be alpha-posty, since the alphabet ends after W.)

(Leading me to wonder, does the world?)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And super-lamely, the next one would be Alpha. Why not Aaron? And then, um Bbob.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Sophia Brooks - my cat used to do that. But she'd only suck my neck. I've no idea. She'd go nuts over it.

And then she jumped out the window of my flat.

Okay, Hurricane Zod would sort of be awesome. Especially if it roared onto land and yelled "Kneel before Zod!"

Ack! How terrible. This just reaffirms my paranoia about windows.

OK, which airlines are going under ? I hate searching fares. Too many choices, so many of them bad.
