Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The sad thing about the live debate WW is that I would rather vote for either of them than the person we have now...

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

West Wing is reminding me why I dislike unstructured debates.

I bet Smits is smoother in the west coast performance.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Just as you can expect a herding dog to go bonkers with OCD if it doesn't have any herding jobs to do, you kind of have to expect a fighting dog to have a pretty strong fighting instinct.

Yeah, pretty much. My Australian Shepherd used to try to herd anything he could - bugs, mice, toddlers...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That West Wing was interesting.

I am also now obsessed with that Amazon Mechanical Turk thing ita linked to earlier. I am making many $.03s for looking at photos for A9. It satisfies my annoyance over when the pictures are bad.

Damn, Kristen -- shall we start a group home for the intermittently able?

I wonder if ita is contagious with the fainting? Kristen, I hope you're feeling better!

George is George. I like him when he's competent otherwise I kinda want to walk all over him, which isn't an appeal factor for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, what I really should have done earlier was ask Nilly for her help with my graphs.... Is there any good/easy way to draw super simple graphs with regular MS Office? I literally just need x and y axis and one straight line, and excel wants me to be doing something different than I am, apparently.

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

It's really easy with Excel. What are you trying?

Oh, and there's a panel of House of M #8 I want to marry. Is that possible? Can that be arranged?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have two sets of numbers that should really be the coordinates of the line, but Excel wants them to be two separate lines.

I think I'm just going to draw the damn thing with a pen. No big deal.

You don't want me to go into the other room and work it out? Or maybe I could google...

Really, I just have to draw a total of like six straight lines. I think that'll take less time.
