You're going to die anyway, so you might as well knit.
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with 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.

I'm back from my interview at the CBC. The position is a new one, a combo of describing archival backlog and being a music librarian for the radio. They asked lots of challenging questions like "What two current local news stories would you preserve for 20 years in the future?" "How do you keep in touch with the local music scene?" "How will technological changes affect the music industry?" (Damn, I just thought of a better answer for that.)
The one question I couldn't answer was "Can you recommend any recent local new releases of Christmas music for an upcoming Xmas charity show?" WTF? Christmas music?
I wore the black pants and top with the teal blazer, and i felt appropriately dressed. They did make me wear a big honking orange VISITOR sticker on my jacket, however. It was ruining my look!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, Sue, that sounds like a great job. Good luck!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, you know, y'all aren't family. So it's different
I get that. I do. And I respect it completely.
I'm just impressed with restraint.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
People! en-dashes and em-dashes signify completely different things!!!
The funniest part about the avian flu hysteria is that right now, it is just a lot of birds with the sniffles. That's a lot of money to spend on sneezy chickens and scare tactics.
I know, right? I said that this morning when NPR played the snippet of Bush's speech, where he said "Even though there IS NO global pandemic...."
So, there's no pandemic, there's no proof that it can be transmitted from human to human, and yet we should preemptively spend billions of dollars that we don't have?
WTF?!?

I am a walking (or sitting) stereotype and have a Dilbert cartoon taped up at my desk.
I have one, too!
Panel one: "I got a bad case of ergophobia. It's an abnormal and persistent fear of work."
Panel two: "Isn't everything about you a little abnormal and persistent?"
Panel three: "Yeah, but I'm still delighted when I discover new words for me."
It's times like this I wish I were a psychopath.
I've been listening to my "Songs for the Homicidal Maniac" playlist on iTunes for weeks now. I probably don't have anything you don't already have for cheer-up music, but I probably could toss up a few...

Sure. Or homicidal. That would work too.
