As so often on Overheard In New York, the title really makes it: [link]
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha!
I was listening to an NPR podcast on Post Secrets (there's going to be a book), and he talked about the follow up mail he receives. One of the most touching was of a women who wrote up the postcards with 6 things she couldn't tell her boyfriend, but instead of sending them in ended up leaving them on the pillow next to him as he slept.
He came into her office that day and proposed.
Sometimes, I like people. But usually specific ones.

OMG, I can't believe I made my group have a conversation about what citation style we were all going to use, and then they didn't do it! Now I get to fix it all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TYPO BOY!!

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
I'm trying to figure out if it's just me. Is that microsoft live thing really klunky to use? Maybe I'm just too used to the way that google maps works...
Looks like their aerial imagery is the same as google's, but their "bird's eye view" is new. Good detail, but weird to use.
Anyhoo, view of our back yard:

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anyhoo, view of our back yard: here
