Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Thanks, y'all!

expecially since I spent at least 30 seconds admiring your ottoman before figuring out it was a dog.

As he's gotten older, he's been more and more approaching the activity level of furniture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and Corwood, a huge WOO HOO about the book! You too, Hec. Woo hoo!

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Find a gay-positive item in that initiative. I challenge you.

The fact that it passed is HUGE in this state, even though it winds up being largely symbolic at the core, and despite the fact that there will be a fight to overturn it. Last year's defeat was depressing and disheartening and a downer and a whole buncha stuff that starts with d, drat it.

Speaking of, I should email my (elementary school era) former carpoolmate who's now one of our openly-gay state reps and give him a high five.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One of my bosses told me, "It's a nice day. Why don't you leave...."

Yay!

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

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Gus, bunk.In retrospect, I wish my letters to HBO hadn't had quite the aura of "begging-ass bitch" they took on because I pretty much laid it out:

I've got no job, a political regime I don't support, and a dead dog. I need this show...please, please, please.

Hell, maybe I pushed it over. Maybe the VP of programming loves dogs. But if I had it to do over, I'd front a bit more...even Bubbles would be embarrassed for me. ETA: Incidentally, I got my tagline from the Wire chat at HBO...I'm not sure if it referred to us, the Wireheads, or to the lovely people at Blown Deadline, but I fell in love with it, either way. That mix of "high" and "low" kills me every time, you know.
