I got new glasses today also. I guess they're okay, but I spent a lot of time looking at cooler-looking glasses and ended up with a pair remarkably similar to the ones I've had for the last 20 years.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Check. I should probably go pack.
oooh. Strega here soon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
All this eyeglass talk reminded me that I want to get some vintage frames. So I just checked bloglines, and the first thing was a link for vintage frames.

eta: Fuckdumplings! Every pair I like is sold out....

God, I feel like I am asking to bogart Allyson's eyeglasses opinions. That is not what I meant to do. Just cranky and whiney and whatnot.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Plate of shrimp.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'd love get a knit toy that is insanely funny.Oh dear I want to knit now. Or make friends with someone who knits.

I was just reading something about a group of Civil War reenactors who dress up in uniform... and knit.
But it was fiction.... [link]

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
Semi-Home From Mourning Meara
I think the ID people have wisely concentrated their efforts on proving all of biology wrong, before taking the larger step of proving all of geology and cosmology wrong.
Tom, I may need to tag that.
I’m curious about this Steph. If you consider the back, the knee, the appendix, or the thousands of failed “experiments” that we find recorded in our DNA, don’t these things seem more consistent with a gradual and imperfect process of evolution, a process that is constrained by its history, than they are with an a priori design by a supreme being? I mean, if we were designed so intelligently, why do we need a pharmaceutical industry?
Well, the assumption there is that G*d's priorities and your priorites are the same thing. If you believe that there is a vast eternal creator and that the vast eternal creator decided to make knees we'd consider "wonky" you accept that G*d could have his reasons.
Of course, lots of people believe in evolution AND an intelligent designer. The design isn't necessarily happening on OUR schedule after all -- in a few million years knees could be great.
The nice thing about mourning in Kentucky is that your Aunt sends you home with pimento cheese sandwiches.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
In the last hour and 45 minutes, I have driven home (somehow setting off my roadside assistance phone, which was a little embarassing), picked up lots of sushi, eaten lots of sushi, started the laundry (conning the neighbor who was going to the laundry room at the same time to give me most of the washers), brought up the huge tub o' cat litter, taken down the recycling (startling a racoon in the process), put the laundry in the dryer, cleared out all the unnecessary shows from tivo, watched most of the Colbert show, and pet the cats.
I think it is going to be tequila time soon, because I AM ON VACATION!
