Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm getting my haircut after work today and I'm ready for a change. What do people think of this [link]

I like that cut a lot, but it does kind of remind me of the cut I had a bit ago that I was always afraid looked like Carol Brady, on the mullet side of things.

I don't enjoy doing work very much. Maybe instead of getting a job after I graduate, I can just...not.

If I only had a brain...

I realize I am a bad bad person, but this story does make me giggle.

Two Cambridge University students "let their college down" by sending a hamster through the post, a court heard today.

Michael Taylor, prosecuting on behalf of the RSPCA, said the manageress, Josephine Rusby, recognised the pair because they had been in a week earlier and had tried to buy a hamster, but they had been refused on that occasion because they were drunk.

When asked why he gave a false name and address when purchasing the hamster, Jordan said: "Because I thought it would be a bit suspicious posting a hamster if I got caught.

Damn those hamster yobbos! (Note: the hamster was found before it got hurt.)

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

So I've been hanging out on this other board... for people who collect and restore old police cars. We've figured out that the car I just bought has to be an ex-police car (or was at least sold to some government agency with the LTD "police" package), as that's the only way it could have the factory engine it does.

Here are some pictures: [link]

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Awww, it has a happy ending!

The animal was discovered by a postman, Robert Maher, as he was emptying a postbox in Market Square in Cambridge on June 22. It had chewed through the envelope, and its head was peeping out.

Mr Maher took the hamster to a vet in Cambridge, Patrick von Heimendahl, where it was found to be unharmed.

The hamster has since been adopted by Rachel Thompson, a nurse at Mr von Heimendahl's practice. She has given it the name First Class.

I knew I could get into trouble for it. I do not think it crossed my mind that it was morally wrong.

Asshole.

In other news, my testers don't have a clue. NOT A SINGLE DAMNED CLUE.

Art Crawl!!!

People who were watching the dog show this weekend. Pictures are up on the AKC website. May I recommend the "Meet the Breed Booth" pictures from Saturday and the "Meet the Breed Booth" winners pictures from Sunday.

(Also, Greg Louganis was there competing in agility with his Parson Russell Terrier.)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I need someone to convince me that being bored isn't a good enough reason to go spend too much money on sushi for lunch, especially when I bought my lunch in order to save money.

Which of them won?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

Another case-in-point about smart people acting dumbly on TV: the Daily Show had an interview the day before with Mark Crispin Miller, no dummy, who Ed Helms made a fool of.
