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 what ya do fun other than the drinking?
There was napping. And a friend took me out to dinner. Had really good fish (forget what it was).
ION: Scientists discover swimming ants
North Queensland scientists have discovered a new type of ant, believed to be the only species that can live, swim and navigate under water.

Our wings are not tired.
Ah, nap is a treat indeed. Now that I think about it I have been awake for 17 hours and could use some shut eye.
Also, ewwww, swimming ants not so much a good thing.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I went to see Failure to Launch and it was fun if mildly stupid. But fun, and funny.
And I ate too much.

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
Happy Birthday Tommyrot!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Tommy!
And ew, swimming ants is freaky. Maybe that's the kind Betsy had when they were frozen in her icecubes?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, Tom!

Huh. Kojak just arrested Huggy Bear.
That's wrong.
eta: OK, they just pretended to arrest him. Oh, and Leslie Nielson is in this.
The '70s were a special time.

(To sum up -- very good writer, but kind of batshit crazy.)
Hm, I thought he sounded pretty reasonable, but I've read a lot of articles about him so I may be desensitized. If they'd wanted to make him sound crazy, they'd have mentioned that he worships a sock puppet.
Vaguely related: I went to the comic shop today and everything was on sale, and I couldn't quite justify buying more Invader Zim toys, but it was a near thing. And then I wondered if they were going out of business. And then I heard someone ask if they were going out of business, and the clerk explained no, it was their anniversary so they were having a sale. They hardly ever do storewide sales, which is why it caused alarm.
But I got a Tomorrow Stories special, so see, it was related. Barely. And also a comic that I bought solely because it had a gorilla on the cover. It looked funny, too, but mostly the gorilla sold it.
And happy birthday, tommyrot! I wish you many monkeys. And no hangover.

I can't even.
I saw Beowulf and Grendel tonight, the Canadian/Icelandic co-production, with Gerard Butler, Stellen Starsgaard and Sarah Polley. Uh, sure, I liked parts of it, but holy fuck, what a mess. Accents galore! Irish, scottish, Toronto, what the hell, let's have a little kiwi in there. Clothing, hmm, women so difficult to costume for the 6th century, how about some 15th century Spanish? Oh, and by the way, we have three helmets. Would you guys mind crowding together for this shot, then handing the helmets off to those other guys for the group shot? Yeah. Iceland pretty. Lots of cragginess. Some good dialogue, delivered in wildly varying accents across time and space, but good, occasionally. We got Sarah Polley playing Robin of Sherwood Maid Marian as a witch, banging pretty much whatever comes along, so that's good, I guess, if not really all that connected to, y'know, the Beowulf story, but hey.
"Odin, protect us. May we find our way home safely." And in the end, we all did, mostly. Thanks for that, big guy.
