Happy Quittin' Day, Shrift!
This is the first I've heard of Molly the cat. Cats getting stuck in, on, behind, or on top of things don't seem like they'd be news. Newspapers would have to be twice as big to carry all those articles, for starters.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Things not to do in LV: get caught up in a L&O marathon.
The guy used netherworld in the article. That's where I stopped reading.
I had to go back after seeing this. [link] Now that article cracks me up, *especially* the photo of the rescuer, which reminds me of Dorothea Lange (although I'm really just misremembering Migrant Mother).
Paras like this seem a subtle sendup of rescue stories (like the Floyd Collins rescue):
...reporters, photographers and television and radio crews recorded the scene and hung on every word from rescuers, who emerged now and then from steel trap doors in the sidewalk to report no progress. With little news, some reporters solicited the views of dog walkers and others who paused to watch the activity...

Yeah, Jesse. Unfortunately, I can't make our full-time faculty take on any more course sections because they are all tapped out. NYSED has very specific regulations on how many semester hours full-time faculty can teach because this is an alternative route certification program for teachers. Tons of regulations.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
David, everything Perkins said is good. I rubbed the Angel Toes at Hoover Dam (supposed to bring good fortune) and Joe and I won a good amount of money at the craps table.
The new pirate show at Treasure Island isn't so much with the pirates as it is with the hot, half naked chicks singing and gyrating on an em-bossomed pirate ship. THen, they get all wet.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That cat looks so pitiful. More sympathy due to the whole look of utter betrayal and hopelessness, rather than the normal cat reaction of trying to shred his owner.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hec--we LOVED the Liberace Museum [link] and I think you guys will, too.

Awesome! I felt bad missing Spidra's thing, but I'm not good about going out on weeknights. I crashed out relatively early and I'm taking today off! Yay! I'm going to walk the dog, and file, and sort clothes for charity, and all sorts of other useful things.
How was Spidra's show?
YAY SHRIFT on your last day! I'm so pleased!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Hmmmmm. I hope this sort of thing doesn't happen nationally this fall.
If Bush's approval numbers carry over to the congressional candidates, the housecleaning should be like unto the French Revolution. According to CBS News 1/3 of voters polled think of the upcoming elections as a chance to vote against Bush. [link]

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Things are looking up in the academic job market as the boomers start to retire.
There is indeed this phenomenon, but also, if what I've read is to be believed, a continuation of the trend to hire more part time, non tenure track and adjuncts to replace outgoing tenured professors... in order to keep costs down and have greater adminstrative control...so perhaps that would 'splain kat's problems with pinning down adjuncts. They are all in demand now!
