I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

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

Bush's grope: "Blitz-Massage" or Vulcan nerve pinch? (With photos of Bush and the Chancelor, and of Spock giving a Vulcan nerve pinch.)

Germans may be obsessed with shaking hands, but it is a very brief shake. Even family members will shake hands with each other. Touching of this sort is for -very- close friends in private. At least this produced yet another cool German word: "Blitz-Massage."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Project Runway: SHOCKER!! I really thought Malan would be on for a good long time. I mean, that dress did suck, but at least he had a Point Of View, like they're always yammering on about. Also, I thought this was the week with someone getting kicked off. Lame.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In dangerous neighbourhood talk, I lived right between the Argentinian embassy during the Falkland War and the site of the Hyde Park bombing. I, uh, also lived in Detroit. And Jamaica.

LA's nice and safe.

tommy, maybe someday all electronic devices worth more than $50 will come with remote locator beacons. That sucks.

Yeah, I was thinking that when I was in bed last night, trying to sleep remember where I might have left it....

Oh well - I still have my Nano (but I sold my 40 gig one).

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I live in Durham. Folks in Raleigh and Chapel Hill sometimes get all "Ooooh, Durham's so dangerous" about it, but my neighborhood, at least, feels as safe as anywhere else I've lived in the Triangle.

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

ACK, Whitefont.

I haven't seen PR yet. Must.Be.Strong.

ita, did you see last night's Hustle?

Because books.

Me, either. Of course, I turned on the Today Show for five minutes while getting the kids' breakfast and managed to be spoiled about who's out. Stupid show.

Why does string cheese taste so much better when you peel off strings to eat, as opposed to just biting off a chunk?

I dunno. Why don't you ask the mice?

They're biased. Um, in favor of more testing.
