Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Happy Birthday Caspar!

Damn, two weeks!?! Here's hoping the Emmys are the only material they have when they get back.

May she enjoy her cake with gusto!

You know how city buses often have huge ads on the side, and more often than not they are PSAish, like from the AdCouncil or whomever, warning you of the perils of X? A bus this morning was emblazoned with "THEY FOUGHT THE WAR ON DRUGS. THE DRUGS WON" Rather bewildered me until the car blocking the last bit of the ad moved and I saw it was for The Wire dvds.

I was sent this picture this morning: [link] It's not great quality, but it turns out I'm the barely visible toddler lower right. I guess the plus side of Pluto's demotion is all these old astronomers are getting around to scanning their pictures of Clyde!

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

Crap. I stepped in some Monday....

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

Ah, Damn, Tommy, that sucks. I hope you didn't track it into work with you.

It's true. (/Simon likes carrots.) Okay, so we're pretending that one closes. Fighting on the lie. Eh...hbo.com has already had the obligatory pissed off jaded cop come on and post how Burns and Simon get it wrong giving humanity to drug dealers. They make me sad. I'll know when it's fall when some clownish "community activist" accuses them of exploiting the pain of people they don't even know. I'm not sure why I hang out there...it does make me feel like a genius with my life in front of me, I suppose.
