I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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

"Mystery Meeting" could be a more adult version of "Mystery Date."

more adult version of "Mystery Date."

Wouldn't that be "Mystery Hook-Up"

And the sequel, "Mystery Rash."

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

I got Mystery Rash already covered, yet no dates or hook-ups.

How sad.

Okay, migraine diary slightly up to date. I missed an entire week. I have the high level filled in, but would be cheating on most of the details.

Slacker-me.

Now off to update project plans, which have much better notes.

Ya know....

Stephen Baldwin preaches to teens that Bono is in league with Satan. Don't laugh, the born-again actor is a cultural advisor to Bush and one of the most popular new evangelists in the country.

...

Furthermore, he writes, efforts to end global poverty and violence are just the sort of "stupid arrogance" that incur God's wrath, which we'll be feeling any day now in the coming apocalypse. I suppose when the star of "Bio-Dome" is advising the president and converting kids by the thousands to his gnarly brand of faith, the end is, indeed, nigh.

[His new book] "The Unusual Suspect" features an open letter to Bono, lambasting him for lobbying for debt relief for developing countries instead of preaching the gospel on MTV. Bono must be in league with Satan, whom Baldwin spends a lot of time thinking about.

Jellied Gin and Tonic

I made a variation of this for my Goodbye to Summer party and it was a bit hit. My recipe was 1 cup gin/3 cups tonic though. Also, it called for plain slices of lime, which was a disaster, with the gelée cubes sliding all over the place. I look forward to trying the baking thing next time.

FWIW, moose don't do well in captivity, rarely lasting beyond a year or two, and no one knows for sure why. Thank goodness they're still far from endangered at this point.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Fucking hate mystery meetings. Phone calls that consist of "can you come up?" (I'm on the top floor!) scare me shitless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
