Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw some guy on Small Space, Big Style who got rid of his stove/oven in NYC. He relies on a toaster oven and a teeny microwave.

I don't know why I'm so shocked. We didn't get a microwave until I was in 8th grade so I know it's possible.

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

brenda, I think you got those last two links backwards.

I usually write block letters, and yess, it's small caps, but it doesn't usually read as ASSCAPS to me. I think between not being uniform computer font letters, and using bigger caps for the starts of sentences and proper nouns, it helps keep the ASSCAPS effect down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are a couple of things I'd like to use it (edit: the microwave, not the handwriting) for, but it's not worth giving up the space.

Oh yeah, handwriting in all caps is totally different.

Mine is a hodgepodge of lower case, upper case, and cursive. But it's legible.

So I was riding a bus to work this morning when I saw a bunch of cop cars in front of a building on Dodge Ave. Then after lunch I drove past the building again - the police cars were still there, there was yellow crime-scene tape and two Police vans marked 'Forensic' on them. It turns out that a four-year-old kid shot himself - he died this afternoon.

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

You know, a friend gave me a microwaveable neck thingy, and I think it was filled with buckwheat. I loved that thing. I left it at my parents' house when I went abroad and a few months later when they were moving house, they found it had become infested with maggots.

No more organic heating devices for me, though I do fantasize about them when my neck hurts. I saw something in Bed Bath that looked like it would do the trick without encouraging life, but was still too scared to buy.

Ouch, Tom. That's awful.
