Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The other day, I took a survey from Yahoo that asked how long I've been using the internet -- and the longest time option was "four years or more." I was like, Dude! Who, older than 6 and living in the first world, has been using the internet for less than four years??

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I also wonder what the people who are hiding their net usage from their loved ones (almost always listed as a "similar to drugs!" symptom in this kind of article) are actually doing on the internet. Because if they're hiding it because they hide all their porn, well, there's your answer. Lying about hours refreshing CNN.com would be a different kind of thing.

Even my mom's been online longer. Not very well, granted, but still!

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

Haven't we seen this data before?

Oh, and Bush thinks America owns outer space.

President Bush has signed a new National Space Policy that rejects future arms-control agreements that might limit U.S. flexibility in space and asserts a right to deny access to space to anyone "hostile to U.S. interests."

The right to deny access to space? Seriously, WTF?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Only a couple more years, sweetie. That's what I keep saying to myself.

Lisah, I recommend not clicking. It's not a cruelty thing or anything, but still. I already wrote my brother back saying it's not fair to make me cry at work. (Then I did it all to you, and to my boss and minion. What?)

ETA: I apologize in advance for how much my book likes carrots.

Every time I hear about your book, Allyson, I kick my computer and whine, "But I wanna read it nooooooowwwww!"

The Vorgons will not be pleased.

I have also brunched alone, the bar at Johnny D's in Somerville has provided many excellent brunches.
