I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Way better than motivation. And internal decapitation too.

Blessed be Trader Joe's.

Seriously, Nutella and wine. It's like Real-Life Midol. I don't think you need to have PMS for the comfort either, it's just really helping mine. It's just like puppies and ocean breezes and a massage. In your tummy and brain. The theory, not actually eating puppies.

Ed Viesturs is a rock god. Literally. I am hoping he proves me right on TDS.

I think it is almost bedtime.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Has anyone heard of this game ?

There is more info at the Wiki article

I only mention it cuz I learned about it today, and it seems kinda crazy that a christian game wants you to convert or kill everyone. A buddy has linked me a lefty group who is protesting Wal-Mart selling the game, but not other violent games.

Crazy!

oof. it's morning. The house is quiet, except for the heat. And I am unmotivated to do anything. But it's been 3 days since I've been at work. I should get my butt in gear and dress so I can make my 5:30 AM breakfast appointment on time.

Sleepy, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have to take Muppet to the vet's to get her teeth cleaned. This means no breakfast this morning, so I've locked myself in my room to avoid the irate feline emotion on display. Happily, I can go get dressed right now and pop her into the cage, and whisk her off to her DOOM.

I feel like such a traitor to all that is cat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's because it's the middle of the night where you are!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yeesh. Like a compression fracture, in reverse. But the real question is, what is a preteen doing racing cars? If he can't get a driver's license, how is he getting on the NASCAR circuit (or whatever they have in Britain)??

Jeff Gordon was racing USAC midgets when he was 16 years old. He was racing full sized sprint cars before he turned 18, too. And those things go over 100 mph. Gordon started his racing career on short dirt tracks in Indiana before he had his drivers' license.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Heh. Photoshopped chimeras. I like the parrot. And the penguin.

Oh, hey, is Lee around? I did finally start reading those Nora Roberts books, and do you still have the third one? Because now I need it. No one told me if I read three more pages, they'd be in NYC! I was afraid it was going to be all swirling capes and ancient cliffs.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Wow. Those photos are cool, but some of them took me to a very Uncanny Valley sort of place.
