Composer Gian Carlo Menotti has died. The NY Times obit talks a lot about his most famous opera, "Amahl and the Night Visitors", but my favorite title has to be "Help, Help, the Globolinks".

Synopsis: "A busload of children becomes stranded when the vehicle breaks down. It is soon surrounded by unearthly globolinks, who are repulsed by musical sounds. A child goes off to get help and the children are saved by the intervention of good music."

Parents' new puppy died unexpectedly.

Terrible! Did they get it from a breeder?

Yeah, but at this point, they don't know why she died. Went into cardiac arrest after her spaying surgery. It's just awful.

Poor Dana! Poor Dana's parent's! How heartbreaking. Makes me want to go home and snuggle my bubbe.

Somebody say something happy, quick!

Tom DeLay has almost certainly been hit in the nuts with a heavy object at some point in his life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Gah, that's a bad week!
