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

I keep wondering when someone is going to think I abuse him.
Nah, they've met him.

From what I can tell, he decided that the flower vase on the counter was evil, and needed to be destroyed, and then examined and walked through.
Poor boo... Vases can often be evil.

Thankfully Puppycat only thinks flowers are kitty snacks and thus loves vases as if they were chalices.

I hope he heals up easy.

Is meth any different from the amphetamines (speed) we learned about in Health class in the 80's?

yes it is. Wikipedia says it's similar, but does not go into why it's different.

I hope he's better soon! Amarna has a love of knocking things off of shelves/tables/hutches, especially if she's bored and wants attention (she doesn't seem to do it when I'm not around). Last night, it was one of the computer speakers that she shoved off the computer hutch, and I'm afraid she might go after one of the vases that I have up there next.

MADISON, Wisconsin (AP) -- The Wiccan pentacle has been added to the list of emblems allowed in national cemeteries and on government-issued headstones of fallen soldiers, according to a settlement announced Monday.

About bloody time.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope he's better soon!

Thanks (to Cass too). He should be. He always is. I thought this was out of his reach, but I guess I was wrong.

I really love that the article included this:

Wicca is a nature-based religion based on respect for the earth, nature and the cycle of the seasons. Variations of the pentacle not accepted by Wiccans have been used in horror movies as a sign of the devil.

because so many people have NO CLUE what wicca really is and think that they worship Satan. I love that people suspend disbelief that Jason rises from the dead 13 times, but assume that the use of a symbol with five points in a circle means satan in real life.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Joe Francis doesn't like jail very much. Bwahahahahaha!

Bwahahahahaha!

This will never be unfunny.

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

Joe Francis is reportedly going crazy in jail -- literally -- under the withering verbal assault of a convicted cop killer who's going wild, taunting Francis day and night with shouts of "Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo!"

Hee!

The Vacuum Cleaner in Art

The recurring nature of dust and dirt as a metaphor for resurrection and transformation is an underlying theme for many of the artists below. Eliza Gagnon will be presenting a video edited from interviews she did with an astonishing range of Americans on various aspects of dust and cleaning, including 9/11 dust, cleaning and sex, cleaning and race, and favorite cleaning product smells. Like many of the artists, Merav Ezer’s work is informed by her experiences as an emigrant from her country of origin. Using a vacuum, she creates molds of personal objects such as cigarettes and high heels, preserving them.

This is the coolest part:

Bobby Zokaites rebuilds Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners for the function of painting. The algorithm that the machines use to vacuum rooms then becomes visible. The Roombas will be painting at the opening, petting is allowed.
