It's his favorite food, and he's been eating it for a week this time with no problems. He hasn't eaten since yesterday, actually, but he often does that. I was concerned that he wasn't drinking water for a while, either, but he's back to normal there.

Tomorrow is gonna suck.

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

I hate it when that happens.

Though I was thinking earlier that for me, Thursdays are almost as good as Fridays for several reasons (good free lunch day, SPN, etc.)

Hm. Dog came to greet me when I got home but didn't jump around all excited like he usually does. If he's like this tomorrow morning, he's going to the vet.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have a purring cat in my lap again.(Now if she'd actually lie down rather than this crouch with random elevator butt moments...)

Thanks, Lee. He probably is, but he's been so problem free I'm ready to worry over the slightest thing.

Heh. Elevator butt.

Heh. Elevator butt.

What did you just call Lee?! Shocking!

I hope dog is okay. As above, some bland chicken and rice, or baby food and rice might go down easier.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Some great stuff coming out of this debate:

Worst political mistake you've made in the past four years:

"Believing the President"

"Voting for the war in Iraq"

"Overestimating the competence of this administration and underestimating the arrogance"

Hillary also brought up the health care mess from back in the day, and others did similarly - it wasn't just taking the easy answer.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I did not know that Bligh had more than one mutiny under him! Talk about a black mark on one's record. First time, shame on the mutineers, but second time --!

He was Governor of New South Wales some years after his Bounty command. And, yes, there was a mutiny. Being Australia, it was called the Rum Rebellion. In Bligh's defence, he was sent out there with a brief to clean up corruption in the NSW Corps.

Oh, and this is a great quote from Wikipedia:

Even before his arrival [in NSW], Bligh's style of governance led to problems with his subordinates. The Admiralty gave command of the Porpoise and the convoy to the lower ranked Captain Joseph Short and Bligh took command of a transport ship. This led to quarrels which eventually resulted in Captain Short firing across Bligh's bow in order to force Bligh to obey his signals. When this failed, Short tried to give an order to stand by to fire on Bligh's ship. Bligh boarded the Porpoise and seized control of the convoy.
