Shit's all sorts of different now.

Waiting for B&E to be baby ready and the six of us are off to Disneyland! Whee!

Is it excessively pissy of me to be annoyed at my roommate for putting dirty dishes into the dishwasher at the same time that I'm unloading it, especially when it leads me to start putting away dirty dishes? There's efficient, and then there's just plain stupid.

No. Not at all. That is completely justified pissy.

I don't know but I got into a grump with JZ this morning about dishes, so it might be something in the air.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that seems reasonable, Theo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Theo, sounds fair. Unless...no, I'm coming up blank on an unless.

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

Damn. This is sad.

St. Louis Cardinals reliever Josh Hancock was killed in an auto accident Saturday night in St. Louis, the second tragedy involving a Cardinals pitcher in five years.

The Cubs-Cardinals game on Sunday night in Busch Stadium was postponed and will be rescheduled at a later date.

A vehicle driven by Hancock apparently struck a truck that was assisting a disabled vehicle, team spokesman Brian Bartow said.

Dean at M.I.T. Resigns, Ending a 28-Year Lie

Marilee Jones, the dean of admissions at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, became well known for urging stressed-out students competing for elite colleges to calm down and stop trying to be perfect. Yesterday she admitted that she had fabricated her own educational credentials, and resigned after nearly three decades at M.I.T. Officials of the institute said she did not have even an undergraduate degree.

Art Crawl!!!

Not only is it fair -- I know I'd be fairly annoyed just to have another person right there at my elbow while I'm trying to do something.

yes, that's caused quite a stir around here, as you can imagine. I thought of linking it a couple days ago (story broke on Thursday) but decided not to...

Crazy! But I can see how it could have happened, given the institutional culture and historical context.
