You also have a good friend who famously loves cupcakes, so my guess is they won't be sad or uneaten for long.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

That cat looks so much like a beloved, now dead, kitty friend. Makes me kind of sniffy.

Yikes, Brenda!
I tried to get a shrimp wrap at Hot Wings to Go today, but they didn't have any wrap bread and so it became a po' boy, and not exactly the light, calorie conscious lunch I was angling for. Also, they included what looked like 2 lbs. of french fries on the side. I countered by defrosting my Mardi Gras king cake at work today, thus ensuring that I'd only eat one slice and the rest will be eaten by my snack-friendlier co-workers while I'm on vacation.
Ah well, at least now I know what to order if I haven't eaten in a week and only have seven bucks for food.

Didn't mean to make you all sad, Burrell! Have a puppy--it'll make you feel better!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

When the Army Corps of Engineers solicited bids for drainage pumps for New Orleans, it copied the specifications — typos and all — from the catalog of the manufacturer that ultimately won the $32 million contract, a review of documents by The Associated Press found.
While it may not be a violation of federal regulations to adopt a company's technical specifications, it is frowned on, especially for large jobs like the MWI contract, because it could give the impression the job was rigged for the benefit of a certain company, contractors familiar with Corps practices say.
You think?

Oh no, Kathy, it was nice to be reminded of such a sweet kitty.
Dana, that makes me feel all GRRRR! I mean, I know by now how the world works, but that doesn't make it right.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Assholes. I also notice that their expert who says it's not a big deal wrote a book about which the summary says this, "The focus is selling, not how to comply with federal red tape and administer federal contracts."

Oh Army Corp of Engineers, you couldn't maintain the appearance of propriety for two years?
Bastard coated bastards with bastard filling.
