Baby hedgehogs!!!

They're cute, but mean when they grow up.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Kat, best of luck in dealing with all your stuff. You're handling everything with such grace, it is truly amazing.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

In honor of Kat, I am eating a Dots cupcake for breakfast.

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

My stockings are in honour of Kat. Seriously.

I bought the pinstripe ones too. Not sure I have the right skirt for them yet.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Kat - insent to your phone.

I am having McD for lunch. I had BK for dinner yesterday. And if I plan things right, I will have Baskin Robbins for dinner tonight.

I know that is feeding all the wrong things in my brain. I know it, and yet...ok to counteract destructive simple carb and sugar intake, I will make a salad tonight also and for lunch tomorrow along with grilled chicken.

I am eating a coffee cake muffin. I probably won't have lunch. This is no way to live, yet I do.

I am so sleepy. This is the first time I've gone right into work after dilaudid, and it's not easy.

I was reading this article on the ICC and Darfur and was struck by these excerpts:

He told the BBC the government had a legal duty to arrest the men, even though Sudan is not one of the 120 states that signed up to the creation of the ICC.

and

The BBC's Geraldine Coughlan in the Hague says in the light of the court's decision, Sudan, despite its rhetoric, is now obliged to co-operate in handing these first two named suspects over to the ICC.

How can a group like the ICC force its legal will on another country? Is that legit and with precedent?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So I got called for jury duty a while ago. I rescheduled, since it was for last week and I was leaving town on Thursday. (Then I rescheduled again, because husband and I ending up booking a cruise on short notice.) So I'm scheduled for jury duty at the district court on the 15th.

Guess what came in the mail today? A jury duty summons for the municipal court.

I don't see how it is legit if Sudan didn't sign the treaty to form the ICC. I'm guessing the ICC feels it must respond to Darfur, legit or not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That can't be right, Dana. I mean, you can't have to do both.

I have thinky work to do, and no brain to do it with. This is a dilemma.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

How can a group like the ICC force its legal will on another country? Is that legit and with precedent?

Yes, this is basically the problem the US had with it. I wrote an essay on it once but forget what their bases are; probably universal jurisdiction (any country can have juris over the citizens of any other country for certain extra-special crimes like genocide, airplane hijacking (maybe?) and mass rape).
