Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today is the first day in which the total world population of city-dwellers exceeds the total world population of rural-folk.
There’s no big countdown billboard or sign in Times Square to denote it, but Wednesday, May 23, 2007, represents a major demographic shift, according to scientists from North Carolina State University and the University of Georgia: For the first time in human history, the earth’s population will be more urban than rural.
Working with United Nations estimates that predict the world will be 51.3 percent urban by 2010, the researchers projected the May 23, 2007, transition day based on the average daily rural and urban population increases from 2005 to 2010. On that day, a predicted global urban population of 3,303,992,253 will exceed that of 3,303,866,404 rural people.

Today I think is a day that will never end! It will just go on and on, my friend!

My day got briefly more exciting for a few minutes when I realized I'd put the wrong date down on the calendar I'd entered my airplane reservations into. No, it really IS tomorrow that I fly... not today (and 15 minutes ago, to boot).

For lack of anything better to do, I'm back to reading about FanLib.

OMG, I could fill a whole blog with those kind of notes from around my office.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I forgot the yahoo id that links to my ita_ita_ita flickr account. So I can't play BRQG.
Today's blouse is more sheer than I was expecting. A simple all the way down bra isn't enough. Will need tank or camisole.
Ah, well, next time.
I hate knowing today's migraine is going to be a doozy. Wednesdays are especially bad for me, for reasons I can't divine. I hope that not taking Percoset last night isn't a factor, but I'm already feeling the left arm weakness, and that never ends well. Still, live in the moment rather than fear of the next onset. Hard to do sometimes, but I gotta try.

France has said it plans to offer incentives to more immigrants - especially those from Africa - to return home voluntarily.
New Immigration Minister Brice Hortefeux said a family with two children would be paid 6,000 euros (£4,068) to return to their country.
Look, if you didn't want them in, don't let them in (I'm assuming they're legal, since the article doesn't mention otherwise).

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Oh noes! I can't open the BRQG! But I'm addicted to COMMics!
