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

Okay, so I'm trying to troubleshoot this thing? And when I try to add an order number, it says it already exists. When I try to modify the order number, it says it doesn't exist. Conundrum!
I think I shall go smoke now before I try to reach through my computer monitor and rend things with my bare hands.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

1860 made me raise an eyebrow too. I didn't know they changed it. I was a National Merit Scholar at 1550? 1560? 1580? Something. I had perfect on Language section and I missed either one or two on the math section.
Weather just turned nast. I'm going to see the pirate movie after work with Mr. Jane. We have a date!
Also, apparently a group of girls who mostly hang out with my best friend, but who I know well enough have decided Happy Hour at the Grapevine should be a Friday ritual. It's officially a thing as of tomorrow when my best friend won't be there. I get to hostess and get a whole new group of friends! Yay!

I'd love to see a beer-can Buddha. The sacred is in every ordinary thing; what better way to demonstrate that than by creating things that reflect the sacred out of the commonest and most base objects.
There's a famous series of paintings depicting one man's development through buddhism that starts with him being a lush and wandering of to town with a wineskin slung over his shoulder. He goes through several stages of study and enlightenment which I don't really remember and end up in the last picture going off to town with a wineskin slung over his shoulder because the last step is continuing to live in the world with your enlightenment not making a big bubble around you.
Way to go K-Bug!

K-Bug is supposed to get detailed score information in the mail soon. She also just took 3 AP tests, not sure when those results come in. Next week she takes her SAT Subject tests.
I don't even remember my own SAT score.

All this new-fangled SAT stuff is bizarre-o.
Unrelatedly, does bitters need to be refrigerated?

I may have wrestled stupid order number problem into submission. I utter a provisional woot while I wait to hear back from the user.
