Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And now, of course, I have to go grade. Wish me be-more-stubborn-than-the-silly-mistakes, please!

(Oh, and could somebody please say "hello" to post # 17 for me? Thanks!)

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 I saw a sign that said:

DEAF
CHILDREN
DRIVE
CAREFULLY

and I'm thinking, even if deaf children drive carefully, should they even be allowed to drive?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I have finished my big paper project thing for this course. I need to journal just a bit more, and then find the haikus I wrote, so they can be put in the yearbook.

Dog is my co-pilot.

We may try acupuncture (!) to deal with Teddy's constipation.

Fred Pete, all of my dogs (4 at present and 2 previous) have benefitted from veterinary acupuncture. Hope it helps Teddy!

Oh, cool site:

Plug in an address and it will quantify how walk-friendly a neighborhood it is (i.e. lots of destinations) 0 being bad and 100 being super-convenient. My current house gets a 78, my childhood home an 18! (Which I thought was horribly isolated and boring AND I WAS RIGHT).

It also has a list of 'celebrity addresses' and Fenway Park gets a 97, whereas Bush's Crawford ranch gets a 0....
