More from Gawker on Bob Butler, FYI: [link]
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
That's comming up on my NPR in just a few.
ETA: I was just coming in here to post it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
That's a great video. Must be stucco?
That's my guess. Note that the kitty climbs on a corner, allowing it to exert some pressure on the wall surfaces.

I can't see the clip, but my family has a cat who climbed walls for the longest time. Pretty smooth plaster surface over sheetrock, too. She just has really needle sharp claws, is lightweight and very, very strong.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My cat likes to climb up the screen door leading out to the balcony, and when she gets near the top she just hangs there for a few minutes, then remembers how to get back down.

My favorite Butler comment is
"Is this going to be on the final?"

Punishingly Intricate
"Is this going to be on the final?"
BWAH!
I wish I was still in touch with my favorite professor from writer school so I could talk to him about this. I'd love to hear his unfiltered take on it.

The NPR story was as expected. I was not surprised to hear that Dewberry did not approve of the text of the email in advance.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I do still think that Dana looks like a hobbit.
Whereas I have completely forgotten I used that picture on WX until someone mentions it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She looks like a lightpost to me.
