This week's run of Unshelved has taken a very Buffistaesque turn. The following strip doesn't seem like much, but you must read it to make sense of the rest.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I occasionally make use of the Huggies myself, but there's a big difference between employing extra hygienic measures for oneself and regarding them as a requirement for others. Not to mention announcing that fact to entertainment reporters.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dude! I renewed my drivers license on line this weekend, and I got got my new license in the mail today.
I didn't know CA government could be that efficient.

but there's a big difference between employing extra hygienic measures for oneself and regarding them as a requirement for others.
This is the salient point.

And a whole other level in then telling the press that you require it!

It's AIFG for celebrities! At least Will and Jada seem happy about it, but it would be better to talk about it at Huggies.Org or whatev'.
Obviously, I should have been following Unshelved for a while now!

hip deep in pie
Did you use a lot of cornstarch? (My problem, with apple pies, is an allegiance to juicy apples, which inevitably means the juices overflow the crust and go running everywhere.)
I didn't use cornstarch. I used a little bit of flour and sugar, but that's it.
Now that the pie has cooled in the fridge overnight, the crust on the bottom isn't so bad. Guess what I'm having for breakfast? Yes, pie! It's no worse than a muffin I figure.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, it's been an interesting morning already. Last night - after waiting for a bus for almost an hour - I went back to my office where I, luckily, found a ride home. The Kishwaukee River was already over it's banks. And this morning, I missed the bus, met my friend Liz and we walked toward work. We got to the river and it was up well over it's banks. We could see water sloshing over the sidewalks. Luckily a geology grad student was there taking pictures of the river. He offered us a ride (he's got an suv with good clearance) which we took. He told us that the river was at 15 feet this morning. 10 feet is flood level. Local schools aren't having class today due to flooded streets.
But I'm here now - - I hope I can get home tonight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
No flooding in Evanston that I've seen, but our internet is down. Our whole area is out. Boo!
