Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Don't forget homophobia! They can rehab you out of that too.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Things I really, really didn't know:

In 1989, a British director made a film adaptation of Britten's "War Requiem". It had no spoken dialogue and used only the 1963 recording of the piece as the soundtrack. It starred Laurence Olivier, Nathaniel Parker, Tilda Swinton, and Sean Bean.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Well poo.

Work's not sending me to New Orleans. No K, no cherub, no Saints, no 2nd line party and no Southern Decadence.

I'm really disappointed.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Miss Teen South Carolina got THIRD RUNNER UP in Miss Teen USA?? I don't know why I'm surprised. Pretty and stupid is no way to go though life, Child.

Also, rumors are saying Owen Wilson tried to commit suicide.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

When people talk about finding Jesus, I always want to ask them, "Was he in the last place you looked?"

My favorite on people finding Jesus was always "Well, I guess he didn't see you coming."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

My favorite on people finding Jesus was always "Well, I guess he didn't see you coming."

This was certainly my first thought on hearing that Vick had found Him. I'm not sure how keen He is on being found by a guy who has admitted to strangling dogs with his bare hands but so far has only managed to actually apologize for "bad decisions."

JZ, in the same "apology" speech where he pulled out the Jesus card, he said that what he had done was "immature" and a sign that he needed to "grow up."

Trust my rage

I never thought I would find dog torture and killing under the definition of "immature". I keep hoping that his fellow prisoners will not be impressed by his fame but will mad at his treatment of animals.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I can't think about Michael Vick. I want to strangle him with my bare hands. Whether or not you are the kind of person who treats animals like family, I don't think anyone could believe that a "good guy" would do that to a living being. It seems not so far removed from children who become serial killers killing animals.

I think I might have a tapeworm! Seriously, yesterday I was in a situation where I was hungry and couldn't eat from about 9 am - 4 pm, and I was so hungry I almost killed people. When I got home, I ate a sandwhich, and a couple of hours later I had a huge dinner (small steak, cauliflower, 2 ears of corn, potatoes, and tomato salad). This morning I woke up ravenous again, and I had yogurt with fresh peaches cut up in in and a bagel with chive cream cheese. 1 hour ago for lunch I had a the same thing I had for dinner last night minus the tomato salad and I am still hungry. Like, my stomach is growling and I have a horrible headache hungry.
