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.

Compassionately intolerant

How bittersweet. And courageous of Engel to not simply fold inward and give up the spark that fueled his writing. Bless him.

When my book-loving, television never-watching great aunt began her process toward death, the very first thing to go was her vision. That seemed such an insult.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I think people who study this sort of thing give waaaaaaaaaay more weight to the "friend" label on Facebook/LJ/MySpace than it deserves. It's used to make the social networking software seem more personal, but I've got plenty of people on my LJ friendslist who aren't technically my friends - some of them aren't even people.

I have 4 (out of 45) Facebook friends I haven't met F2F. 3 are Buffistas and 1 is someone who friended me through a mutual college friend.

For lunch I had a giant vat of potato leek soup. It was good. Of course, I now recall that I was going to defrost some chicken for dinner. Didn't take the chicken out of the freezer. Dinner will probably be more potato leek soup, then.

Well, then

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

I disagree with that title ("10 Things You Might’ve Been Better Off Not Knowing About Your Body") - it was cool to learn those things (although some I knew).

But there are definitely some things in there I can imagine people wishing they never knew. Hence, the "might've".

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

Way cool kitchen scale. Almost, but cool as remote-controlled laser combat cars.

So far, for me, friend on facebook means just about that. There's little enough posted that there's no point even reading the little if I don't care. LJ and Myspace are blogs and the next stage in the evolution of the personal web page (remember the /~ days?). Not the same thing in terms of consuming and publishing.

Oh yeah - I should have noted I was speaking for myself.

Oh, the stabby knife holder now comes in pink! That would be perfect for my kitchen!

One of the folksy, “gosh durnit, that president sure is a funny feller” anecdotes in Robert Draper’s new book about George W. Bush, Dead Certain, is that Dubya is a big fan of Austin Powers and in particular, the character of Dr. Evil, imitating him often along the corridors of the White House.

Does this mean Bush will get a hairless cat?
