I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

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

Everybody must get stoned....

So this guy decided to follow all 700 (or so) rules in the Bible, and then write a book about it. This bit from a Newsweek article amused me:

...and then there were the rules that were hard to do in modern life, like stoning adulterers. But I did manage to fulfill that one. What happened was, I was in the park, dressed in my white garb, and this man in his 70s came over and asked what I was doing. I explained I was trying to follow every rule in the Bible as literally as possible, including growing my beard, not mixing fibers, stoning adulterers, and he said, “I’m an adulterer, are you going to stone me?” I said, “Yeah that would be great.”

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

I just called the cab company to report service above and beyond. Good on him.

Congrats, paperdol!

Sure, sara. Where can I send you today?

Okay, naptime.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I posted something about it in Technology, but you all are aware that Stephen Fry is blogging, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I heard that book was awesome.

ita, to where you are now.

I just need to sit down, call the boarding place, put in for time off, try not to freak out over my job being weird, and fight with the internets to buy a ticket that doesn't have me sleeping in airports. I can do it, I just get strangely ridic about planning.

It's pouring outside. Very suddenly. I was seeing the moon 7 minutes ago. Weird.

Ugly Betty: I KNEW that was coming!! I was kinda disappointed in them at first and then stuff started adding up. Sad for the actor, but it needed to happen.

Unfortunately there's not much I can help you with, dear.

I know. I just wish I could outsource the stuff that I get stupid over. I need another me without the neuroses.

Thunder! Lightening! More rain than we've seen in..a long time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You shared a bed with your BF at home, Cash? I so don't come from that accepting a family.

When my sister graduated college she did an internship in another city. Sister's boyfriend was living in a horrible place so my mother gave him my sister's room. When Sister got home from the internship she moved into her room too.

Cute, or freaky?

I vote 'freaky.'
