Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

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

Fish that Live in Trees

Scientists were startled last month when they discovered that mangrove killifish, a fish native to Florida, Central America and the Caribbean, spend weeks of the year living in the rotten branches of trees, fully out of the water. The fish typically live in pools of water made by the roots of mangrove trees. When those pools dry up, however, the fish "flop their way" into rotten branches, using tunnels dug out by insects. There they line up end to end with one another and wait out waterier pastures.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

THIS is what I've been saying about Philly all along. Poor ugly post-apocalyptic city.

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

Farley pointed out the results don't mean people in Philadelphia are ugly or the city is a bad place to visit

Mighty white of him.

Huh. Haven't used that expression in a while. Feels strange.

I'm much better on the second list than the first.

I saw "paddle a canoe" and thought "Who couldn't do that?", but then I remembered endless seasons of Survivor and felt very proud of myself.

Except at least one of these points is true enough in my opinion. And since both are opinions...

I hope the scary falling stops, ita. Eek.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Toothbrush story is ick. My MiL said she got a button out of Owen's nose a few weeks ago--he snotted it out during a crying jag. Never realized it was up there.

On the manliness list, never rescued a boater, never performed CPR or hooked up an HDTV. Done everything else.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

There was a news story a while ago - a year? - about a guy who was using a nail gun and, yup, shot a nail up his nose. If I remember correctly, he went into the ER, was x-rayed, and they removed the nail with minimal damage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We've reached the time of year when it's kind of chilly outside, but the A/C is still on in the buildings.

I hate this time of year.

I may not be very manly, but I'm pretty sure I could survive a zombie apocalypse. Suck on that, Popular Mechanics!
