Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Happy birthday brenda!

If you don't want the fishing cat, can I have it?

So when do we find out it was somehow all your fault?

Oh, good, someone else said it.

Remember that rage we were talking about earlier? I'm feeling it right now. I really hate when higher-ups make arbitrary decisions. My boss has decreed that we must all be here on campus tomorrow, despite the fact that we're just working on narrative comments. I was really looking forward to sleeping in and avoiding my hellish commute before spending 10 hours writing comments tomorrow. Now I have to be here. Grrrrrr!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Timelies!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, KATEP!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BRENDA!!

Count me in on the all-cranky all the time list. Grrrr.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Here is a funny cartoon related to hamsters and weapons, TURN YOUR HAMSTER INTO A FIGHTING MACHINE:

[link]

It is NOT related to ita's links or goatse, and no real hamsters were harmed in the making of it either. I particularly like the look on the face of the hamster in the middle of the page....

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

Oddly, I'm not especially ragey. I do get frustrated (durable medical equipment company and insurance company, I'm looking at both of you), but even then it isn't rage. It's just resignation at the stupidity of bureaucracy.

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

TURN YOUR HAMSTER INTO A FIGHTING MACHINE:

That whole thing is a pretty funny parody of D.I.Y. project stuff. Note the safety warnings and "troubleshooting" sections....

Also you can relieve your rage by picturing yourself stabbing the people who are making you angry with your fighting hamster!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am not angry with my fighting hamster.

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

Personally, I couldn't fathom anything worse than goatse.

Not having seen it, only having read a description, I find it hard to believe that's any worse than the "Surfing Bird" sequence in PINK FLAMINGOES, which I was unfortunate enough to see (where a talented gent seems to be - ahem - "lip" syncing as SB plays on the soundtrack ). Without having seen (and having no plans to see) either ita's recent link or "tub girl", both of those gross me out considerably more, at least conceptually. Maybe the execution makes it less so, but I'm not going to do the comparisons.
