Punishingly Intricate

I would love circus school, but I have no discernible circus skills.

DUDE! That is so not true! I've seen video of you back flipping. Maybe it's not something you can do right now but you could relearn it (at circus school!)

Anyway, I can learn trapeze tricks pretty much anyone can. Especially if you've done some kind of core building exercising (like, yoga)!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

home sick - much altered voice due to the sick. I think back to sleep.

the circus seems like too much work. seriously. plus the road. you know, the road ain't no place to start a family.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

you know, the road ain't no place to start a family.

Heh.

In news that's not about circus school (...or is it?), I can't get "Bye Bye Bye" out of my head, and I'm about to start jumping up and down.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I can't get My Chemical Romance's "Teenagers" out of my head, and it has been there since Sunday. Also, I do not recommend googling mouse disposal.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Jesse's earworm has now started my own of "Bye, Bye Love," specifically the Simon & Garfunkel version I was listening to on my car ride Saturday. If I'm lucky, it'll morph into the version from All That Jazz, as sung by Roy Scheider and Ben Vereen. Oooo, there it goes!

I'm through with romance
I'm through with love
[Oh, yeah!]
I'm through with countin'
The stars above
[Forget the stars!]
And here's the reason
That he's so free
His lovin' baby
She's through with me...

I can't even.

Way late to the ND drive-naming party, but Iain Banks is my favourite contemporary SF namer of ships.

Now, his ships are generally hyper-intelligent AIs who name themselves and tend to have odd senses of humour (by our standards).

I think my favourite is the Rapid Offensive Unit "Frank Exchange Of Views" (Psychopath Class)

not your mom's socks.

Trader Joe's Pad Thai Noodles & Sauce is kind of nasty-tasting.

Coding and Sleeping

ponders buying Oblivion, whatever it may be, and learning to play it just to listen to Sean Bean's voice

It's a computer game of the fantasy role-playing variety. A pretty nifty one too IMO. Probably not the best Sean Bean voice fix though. I suppose you just keep talking to the dude he voice acts for, but that would get awfully repetitive really quick.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

I've never been much of a computer gamer, aside from Tetris and a brief obsession with Civilization. Too little hand-eye coordination and too little patience--or maybe just not the right kind of patience.

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

Futurama Is Back! Grab a Can of Slurm and Settle In

Spoilery. My fave bit is that in the future the most popular TV show will be Everybody Loves Hypnotoad and the DVD release of the new season will have a full episode of this show.
