We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I feel like I should get points when I'm in the right country, even when I'm on the wrong side of the country.

I agree!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also big: Canada and Australia.

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

yes, but there is a vast difference between the standards for human testing and animal testing. In order to get to human testing stage, there are certain requirements that I suspect they are having trouble meeting without animal testing. Even if people volunteered to be tested, they couldn't do it.

I get that. And I believe it -- but its stupid that an actual substance, say, "no stingy 1" can't be accepted as safe at a certain level by virtue of the 40,000 products that its already in.

I just missed qualifying for level 11. Level 9 is when I started to be off on the countries.

Of course, most of that country knowledge comes from the Geography Challenge that someone linked to eons ago: [link]

Trust my rage

I took my car into to be fixed (left over accident problem) today. They promised it would be fast but it's the end of the day and they had to take the car somewhere else because they don't know what's wrong. That's fine but I'm kicking myself because I left Ellie's carseat in the car (because I trusted them).

I have a friend who will take me to get the car seat but she wants to go to the post office first. All this means that Iwill be rather late picking up Ellie and I feel almost panicky about that. Weird - I know she 's safe...why is this bugging me so much. (Well, because I'm a total control freak who hates being late, but still...)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Kat, you are an amazing, remarkably, kick-ass mom.

ION, I've found our USB cable for the digital camera and the battery charger. Somehow, they ended up in the box with the hats, scarves and mittens.
