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

But the documentary was really convincing. They used phrases like "it was reported" and "some have theorized" without ever saying what the sources were of the info and theories. So that means they're really confident in their sources, right?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Throw in Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale and I'm sold.

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

So, due to how hectic Thursday evening became, I didn't get pictures of my collage-wrapped present. However, our chapter's incoming president blogged about the gift exchange, and you can catch a glimpse of it in the top picture. It's right under the, ahem, giant cock: [link]

You could come over and do our dishes tonight while you're sleepless. You'd be like our li'l dishwashing elf! Plus the drive up and down I-5 will be very relaxing.

Leaving for the airport in 4 hours. Should probably think about sleeping soon.

Quiz: Ponying up an extra hundred and some bucks to upgrade to First Class was a reasonable decision because:

a) flight still cheaper than the direct flight I talked myself out of
b) since I may be rushed with having to return a rental car and shuttle out to the airport, the reduced time required for check-in and security that comes with FC status is simply practical
c) if O'Hare weather cancellations and delays are still going on, I might have a better chance of actually getting out as a VIP

or

d) I deserve it, dammit

(Hint: it ain't D)

or e) if you get trapped on the runway at O'Hare, it's much more pleasant to be trapped in first class.

I'll go with f -- my limited experience with first class upgrades says that you arrive in much better shape, muscle-wise and mental-wise. I suspect the air is better in that part of the cabin, too.

(That doesn't stop me from hating the people sprawled in first class as I make my way back to the cattle pens, though. I always feel like announcing loudly that the first ten rows in the aircraft have the lowest survival rates in crashes.)

Yesterday, I found out that Kickass Cupcakes bakes a batch of vegan cupcakes every day! I foresee more frequent expeditions to Davis Square in my future, also because When Pigs Fly has opened a bakery outlet practically next door....
