Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, that's hysterical.

It's totally funny after the fact.

No. No. I mean its awful. Truly.

It was only awful in the first few minutes.

Ok, it's hysterical when I picture those two beautiful children going at a box of kitty litter like a pair of puppies. And you catching them and being horrified.

To Olivia's credit--she didn't eat any. Just flipped it around like sand. Owen dumped the entire box on the ground.

Does litter taste like anything? Besides rocks or sand or something? I mean, the dog is going after the cat poo (which is like caviar to them) but what is the kid logic? Sprinkles? Cookie crumbs? Gravel? Mmmmmm sand? Is it salty or something?

I have NO idea. But Owen has been watching Chicken Run and everything he eats is "chicken feed." As I was washing his mouth out this morning, he kept saying, "chicken feed." I assume he was pretending the litter was chicken feed. He's also very tactile and likes gritty stuff in his mouth. Still. GROSS.

OK, I feel like Anya and the skating monkeys. Not that your children are monkeys. It's the illogic that's so funny. And the sheer horror.

No. My children are monkeys. Funny, illogical monkeys.

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

Oooh! You should get a big jar of wheat germ and bribe him to be good with it.

I am rapidly losing the small amount of concentration I had. I don't know how I'll make it through the rest of the day.

ION, it's just started snowing here. Small powdery flakes that look kind of fake.

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

Would it be good or bad to feed Owen some chicken pot pie?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I flove Gina Kolata.

She came down pretty hard on the Good Calories, Bad Calories book that was being discussed in Bitches.

He says, "I don't want to be a pie!"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I need friendly pros/cons advice. I'm looking at the USC Annenberg School of Journalism. They have a Master's with an Online Journalism concentration:

It'll cost me about 50k. I'm 34 years old. Is this craxy? Also, can I send my book as my writing sample? Or is that snotty?

I have almost a whole year to do my GREs, work out the financials (please please can I get a grant?), and apply.

Totally not crazy. I figure I'll be 35 when I finally go to do my graduate degree.
