I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I meeting-makered in a meeting with Grace. That's something I need to do more often during the day.

What does that mean?? All I can think of is "prepare to meet your maker"!!

George Pelecanos(apparently) spent his twenties getting high and selling appliances.(Sometimes at the very same moment.) This is my very favorite making of a best-seller ever.

And then he wrote about people doing exactly that! And could barely get published in the US for years.

I think one of my dream jobs would involve small kids. Shocking, no? But there have been several, and there will be several more, I'm sure. I don't hang too much on them except when I actually try to work towards them. Knowing has never been half my battle; acting has been 3/4.

It's been increasingly difficult to find the particular insulin and needles I use the past couple months. I don't know if there is a supply issue, or my timing is just wrong. Tonight, safeway manage to not have BOTH the insulin and needles. Sheesh.

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

I think my dream job would be teaching cats to use killer robots.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

They already know, Tom.

But...but...no opposable thumbs! How do they control robots?

Hey, the roomba has a remote with a directional wheel. No thumbs needed!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

So the roomba is really an instrument in the cats' world domination plan?

Man, they really are devious.

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

But...but...no opposable thumbs! How do they control robots?

What do you think all the batting around of mice/tinfoil balls/jewelry is practice for??

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

Dude, my cat scares the bejeesus out of herself while running after a toy mouse and knocking over a coffee mug. I am SO not worried about world domination. Dumb as a rock.
