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

Ok, that couch cracked me up.

I'd love to have it in slightly less-obvious colors so people sitting in it would catch on slowly.

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

I spent all morning writing perl code to analyze some log files, and when I finally ran it, a pattern emerged that nobody expected. I love it when something like that happens.

Eyeball transplantation gives me heebiejeebies. Eyes in a box? shudder. ALSO the poster for the The Eye also freak me out.

Allyson, Los Feliz is too far. I was thinking somewhere in that local district? I have a list of elementary schools. I should send letters and a resume next week.

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

ALSO the poster for the The Eye also freak me out.

The first time I saw it it freaked me out. I was on a train and caught the poster out of the corner of my eye. I was all WTF? for a moment.

One of our vows for the year is that if we can't pay cash, we're not going to buy it unless it's a dire necessity, with a pretty strict definition of "dire."

Supposedly people spend about 15% less overall when they use cash. Not using credit cards is the single best thing I've ever done for my budget (and diet).

Plus, it was incredible to spend January not paying off Christmas bills.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Plus, it was incredible to spend January not paying off Christmas bills.

I've gone cash-only for Christmas gifts for the past few years, and it's just wonderful. There's no stress when January bills roll around, because they're exactly the same as they always are.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

A world of yes! Totally ick-inducing.

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

I gotta check out Catalog Choice.

I'm officially doing to much stuff at once. Somehow I'm reorganising bedroom storage space while cranking through the inbox at work.
