My only excuse is that I saw "The Boy From Oz" on Broadway. Crappy show. Totally worth it.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Continued thoughts and prayers for you, your family, and your niece, Scrappy. Maybe this will be the KITA she needs to complete her sobriety?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Exciting/disgusting fact I have learned: the father of the science of modern color-blindness, John Dalton, defined the condition in 1798 because he himself was not seeing colors properly.
He was definitively diagnosed as red/green color-blind (deuteranopic) 150 years later, because they did a DNA test on his preserved eyeball. WTF!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Curious what the people behind the subprime mortgage mess are like?
CEO of subprime mortgage broker fined $29,000 for dropping 73 f-bombs during deposition
Oh, rubbish. This guy being a dick has nothing to do with the economics of the credit crunch.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
However, for years and years and years I thought they were saying "kangaroo David" instead of "Jai guru deva om", so it is stuck in my head that way.
"Someday monkey play piano song...play piano song..."
Different song, but...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Someday monkey play piano song...play piano song..."
I'm still waiting for that day.
I mean, if cats can play the piano....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh crap, scrappy. I'll continue to hold your niece (and the rest of you) in my thoughts.
In a 2-1 vote, a Commission on Human Relations panel found that two signs at Geno's Steaks telling customers, "This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,'" do not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance.
I'm just going to say that "one wit whiz" is barely English, anyway.

This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH'
This is English: When writing instructions, please don't use inverted commas for emphasis.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Maybe 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH' is the name of their most popular dish.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So what are folks up to this weekend? I know it's a day early, but I'm bored and figured I'd try to kick start a conversation.
I'm going up to Maine, and my brother his wife and I are taking our Mother out for Easter dinner here: [link]
We've been doing this the last couple of years. I love this place. They have the most amazing 72-Layer Hand-Cut Cream Cheese Biscuits. Unfortunately, getting these before the meal can seriously fill you up.
