Especially funny for those with cats: Kitchen-Floor Conflict Intensifies As Rival House Cats Claim Same Empty Bag
...
The bag, a brown paper grocery bag from Stop & Shop with no prior claims of cat ownership attached to it, became the center of a wide-scale power play when Boswell seized control of its highly contested interior, and occupied the disputed area for approximately 30 seconds. Following immediate Johnsonian reprisals, Boswell unleashed a barrage of swats, but failed to secure a position in the bag.
Reports from the ground indicated that Johnson, once in possession of the perimeter region up to the cat dish, was forced in the early afternoon to retreat to the green rug zone, where he licked his paws with apparent disinterest for an estimated 10 minutes. Without warning, Johnson then launched a full-frontal assault on Boswell's forces, pouncing from behind and eventually chasing his rival all the way to the bathroom sink. The heavy leaping and grappling was broken only by periods of intense mutual licking. At one point, the conflict escalated into full-fledged upside-down kicking of each other in the face before Boswell was distracted by an errant ball rolling across the floor, bringing the factions to an uneasy standstill.
Happy birthday, Katie! I raise my glass to you.
Thanks for the slide show, tommy. I've had my eye on Agyness for a while but I'm glad to see she's inspiring a full on trend.
Juliana! You should do it. I love it when you're platinum blonde.
Yesterday I had Buffistas on the brain. As I wandered from comic book store to comic book store, I couldn't help but think how much they would make Scola smile. And Corwood and billytea came to mind as I discussed the merits of various euro games at this awesome game store I found. And then on my way to buy Matilda a super-chic new dress, I discovered that Paris now has Lush! Truly a Buffistas-in-Paris sort of day.
Awww. Matilda is so much better dressed than the rest of us.
I took the car into the shop to get the flat fixed and because I wasn't mentally prepared to say, "No, just fix the flat" I'm on the hook for a full check up, oil change, air filter. Stupid stupid stupid. I need to go into that situation with a mental script prepared but I was just feeling ragged about a 90 minute r/t commute with Matilda in the rain.
Feh on me.
Happy Birthday, Katie!!
Ooh, S2 Dexter was better than S1? Be still, my heart. Because I loved S1.
Feeling much better today, which is good, because it's back to work tomorrow. I may even venture out and get some copies made and mail some stuff out. Dream big, right?

In my pants!
Bah. A customer is talking to the owner of the coffee shop I'm in at the moment. He's a global warming denier. He keeps on saying stuff like, "How do we know what conditions in the world were hundreds or thousands of years ago?" So he's basically saying there's no evidence for it. Plus he says doing something about it would cost too much.
I should just ignore the conversation, but I can't. But I think it'd be rude to butt in. Plus I'm eating.
Well, I picked a hell of a time to color my blonde hair brown....
I was just reading an article in Vogue yesterday (granted, from a couple months ago Vogue) that brown is all the rage now. Even Agyness Deyn went brown a little while back. Though promptly came back to blonde. According to the article. I don't follow her closely or anything.

I had a similar experience! It was very distracting.
It's the offline version of yesterday's xkcd comic.

Oh, I know this one! Ice cores and tree rings.
