It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Happy Birthday Lillian!

I am requesting a do-over on my supposedly relaxing Sunday. I have been foiled at my attempts to relax at every turn. Foiled!

Happiest birthday to the Lilybean and them what birthed her!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Lilybean is three? Wow!

I think Uncle Tupelo had a photo of this sign on an album cover. [link]

edit- Wikipedia is awsome:

The song "Whiskey Bottle," by Uncle Tupelo, is rumored to be about the city of Columbia as it makes specific reference to a sign which used be displayed on a Columbia tackle shop sign which read, "Liquor, Guns, and Ammo." The sign is now displayed at the downtown location of Shakespeare's pizzeria.

Yep. My college town is know for Shakespeare's Pizza, "Liquor, Guns & Ammo", and as the place where Husker Du broke up.

@@ Christopher Hitchens explains why he told Andrew Sullivan, "Don't be such a lesbian":

"Don't know what came over me: the dear boy did suddenly seem extremely sapphic, yet I think my intuitions must have been scrambled all the same, since what I was actually thinking was: 'Andrew really wants to have Barack Obama's fucking child'. Clearly some confusion of categories on my part."

I'm honestly not too fond of either Hitchens or Sullivan, but I generally just find Sullivan annoying, while Hitchens seems to be actively trying to be insulting.
