Huh. We just had an earthquake.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

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
I think the USPS eventually got around to using a roadname and number.
Many places didn't have names and numbers until 911 went in.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
There is vegan worcestershire. You can get it at Whole Foods. I think the brand I've used is Annie's, but there were one or two other brands, too.
I've got a recipe for Caribbean Jerk Tofu that's really good, but it's not really simple -- it has about 7 or 8 different spices in it, plus brown vinegar and orange juice and a bit of sugar and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting now.
I've also tried cutting the tofu into cubes, shaking in a bag with some cornmeal and salt and spices, and then pan-frying. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but good.

All of my favorite towels are in the dryer downstairs so it's either wait for them to be dry or break out the less-favored towels so I can be clean for class this morning. Dilemmas!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. We just had an earthquake.
I heard that on the news! Crazy.
Also, anyone with Time Warner cable anywhere can apparently watch our New York 1 people doing Pope coverage. But our beloved Pat Kiernan is on an alternate channel doing the regular news, so you're out of luck there, I guess.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Vladimir Putin dumped his wife and is planning to marry an Olympic gymnast half his age. 24-year-old Kabaeva was known for her "extreme natural flexibility" - she won a gold in the all-around at the 2004 Athens Olympics - but is now retired from gymnastics and has been elected to the Russian parliament...as a representative of Putin's party.

Huh. And I got called into work early today, and my afternoon would have been free.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I think the quotes around flexibility utterly skeeve me out.
