To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

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

A bunch of photos of octopus kites: [link]

They're rather pretty.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Those aren't octopus kites, they're flying spaghetti monsters!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I thought they were going to be octopus kitties at first.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'd rather jump out of an airplane.

I've done that!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

But how doe you feel about cats writing books about Popes?

That's not heretical? You learn something new every day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMTFG. I still can't get the HD broadcast channels, since last night. The other ones are fine. So I went through rebooting my cable box with the electronic lady and then again with an actual lady, and still no go. So my options are to wait and see what happens, or set up an appointment. Well, I'm in a seminar all day tomorrow and then out of town, so I guess I'm waiting it out. The real problem is I think now I should set all of the network shows I have to record, to record on the non-HD channels! My life is hard.

Dollhouse casting news:

Did we already know that Amy Acker was going to be on Dollhouse?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

It was an unfounded but thrilling rumor discussed in Spoilers Lite, I think. Is it definitely confirmed now? Keen!

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Joss is the one who leaked it on Whedonesque last thursday or friday so not really very unconfirmed.
