I meant to say that those kids are complete fuckos, Kat. They deserve every bit of punishment the campus police and school authorities can come up with. Grrrr.
As a big fan of Ace of Cakes, am now jealous of lisah's seeing Mary Alice. That woman is so cool, and handles that office wonderfully.
Still have a bit of a headache (combined with cramps, it's all so great! Not really), but a potential office screwup ended up being resolved in Not My Screwup, which is mostly good. Instead, it's Kentucky's, which they are handling by sending us what we paid them for six weeks before the subscription ran out, but which they didn't think we had renewed in time until I pointed out the whole "six-weeks-early" thing. Fie on them.
Did it look something like this? [link]
hahaha...Evil Hate Monkey is much more Evil. And perverted.
They are actually headed up to NY to do a bunch of shows. I HIGHLY encourage NY-ers to check them out.
lisah, it sounds like you live next door to PeeWee's Playhouse. And I mean that in a very good way.
Totally.

I've been reading about this for a while - I'd

go if I was still in SF. Triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine! Electro-mechanical analog torpedo fire-control computer!
From the Rove story:
Rove's lawyer cited a letter from the Justice Department saying Rove is "constitutionally immune from compelled congressional testimony."
Interesting, as I was unaware that even the President himself could claim to be immune to formal summons to appear before Congress. I hope this goes to criminal prosecution, with a sentencing date of January 10.
Awesome customized hearse: [link]
A blogger sez:
In his gallery there are several dozen gems, especially the incredible Kargoyle. It's a hearse that's been chopped, lowered, painted purple, and most appropriately, it was given suicide doors.
We just had a going away party, and why god why did they have queso and chips?!? Now I am busting out of my clothes. And I still have to go to dinner with coworkers!
My DH is AWESOME, Part 195: When I was in high school, I worked near an art store. they had a collection of Polish Cyrk poster, which I fell in love with and which were way too expensive for me. I used to go over there on a regular basis just to look at them.
The Polish Goverment hired artists to design posters for the State Circus, posters which had to be metaphorical rather than straighforward--and most of them are amazing. Here's some info about them. [link] I have always wanted one and have mentioned them to the DH and we looked at sites periodically for the last few years.
Guess what I am getting for my birthday? This one, which has long been one of my faves: [link]
That's such a cool thing -- and an awesome poster. Also an awesome DH, but we knew that!
