ION, the Cubs allowed 7 homers? WTF?
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Was it here that we were talking about those school programs where cops come in and announce that a classmate has died but it turns out to be a horrible, fake "scare 'em straight" tactic?
I think those cops should be visiting Kat's students to scare the ever loving shit out of them, because those kids actually deserve it.

From Cashmere's link:
"They better have more than a couple of statements that they can't prove," Kryshak said.
Yeah, I think the authorities finding one kidnapped guy chained up naked in your client's house after the other one escaped and alerted them is going to fulfill the burden of proof, Perry Mason. Well, that and your client's statement to police that he knew what he did was wrong.

I canceled with the skeevy recruiter tomorrow, but I still have two interviews Friday, two concerts this weekend, and at least one interview per day M-W next week.
When I'm unemployed, I swear that every week seems like a month.
Starving now. Perhaps I shall make tacos and then watch a documentary on fonts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Helvetica? It's excellent.

Yep. Netflix Instant Watch is somewhat addictive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I'd take advantage of Netflix's Instant watch, if it worked on my computer.(Of course, my connection's probably too slow anyhow)

The day of the Great Robot Revolution draws nearer....
Robots aim to top humans at air hockey
PORTLAND, Ore. — First, a supercomputer beats a chess master. Then, an artificial intelligence program deals defeat to a poker champion. Next: A robot takes on humans in air hockey.
An upgraded robot designed by General Electric Fanuc (GEF) and programmed by Nuvation Research Corp. (San Jose, Calif.) can beat most human air hockey players, its developers claim.
...
"Good air hockey players can score against the robot if they try really really hard. But its pretty obvious that the human is the underdog--for one thing, the audience cheers whenever the human makes a goal," quipped Michael Worry, president and CEO of Nuvation.
What's next? Foosball?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
eep! They had to run a scan on my computer at work because scary pop-ups were taking over and trying to download things. I swear I did not go anywhere bad. Now I fear they'll be watching my internet use.
This happened to a coworker of mine recently. She keeps saying, "I swear it wasn't porn!!!"
OMG, I am full of business dinner. Of course, I suggested the place based on its closeness to a particular subway line for other people, and then they all took cabs, but whatever. It was still delicious and free.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, I had such a relaxing evening at work. They are recarpeting our floor, so we have to empty our desks, file cabinets, etc. But since I'm leaving the firm soon, most of this stuff was going to be tossed soon anyway. Emptying my desk and file cabinet, shredding file after file of documents I will never have to think about again was like getting a massage. I actually feel physically lighter. I love throwing things away.
