You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Saw my dad today. His neighbor and Harley riding buddy just found our he's going to be a father. Dad's buddy is 78 years old. His wife is in her late 40's.

Needless to say EVERYONE is in shock. Or Dad will be when he stops laughing. I wonder how John's 44 year old daughter feels about having a new baby brother or sister.

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

Based on this kittie's elegance you might call him: Ellington, Billy (for Strayhorn or Eckstine, plus value added William points), Prez (for Lester Young), Miles, Blue (for Rhapsody in..) or Fitz (for F. Scott).

Sigh. My students had WebAssign homework due at midnight tonight. (It's a web-based homework system, where they type in their answers on a website and it grades it. It's a much better system in concept than in execution.) I got four emails from students with questions about the homework after 11:30.

Skipping to the end of Natter to ask Allyson if she saw TDS last night. Ricky Gervais spent his entire interview talking about bats. It made me think of you and Sam. ("To the left!")

Me too!

Always Anti-fascist!

wrod. Ricky Gervais would think Allyson is the shit. Or whatever way British guys say that.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I was thinking that too! Made me really laugh; it was a great interview, although clearly not what either intended.

Yeah, it was kind of weird, but I'd really rather watch Jon S. be weird with his friends than some celeb being on point on the Tonight Show.

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

Scrappy made me laugh out loud! And it's been a hard night with many tears (not mine, but close), so I needed that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

On Bones, where do I know the Not!Zach of the week from?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
