Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, I've got a hate for the USPS, even though the supervisor was indignant on my behalf. Pretty sure my brother's present to me was also stolen, though I didn't pursue that because life got crazy and I was travelling. My parents mail is routinely 7-10 days late. It takes 3 days for a letter from LA to get to me. 2 weeks to LC. It is so bad, Congresscritters got involved and the USPS Inspector General (I think?) was threatening to turn the entire city of LC's delivery service over to the El Paso, TX branch, an hour away.
When it works? It really does. It's kind of amazing. But when it doesn't, they really exemplify suckitude. They once shredded a certified delivery box of my stuff when I was in college. All that survived was a book, that had been wrapped in plastic and wrapping paper WITHIN the box. And of course, the $50 tucked inside was gone too.
The Company Store has got itself a repeat customer, though (my comforters are from them to begin with and I LOVE them.) I honestly planned to write it off, and wait to get over my disappointment before ordering again. Hell, I wasn't going to reorder, just give up. But now? I'll be sure to look to them when needing stuff they carry. I know that's totally their plan, and you know what? I'm fine with that. I'm all about rewarding good customer service (and I've got insane high standards about how that is defined. I got AWESOME customer service.) I'll just request special handling so my local USPS can't fuck it up. Lesson learned.

Scrappy, I just sent that to my brother.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"America's Best-Known Hockey Mom" drops the puck at a Flyers game, and is booed loudly enough to drown out both the music and the anouncer, from the time they call her name to the time the puck is safely in the hands (err, sticks) of the players: [link]
The comments I've seen keep saying things like "what did they expect -- Philly is 2-1 Dem!" I'm thinking something more like "have they met Philadelphia sports fans?"

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

I wonder if there is a prayer for that...
"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindus, Buddhists, Moslems, or Flyers — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons,"

I love the fact that both the Rangers and the Flyers players look like they want to laugh.
Poor kid, though.

OH! I got to spend time with ita, and to buy a Cat in the Hat hat. AND I also got to have lots of sushi and some super super super yummy cookies from Diddy Reese.
So, a good afternoon in other words.

Oh geez, I'm going to have to feel sorry for Palin now.
Well, just a little.

I feel more sorry for her kids witnessing that. Her, NSM. She signed up for it.
