When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

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 just had a random thought - that I should take violin lessons. I've had this random thought before.

Hmmm.... where can one rent a violin, and for how much?

eta: Ooh. On eBay they have cheap "student" violins for $49....

eta²: Oh, student ones are smaller. But there are regular ones that are cheap too...

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

The Tribune's decisions then were driven by outrage at inept and corrupt business and political leaders.

Dang. That's a hell of a lot stronger than the Post's "but we still kinda like you anyway, John McCain!"

Loved the zoo baby pictures. I think - unusually enough - that the grown-up red pandas are cuter than the babies ... at least until they have their eyes open.

That's probably for the best, as adult red pandas rival samoyed puppies in cuteness... if the babies were cuter the sight of them might kill the zookeepers that are supposed to be feeding them.

“Not dead yet!”

True dat. They kill me ded. Mooshu's breed (Eurasier) had Sammy bred into them in the sixties for temperament-- they also got the eyes.

They almost don't look real

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Red panda. What you don't see are the slightly pigeon-toed black paws and the big, fluffy, ringed tail (red and cream).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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

I also asked my bosses - one said he thinks he has a few of those books, and if he doesn't he'll give a donation.

So, Paypal or check?

tommyrot's boss is made of win.

My dad used to have a copy of Brave New World floating around someplace; I can check this weekend. And I've got a huge box of baby clothes that need to head Kat-ward anyway, so it'll be easy to toss a book in as well.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Omg I was so far behind. I am taking a wee break from obsessive political following. Kat, I will check around my hood for books.

Congrats bt.

We are headed to "boo at the zoo" this weekend. Mac is excited to dress up, see bats and birds of prey, and get candy. I am excited to see red pandas.

Kat, we have a ton of classics on campus for the Nidorf kids and they are not all that interested in them. I'll check to see what we have (I'll be there on Monday).
