Timelies all!
Congrats billytea!
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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?

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.

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).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Guess which is the latest entity to dis Sarah Palin. Go on, guess....
Bush Administration Contacts Obama, McCain, Biden On Iraq Troop Deal — But Snubs Palin
eta:
In today’s State Department briefing, reporters got a chuckle out of Palin being left out:
Q: You called Senator Biden, you called McCain. Did you also call Governor Palin?
McCORMACK: No. If you hadn’t noticed, she’s a governor. Not a senator or a congressman.
Q: She’s a vice presidential candidate.
McCORMACK: Right.
Q: She also has extensive foreign affairs experience. (LAUGHTER)
McCORMACK: Right. I explained to you the reasoning behind the phone call.
Q: Maybe if this has to do with Russia, you would have called her.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I just had a random thought - that I should take violin lessons. I've had this random thought before.
I've had this thought, too. When I was in 7th grade I signed up for orchestra, with the idea of learning the violin. But they cut the class at the last minute and I got shoved into band. Not that there's anything wrong with trumpet, but it's not a violin.
Maybe I should try it now.

I was surprised at how cheap violins were on eBay. I don't need one that sounds amazing, at least not right away when I'm learning. I also found cheap electric violins, which would allow me to mess around without annoying neighbors (by using headphones).
I used to think learning violin would be extremely hard because they're fretless. Now that's something that fascinates me about them.
