As long as they tip (and vote), the purity of their motives doesn't interest me much.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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

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

Despite the apparent danger, the trainers are never at risk. They've found that in the water people and tigers are on a more equal footing
Good to know.
A tiger... in Africa?!?
No, in the pool.

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

Oh lord. Devi ripped off one of her claws. Just a little pink stump. No idea when she did this, probably in the last week. I'll keep an eye on it.
Sigh.
I need a frequent shopper card for the vets.

How much does it cost to go to Vet School?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh no! poor Devi!
Interestingly, I did a little survey of the people I work with to see what they think I should do with my life, and 3 of them said I should be a vet! But I don't think I could take the animal death/suffering. The others thought I should so into marketing!?!

Skipping ahead to say thank you for the birthday wishes and happy belated birthday to Cash and Matt.
More when I've caught up at work and here.
Apologies to Buffistas (and other nice people I know) living there, but there's always Utah to retreat to.
In the meantime, I'm happy to report that very few McCain/Palin signs were spotted in either Utah or Arizona. In Utah we saw tons of Obama signs. Tons. And not just in the crunchy boho places.

Timelies!
All of the grilled cheese talk prompted me to buy bread, cheese and a frying pan this weekend.
Yesterday I failed the "remove the paper between the slices before you make the sandwich" test. Tonight's was more successful.
I'm not entirely happy with my cheese choice though. It is supposed to be sharp chedder but i isn't sharp or cheddery enough for me.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The status is NOT quo.
Why don’t I travel everywhere by gothed-out hot air balloon? Why am I not accompanied by a perpetual Danny Elfman-penned soundtrack? Why am I not greeted everywhere I go by women in fanciful costumes twirling fiery…thingies…to say nothing of being greeted with open arms by Winona Ryder?
I ask myself these questions ALL THE TIME. Well, not the one about Winona Ryder.
Give it time, Jilli darling, give it time.
Welcome back, Megan! I can't wait to see pictures. (Hint hint.)
I just spent an hour reviewing grammar and mechanics with a ninth grader. We started out just talking about comma splice errors and semicolon use, but through the course of the discussion, we worked our way backwards until I was redefining subject/predicate and parts of speech. This is the problem with grammar. You start picking at the little frayed end, and the whole damn sweater unravels. Then you realize that you don't remember how to knit.
