I'm watching last night's Colbert, and loving Yo-Yo Ma more than ever. I'm also amused that they went to commercial saying they'd be back with a song for "Joe the Truck Driver," and he came back playing some weird stuff with a bagpipe AND an accordian! Good times.
Mal: How come you didn't turn on me, Jayne? Jayne: Money wasn't good enough. Mal: What happens when it is? Jayne: Well... that'll be an interesting day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Just wait until their fancy electronics interrupt an important task to frantically wash its back. Or butt.
I bet the robot cats will eventually rebel, and send a terminator kitty back in time to kill the leader of the doggy resistance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, Aurelia!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Thanks!
The Berry Weiss is nummy. The dark is very good too, but not quite so dessert like.

Yet another article leaves me without words to respond....
"We did not write this letter to scare you," the Republican Party of Pennsylvania assures 75,000 in-state Jewish voters in an e-mail sent out Oct. 23. But "in the 5,769 years of our people, there has never been a more important time for us to take pro-active measures in order to stop a second Holocaust." Care to guess which presidential candidate the Pennsylvania GOP judges most likely to bring on Holocaust II?
"Many of our ancestors ignored the warning signs in the 1930s and 1940s and made a tragic mistake," the e-mail intones. "Let's not make a similar one this year" (Page 2). Signed by three of the state's most prominent Jewish Republicans, the e-mail goes on to suggest that Barack Obama's worldview is somehow sympathetic to that of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran, driving home the point by quoting Ahmadinejad's famous characterization of Israel as a "stinking corpse" that should be "wiped off the face of the earth." It also quotes Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef praising Obama: "We hope he will [win] the election."
How fucking repugnant can they get?

Pretty fucking repugnant, apparently.

The rest of the world hopes Obama will win the election. A dude from Hamas is just a speck in that ocean.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hope that after the election is over, a friend of my husband's father will stop sending us racist and stupid and ignorant e-mail forwards.

What about members of Al Qaeda endorsing McCain? It wasn't just one member - a number of al Qaeda members met and reached consensus that they should endorse McCain.
Oh, it turns out they were using "reverse psychology."
