As a New Yorker, everyone being nice to me would freak me out way more than everyone looking the same.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

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

I would have to be paid to be at a birth. seriously.
I have been paid and it was pretty cool, I must say. Since I'm a detail herder by nature, it was great to be able to make sure that everything was right in the universe so that the mom, dad and midwife could focus on the important bits.
Plus? Sweet mystery of life. Quite cool, really.

Toronto is a cool city. Much of it is underground. You never have to go outside, if you plan it right.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Now, Tom, it could be worse. It could be Minneapolis.
It could be Fargo!
Yeah! At least Minneapolis has the skyway system!!

And, I have an electric scooping litter box,

What Connie said. (Second post in second thread in a row saying that.) Toronto (and Montreal) know how to do winter better than US cities. You'll be fine.

Yes please. My dad could totally use something like that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't think there is such a thing as a normal cat. At least, not in my experience....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is it ethical to create a living woolly mammoth out of recovered DNA? Scientists think they'll be able to do it in 10-20 years. The technique should work on "any extinct creature that lived within the last 100,000 years as long as it got trapped in permafrost and had hair."
Huh. Suppose it's ethical to create a woolly mammoth. How about a Neanderthal?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I use the Scoop Free. It uses crystal litter which my cat has no problems with. I put in a new litter cartridge once per month. It rocks. It's more expensive, but for me, totally worth the money. The cartridges are $12-15 each, depending on where you get them.
This is the one I have: [link]
Plus, I got the hood for wicked cheap (like $1).
