Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

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.

Brand? I really need to get myself something like that, I absolutely hate scooping.

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

I would have to be paid to be at a birth. seriously.

I did it for free!

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).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Is it ethical to create a living woolly mammoth out of recovered DNA?

Who cares if it's ethical?! It's cool!

I'm more interested in recreating the thylacine, personally. Or moas.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

15-20 minutes of "My human, my reason for existing, hold me, touch me, let me gaze into your eyes!" per day, then they're pretty "Yo, dude" from across the room the rest of the time.

I've dated men like this.

Do you have their numbers?

My boss just informed me that I may have to go to training. In Toronto. In February.

You can stay entirely underground if you choose to.

What Connie said. (Second post in second thread in a row saying that.)

Can I hire you to be on call during conversations with my supervisor?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Having volunteered at the Humane Society and walked five dogs, I desperately need a shower.

Having walked five dogs, I am so very tired and wish the shower would come to me.
