I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sadly, the point of buying it for this is for someone else to get it.

No, Jesse, I got that. I meant that you could keep Life and give the Cowgirl Game. Better to have a Life than a Cowgirl.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, right, right. Der.

Best wishes for your family, Frank. What a terrible situation.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I'm skipping about 350 posts or so (yay uni!), so happy birthdays if there were any, and ~ma to those in need (hell, I happen to think we all need ~mas, just because).

Frank, those are horrible news. I'm sorry to hear that. A lot of coping and compassion ~ma to you and your sister's family.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Best wishes indeed, Frank, and yes, fuck cancer.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

To make up for my last food-related post, I present to you: Apple pie with bacon lattice crust.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I dreamed tonight that for some reason, I took a surprise flight from a friend (don't know who), and then a long train ride, and suddenly I was in Oklahoma.

It may be a good place to state that I have no idea IRL what Oklahoma looks like or why was I even there: I met my mom and my aunt (who lives in Arizona) there, and was disturbed by two things: One, that I needed cloths and such. That was a surprise trip, I didn't know where I'll be heading and for how long and only had literally the cloths on me. Two, of course, was "where the hell is Oklahoma on the map, and where does the nearest Buffista lives?".

But my Oklahoma dream was very beautiful, very green and big and for some reason, with a deserty training base in it.

About 8 years ago I gave up and stopped trying to understand my dreams. This is just an mild example of why.

Loki got lost in the duvet again. At 3 am.

Waking up because your blanket is looming over your face and meeping is disconcerting, to say the least.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Dude, you named the cat Loki.

“Not dead yet!”

I woke up with Jasmine parked on my chest. Sixty-five pounds of Lab is very warm, to be sure, but kind of an impediment to, you know, breathing.

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

I just decided that I want chicken vindaloo for lunch. The only problem? Lunch isn't for two hours yet. Crap.
