There are only 4 puppies in the bed now.
Well there looks like there are 2 outside. Mom + 1.
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am currently reading The Third Chimpanzee by Jared Diamond. He quotes the Encyclopedia Britanica:
It is difficult to imagine life evolving on another planet without progressing towards intelligence.
Diamond disagrees with that assertion. (I'm reading the chapter on why we haven't found intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.) I think he makes a good case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
He looks so much like his mom.

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

Whuh-oh! I'm sorry I let him play with my sunglasses (but he was very respectful!) but OMG SO ADORABLE.

OK, now he's talking about various New Guinea tribes:
Barua men pursued institutionalized bisexuality by living with the young boys in a large communal homosexual house, while each man had a separate small heterosexual house for his wife and daughters and infant sons. Tudawhes instead had two-story houses in which women, infants, unmarried girls, and pigs lived in a lower story, while men and unmarried boys lived in the upper story accessed by a separate ladder from the ground.
People is weird.

Buzzah? Which one?
I quote from my alumni e-mail: "Vanderbilt will play Boston College in the 2008 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl." Gaylord Hotels are the Opryland people. My ignorance of football is so profound that I had no idea there was a Music City Bowl, even though googling tells me it's been around 10 years.
