Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, wow, but this one is like, codependents R Us!!

Heh. Well, those are cheaper than the Love Toilet.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm at work today. I'm out of use-or-lose for this year, and I don't want to cut into the cushion any more than I already have. If I had the leave time, I'd probably have arranged to take the day off without comment.

I just got back from a week-long vacation and had to take a personal day for a funeral the week before that, so felt it was perhaps wise not to miss a status meeting by calling in gay.

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

Much like the Segway, I just want to try one of these. [link]

sara, woot! That'll make it easier to get permission to take T, won't it? K thought about asking if she could crash with you if she decided to join folks going to the inauguration. Of course it would mean 1. finding a flight and 2. getting Noah either a sitter or a place to stay.

I had to look up tuenti (a Madrid-based social networking website, referred to many as the "Spanish Facebook"), nasza klasa (a Polish social networking website), and wer kennt wen (ditto, this time for Germans).

Obama and the snowball.

I love looking at pictures of this man for two reasons: he's such a NERD and he does things that make me smile. But also he still seems to have joy in his life. I hope that joy remains.

Went back to my dental hygienist today for a periodontal checkup. I've seen improvement since buying a waterpik. My gums hurt.
