Camera batteries are dead so I went to get some. I bought rechargables and I guess the need to be charged first. Poop. I guess no pictures today.
Mal: You were dead! Tracy: Hunh? Oh. Right. Suppose I was. Hey there, Zoe.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We were supposed to get some wintry mix last night, but I don't think it stuck around.
Anyways, we have our new dining room set and Nova has been exploring it. The party yesterday was nice.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Mission accomplished.
There are people who are out skating here at Rockefeller Plaza! Insane!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
MISIONES, Argentina, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Argentine police say a destitute 1-year-old boy was kept alive by a colony of stray cats who shared food scraps and kept him warm in the city of Misiones.
The boy, who had been missing for several days, was found by Police Officer Lorean Lindgvist, The Daily Telegraph reported Saturday
"The boy was lying at the bottom of a gutter. There were all these cats on top of him licking him because he was really dirty," Lindgvist said. "When I walked over they became really protective and spat at me. They were keeping the boy warm while he slept."
Lindgvist said she noticed scraps of food near the boy and surmised "the cats knew he was fragile and needed protecting," the Telegraph reported, noting doctors said the warmth of the cats saved the boy during freezing nights that could have killed him.
The boy's father, who is homeless, said his son vanished several days ago and that cats had always been protective of the boy, Lindgvist said.

Cats keep lost boy warm
Does anyone else think they were fattening him up for a Christmas feast?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Absolutely.

I think they were hoping he'd grow up to become a supervillain and marry Cat Woman.

Check out the second picture down of the bizarre Japanese aircraft carrier Kaga in 1926. Kaga was later extensively rebuilt, losing the odd horizontal smokestack down its side. Kaga was one of the carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor, and was later sunk by dive bombers from the USS Enterprise at the battle of Midway in 1942.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Snowpocalypse in NYC has devolved into Rainpocalypse: The Enslushening. It is just gross out there.
Yeah, that doesn't sound appealing at all. I was reminded yesterday that I live in the suburbs, since there was hardly any snow on the ground in Manhattan, but plenty in my neighborhood. I hear people clearing outside, and it's almost 40 out, so I hope by the time I get out there, the sidewalks are clear.
