Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Being at work is less so.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have just seen a picture of the cutest little piglets ever:

They have wrinkles! They are Shar Pei piglets!

Ann, that's a ferret.

Dudes. Time Warner cable appears to be canceling comedy central, nickelodeon, and MTV.

I read about this earlier this morning. It isn't so much "canceling" as "dispute over how much fees to pay." We went through it a few years with the local Fox channel. The contract runs out, the cable system and the broadcaster can't agree on how much should be paid in fees, so cable system can't carry broadcaster's channels.

Worst case scenario -- you'll lose those channels for a couple of weeks. Then screaming cable subscribers will pressure the two sides into an agreement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The caption on those piglets:

The pig is a traditional German symbol for good luck at the start of a new year.

Isn't eating the pig the thing for good luck?

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

Isn't eating the pig the thing for good luck?

That doesn't happen until Oktoberfest.

Yep. You get a lot more pig that way.

I really don't want to deal with work today.

Also? If all 3 cats curl up with you on the couch at 11:30 at night, just after you've turned out the main light? If you close your eyes "for just a minute" because it is so cuddly and warm and comfortable?

Do not be surprised to wake up at 7 am still on the couch. Covered in cats.

Calli, I don't know from clock obsessives, but I did live in Thomaston, CT, where the Seth Thomas company was based, for a couple of years. [link]
