Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Sorry about your car ita. Could you maybe take the battery to an auto parts store that does free testing? A clicking noise is just very consistent with a battery that can't pump out enough juice to get things going.

Kat, I bet Jilli could identify a maple syrupy scent from BPAL or similar. I think some of the ones she passed along to me (Jilli, the solid perfume in Golden Oak that I have no idea the maker of) kind of have it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

There is some sort of crow battle royale going on in my backyard this morning. Not sure what they're squawking about.

Someone remind me that the house isn't going to tidy itself.

I think my favorite COMM ever was Cindy's, "Well, these cats aren't going to stack themselves..."

Kat, I've used the web site LJ Book to make a pdf of an LJ for archival purposes.

I was just going to recommend that one.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Anyone know of Mac based decent LJ archiving tools?

I use XJournal. I haven't tried to restore a journal from it, though. The data's just sitting on my harddrive. Somewhere.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks guys for the car suggestions. I'm less panicky than I was yesterday, which is a great improvement. My default is to have it towed to the dealership because that's where I get all my work done (don't really have the know how to choose what's probably a cheaper place to go). Getting the battery to an auto parts place involves cabbing and complication.

“Not dead yet!”

I'm cranky.

Dunno why. I'm sitting here with my word doc open, staring at it and wondering why I bother.

People on email loops are making me nuts One email loop I have to turn off—they're extolling the virtues of that stupid Caitlin Flanagan article about Twilight and I just want to strangle things.

I may be PMSing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

the virtues of that stupid Caitlin Flanagan article about Twilight

Except for "stupid," these are words that do not belong together.

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