"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Fuck it, Dana. I'm sorry.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I hope they've got something else for you soon, Dana.

The Cold Case premise was remarkably similar to the way a friend's mother started working at an Army base in the '50s.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Bayistas--quake?

Bayistas--quake?

Yikes!

Sorry, Dana. I sure hope something comes up quick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ouch, Dana -- good luck.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Aims--I have. It's ouchy but nothing a little ibuprofen can't handle. I found it less painful than a mammogram (or a bikini wax, for that matter).

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

A quick meara before I go grade:

Ugh, Dana, I'm sorry. That sucks.

There was a quake in the Bay Area? Zoinks! I better go check on some folks.

Gud, she's adorable. And Jesse's right, in the photo she reminds me of Abigail Breslin. Franny has freckles on her nose and I think they are delicious, although they have prompted me to start making her wear hats on sunny days as clearly the 50+ sunblock isn't enough.

bon bon, I keep meaning to say... Immanuel Kat is the best cat name ever.

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

Today's anniversary of the pencil eraser

On today's date, 1858, Hymen Lipman was granted a patent for attaching a piece of rubber to the end of a pencil. While it was certainly a stroke of genius, the courts didn't think it to be as groundbreaking as one might think. From Smithsonian:

Unfortunately for Lipman, the patent would later be revoked, when the U.S. Supreme Court rules in 1875 that a pencil with an eraser is just a pencil with an eraser and not a new invention.

Bummer. But in honor of this auspicious date, I think I'll erase something with the eraser on my pencil.
