We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Have you seen the Don't tell Batman t-shirt?

That's excellent.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Phew and phew -- on Friday, a friend asked me to look at her resume and a cover letter she had written. I was slightly apprehensive, just because I've never seen her work. Phew #1: It was really really good. Phew #2: She sent it off this morning and already has an interview scheduled!

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

Another photo o' the day: Bat-eared Foxes for No Good Reason

I have had this picture for a while just waiting for groundbreaking news about Bat-eared foxes. Well it never came but I can't just stare at the little guys any longer and not post them.

They aren't babies and therefore not ZooBorn's fodder, but they are pretty ridiculous. Insects make up 80% of the Bat-eared fox diet. The other 20% comprises rainbows and Hello Kitty memorabilia.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Alaska's Mount Redoubt.

Is there a special name for those grid puzzles where you try to find hidden words?

“Not dead yet!”

Hidden word search, megan?

(Not being a smart ass, I think that's literally what they're called.)

The reason I ask is that I'm putting a puzzle is our book. The French title of the exercise literally translates as "Hidden Words", but I was wondering if I should be using something else.

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

Word Search

I forgot to set my alarm to move my car for street cleaning. I woke up 20 minutes late and got to my car as a cop was leaving it. That particular 20 minutes of sleep cost $50. I wish I got partial credit for moving my car before the street cleaner actually got there.
