Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can't find the rest of my towels. I have no clue.

You'll find them in two weeks in a box with a missing remote control, a plate, and that CD you've been missing forever.

...sigh. I never did find my remote control after moving. Luckily, the one the cable company gave me controls my TV. If I ever give up cable, I'll have to go find a universal remote. Or call that a good time to spend more money on a new flatscreen?

Oh, I found the remotes early on. Cleverly hidden in the box with the dvd player and digital antenna labelled "DVD/ANTENNA/REMOTES" in bright red. Only took me 3 hours.

I'm sure I used them as packing material, but for what? I found my spare sheets in the box of art. Actually, msbelle probably knows. eta: she probably packed them. I'll ask her when she gets here.

I got two of these: [link] tonight (stacked on top of each other.) They are put together and holding what towels I can find nicely and smell good.

Been looking at kitchen carts: [link] I need something < 30 inches wide and < 32 long.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Coilhouse spotlighted this banking advertisement in Argentina which features a transgendered woman.

Got me a little choked up. I wonder if it's the restraint or the kindness or what, but it's very moving.

“Not dead yet!”

We're at Wicked and it occurred to me that John Barrowman could so totally own the role of Fiyero.

I think I am going to have to give up on all my ziploc bags. Can't find them anywhere and I didn't pack them. If anyone did, it was the movers and I think I unpacked those already. I think. Otherwise, well, there are bad thoughts and not towards the movers (and I'll feel guilty for having them when I find the boxes.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This could make sense though:

We want him to discourage people from taking part in dog-fighting. I can do it until I'm blue in the face and it might not convince anybody. Michael Vick sure can.

And PETA is saying they'll be sort of hardass about it:

Before doing a deal, however, PETA wants Mr. Vick to undergo a psychological evaluation for antisocial personality disorder. "We're suspicious this may come from a place of simply wanting to repair his public image, rather than genuine remorse," Mr. Shannon said. "He was dishonest all the way up the line until he finally had to admit to what he did, which is a hallmark of [antisocial personality disorder]. If he can't tell the difference between right and wrong, we can't get in bed with this guy. At this point, he hasn't chosen to submit to an evaluation. We hope the NFL will require that evaluation as a precondition of reinstatement. The bottom line is: Everybody knows he's going to apologize, go on Oprah and Larry King and say he did wrong, that he learned his lesson. But there's no reason for anybody to take his word for that based on the pattern of dishonesty and the severity of cruelty he took part in."

PETA is plenty aggrivating, but if they can pull this off it could be a good thing.
