Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The reason I joined facebook was to reconnect with cousins.

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

Facebook has helped me reconnect with a cousin or two, too.

Of course, it may also lead to me visiting Michigan's Upper Peninsula in March, so it's sort of a mixed bag.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I cancelled a paid off credit card today and got no pushback from the company. That has never happened before. They didn't even ask for a reason.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You're not a money-maker for them, since you paid off your credit card and therefore aren't racking up interest.

Well sure. Hopefully the same thing will happen with the next one I cancel.

I am going from 4 cards with balances to 2 and from 6 cards total to 4.

Art Crawl!!!

Man, I saw the saddest thing: a beagle so fat that it could barely move.

Teeny tiny head, legs and tail and a barrel for a body.

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

Gah, I have good friends who have a dog like that. It makes it really difficult for me to even be around them. It's entire life, they've just been constantly flipping it treats to the point where it can barely play or breath comfortably. Ugh.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Imitator Sues Artist to Overturn Copyright on Sculptural Art:

I need your help. My original art has been copied by a manufacturer who is now suing me in federal court to overturn my existing copyrights and continue making knockoffs. I have a strong case, a great lawyer and believe that if I can continue to defend myself, the case will be resolved in my favor. If I run out of funds before we reach trial, a default judgment would be issued against me and could put me out of business. I don't believe my opponent can win this case in court and I don't believe he really intends to try. I believe his goal is to use strong-arm litigation tactics to force me to keep spending money or risk losing my copyrights — not by true adjudication, but by default if he is able to outspend me.

This is nuts. How is this even legal? What's the point of a copyright if someone can just take it away from you in order to copy you?
