Now tagless for your comfort.

An odd case where reading the comments is worth it - this article about Andre Agassi wearing a wig in the 90's only took 25 comments to devolve into a raging flame war about Obama's place of birth (with a healthy side helping of racism and anti-semitism). Record derail!

Who decided it was a good idea to give stupid people internet access?

Liv had an epiphany last night. While out trick or treating with DH (it was pretty cold), she asked him why they were out asking other people for candy when we had a GREAT BIG BOWL of it at home.

Liv is smart. She should get all the age-appropriate internet access currently being abused by stupid people.

I had my first Vesper martini last night and I must say "Yum!". Also I learned a new card game called Slick that is oh so very fun and has an insane number of rules. Oh and it was fun not just because I won (pure luck).

Sadly, out in the Sunset where I was, we had only one TorTer. An adorable teeny tiny green bean.

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

There is a cat on my butt. Somewhat relatedly, I fear I may have to fart.

eta: OK, kitty got off my butt. I think she sensed something was up....

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Having googled, that sounds good! Deadly, but good.

Sadly, out in the Sunset where I was

Is that the SF Sunset? Are you in the area?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sigh. I expect better from the NY Times when it comes to interpreting statistics. From an article about how many jobs were created by the stimulus money: [link]

Michigan, whose unemployment rate of 15.3 percent was the highest in the nation, reported creating or saving 22,514 jobs, the ninth most in the nation. But Rhode Island, whose 13 percent unemployment rate made it the third highest in the nation, ranked near the bottom with 2,012 jobs.

You can't compare percentages with raw numbers like that!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Slept in the extra hour this morning and I feel great. Watching the NY marathon that I taped -- no one spoil me!

I had the TV in the background, and I thought I heard them say that Cthulu had won the NYC Marathon.

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

I heard that too, Tom. And that he had devoured the competition.

Not reading that! I don't want to know!
