You do realize that one of my best friends put "I'm Cute" on the compilation CD she made that was All About Jilli, right?

(Also, back in my vampire LARPing days, a group of us very nearly convinced the storyteller to let us create characters based off of Wakko, Yakko, and Dot. Yes, I was going to be Dot.)

You really must pull together a Goth!Dot look. Maybe for Halloween or April Fool's Day.

The difference between bad vodka and good vodka is like two trips through a Brita filter.

MythBusters proved that.

also re: cats: has anyone tried the calming pheromone diffuser thing with their cats? We're thinking of trying it out and wanted some reviews.

See, the real reason I couldn't be corporate has little to do with being impaired but a lot to do with the fact that reading that made me think of when Jay Landsman found a body in pieces outside a high-rise window and asked if the uniforms had "found the pogo stick yet."
