A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

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

Anyone have any serving suggestions for kohlrabi?

You can grate it and mix with mayo to make a sort of coleslaw-ish salad. That's what I did with mine last time I got some, and it was pretty good. I think I put some lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, and vinegar into the dressing, too, and also added some grated apple, because I'm weird and like apple in my coleslaw.

I am for some reason earwormed with a weird mashup of Crocodile Rock and Palisades Park. Not an actual mashup that I heard, just both songs playing in my head at the same time. They do kind of fit together.

It's so weird being home shortly after 4.

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

I have read in many many bars.

well damn, the place STILL did not have the heat treatment machine things. They took my number and will call me when they are in.

Still, I've had over 2 hours sans mac to do house stuff. 2 loads of laundry in, 3 21 gallon bins filled (light stuff), one smaller bin filled/taped/taken to storage.

I should vacuum before the playdate calls me and says the movie is over.

I survived my interview and am celebrating with a gluten-free beer and coconut chocolate ice cream!

I don't know if I did well. Iowa people are so friendly that I could have bombed and they would have acted just as pleasant. I won't know for a week or more if I've made the cut for the next round. I've got my fingers crossed!

UPS did not deliver my package. No signature was required, the package should not be bulky, there are other UPS packages in the front hallway, and my roommate was home.

I may have to make some calls.

But first, I'm going to take a nap, god damn it.

Always a good first step!

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

This ain't right....

Accused Florida man says his cat downloaded child porn, not him.

Florida law enforcement agents have charged 48-year-old Keith R. Griffin (shown at left) with 10 counts of possession of child pornography after a detective found over a thousand such images on his computer.

In his defense, Mr. Griffin told detectives "he would leave his computer on and his cat would jump on the keyboard. And when he returned there will be strange material downloaded."

He is jail, with bail set at a quarter million dollars. His cat roams free.

Somehow I doubt "the cat did it" theory....

My cat once bought a gun. Hubby had left his computer on an auction site, with the mouse too close to the Buy It Now button. He also came very close to buying a yacht, and for that he had to change windows and scroll down.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

hmm.. my cat mostly types in welsh and turns on strange pieces of software that I didn't know existed ( like sticky keys) Occasionally, he closes things.

no porn of any kind

I wanted to ignore Sarah Palin, but her contribution to the health-care debate should perhaps be noted:

The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

But then a lot of Republicans are saying stuff like this, right?
