I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I do not know what I would call my partner. I call My Friend Maria "My Friend Maria most of the time, but I think people think she is my "partner" until I tell them about her husband and kids. I call my cat "My Cat", not Miss Bobo.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh dear god. Looks like someone was trying to make the entry deadline for this year's Darwin Awards....
Tree Surfer In California Slams Into Car, Injures Head (VIDEO)
SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — Authorities say a man in Southern California riding a Christmas tree being dragged behind an SUV slammed into a parked car and was hospitalized with head injuries.
Orange County sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 18-year-old and another teenager were Christmas tree surfing, a seasonal Internet fad.
Capt. Greg McKeown says the car was going about 25 mph Sunday night when the female driver took a corner and the tree veered wide and crashed.
Amormino says the driver fled. Two SUV passengers and the other tree surfer told deputies they didn't know the girl.
Authorities did not release any names. The injured man was hospitalized with moderate head injuries. Amormino says he is expected to survive.
He warned against tree surfing, calling it a serious traffic violation.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Apparently, yes, we are having DNS problems. I still don't understand why I can get here, but please, no one take it away.

Because you go here very frequently, your computer is using the cached result of an earlier DNS search.

But it doesn't work for any of the other sites I go to frequently? I don't mean to interrogate you, I'm just curious. And about to go home, thank god.

It should. I don't know how long before the cached value is expired. (DNS servers are somewhat of a mystery to me, hence they are magic.)

WHAT ARE INTERNETING FOR??

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Obviously I say "SO" when talking about D., but that's an internet phenomenon left over from when I wasn't revealing my gender identity. In real life I say "my husband, D." a lot, particularly because we discovered that a lot of our kids don't realize we're married. Sometimes they ask us if we're brother and sister, I guess when we talk about living in the same house or something. Which is pretty funny with our ethnic heritage differences, but I guess to them it's not that odd to have siblings of varying ethnicities.
I notice that I say, "my friend, X" when I'm talking about all y'all because I must feel odd introducing some completely random name. I just say the friend's name if it's someone I'm talking about meatspace to meatspace.
