This too shall pass?
Indeed.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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

Megavideo is conspiring against me, telling me I've watched 72 minutes of video when I've watched maybe 45.
Sophia, unfortunately, allergy attacks amongst a staff that knows my allergies and that the ragweed isn't in bloom yet doesn't help. Although I think the hiccuping and sobbing didn't help either. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't involve long walks in the woods again. It's going to be cooler and I can't use the excuse of needing the shade again (although I did find an infestation of bamboo from a neighbors yard starting to invade our property.)

Anyone heard about Rifqa Bary? [link] Something just seems not right in that story. I don't want to say that the girl is lying when she says she's in danger, but it just seems a bit off.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Any Chicagoistas have recommendations for moving companies? The last time I moved was eight years ago....
I used Kolovitz Movers a couple of years ago and they rocked. They're in Oak Park, so I don't know if that's very convenient for you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, my sweet tooth really likes the idea of this. Especially with my current craving for frozen fruit. The supermarket didn't have my pre-frozen mix, so I have a less exotic combination bought fresh and freezing right now. I will miss the mango and pineapple.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Hil, that story sounds very off. And I distinctly don't like that one of the girl's main defenders is the founder of Jihad Watch, which I came across while looking for online reviews of a thoughtful, well-written apologetics-for-the-general-public book written by an American Muslim woman I'd just read, and found a whack-ass raging screed by him about what a monstrous liar and bloodstained terrorist apologist she was.

There's a show on the Canadian History Channel called the Reinventors, where they take patents that were never made, build them and see if they work. I wise there was a way to submit ideas, because I would totally submit the banana thing. [link]

According to the article in Time magazine, she was a cheerleader before she ran away from home.

“Not dead yet!”
I already posted Lewis' first offering to the Dalek conversation in COMMA, because it was that good, but I'll repost here:
Mary Kay Dalek: EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!
But then he came up with another-- lead-footed Dalek: ACCELERATE! ACCELERATE!
My husband, he is a bent, bent man. Which is why I love him, of course.
