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

Kitty was still hiding (with her food uneaten), but she came out of hiding after I was there for a bit. And she came over when I said "Brush?" (the one word she knows) and happily accepted a brushing.

I am now at this awesome cafe with my dinner (Chamomile tea, a piece of cinnamon bread and an M&M cookie). I don't have internet at my new place yet, so it's great to find a place with free wifi that's so close.

Oopsie! Saad Khan, Pakistan Reality TV Contestant, Drowns In Challenge

OK, wtf kind of challenge is this? Did no one stop and think, "Gee, is there anything that could go wrong here?"

ISLAMABAD — A contestant on a Pakistani reality TV show drowned while performing a challenge for the program, a spokeswoman for the show's sponsor said Sunday.

Pakistani contestant Saad Khan, 32, was swimming across a lake while wearing a 15-pound (7-kilogram) backpack when he called out for help and then disappeared underwater, according to Fareshte Aslam, information officer for Unilever Pakistan, the show's sponsor.

Horrified co-contestants and crew rushed to try to save him but could not find him in the murky waters of the lake in the Thai capital of Bangkok, where the show was being filmed, according to Aslam, who was recounting reports of those on the scene.

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

I just got home. What have people been doing this weekend, and this week, and last weekend?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I sent your VVC discs. And now I'm writing Sports Night fic.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I've been writing and checking out the trainwreck that is the OK Cupid dating message boards. It's all revulsion at fat women, followed by ten thousands threads in which the main gist is: Women are all bitches and cunts...how come they won't fuck me?"

I need a nap and brain bleach.

Oh Allyson! Step away from the freaks.

Other things I've been doing: sewing a dress, laundry, hanging with my family. All good stuff.

Seriously, yo. I give UP. The sheer amount of misogyny is weighing me down.
