Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Aw Cash, that is rough.

Something is biting my boobs. I have five bites, one under my arm. Some of the welts are the size of quarters. I think all the bites have happened while I was at work, so it could be something there.

I've checked the cats and they don't seem to have fleas.

The neighborhood stalker cat is on my porch. I can tell just by the sounds Loki makes.

Sue, could it have been a spider or something?

Maybe. The bites happened over two days. Or at least I noticed two this morning (And I was itchy in one spot yesterday), and three more tonight when I got home. I suppose there could have been a spider in my bed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Epic Win, Win, Meh, Fail, Epic Fail.

Perhaps some parents might take "Epic Fail" the wrong way?

Well, Maine's law legalizing same-sex marriage is going to be a referendum on the ballot in November -- the petition got enough signatures. [link]

This is possibly one of the best legalize-gay-marriage ads I've seen. [link] Although the first ten seconds or so seem more like one the Maine tourism ads.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

IcompletelyON, here's a really sweet interview with Richard Hammond from the BBC's Top Gear done by a 7-year-old girl who's obviously enjoying herself immensely.

That was charming!

(it is maybe my favorite show on tv.)

oh man. My abs hurt so badly but not in the usual way. We did this intense backbend thing and I think I broke my abs. i'd like an ab transplant.

Noah has learned to say, "May I please be excused?" And he thinks it means he IS done. Really it means I begin the Eat More negotiations.

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