Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bouncing around:

I want a Haast's eagle. I don't know how I'd keep it from leaving, but I damn sure wouldn't have to worry about that big-ass possum eating the cat food anymore. About how big do you think a 40-pound eagle would be? This makes me think of something I saw on Discovery Channel or some place, called I Saw A Giant Bird OMG No Really Like A Huge Bird And It Almost Stole My Kid or possibly a shorter but less descriptive title. Maybe the Haast's eagle isn't extinct, it just emigrated to the Pacific Northwest! That's where all the weird things eventually go, right? (People who live in the PNW, I'm looking at you. And Bigfoot. I know you're hiding him.)

Surprisingly, I've had less caffeine today than usual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

At first I thought this was kinda funny, but by the end just sad.

He's just 13. It's okay if it's little then, right?

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

it just emigrated to the Pacific Northwest! That's where all the weird things eventually go, right?

Yep. Like the tree octopus.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I just learned a friend of mine from high school (and debate teammate) wrote a little thing for McSweeney's [link]

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

Jealous. Would love to write a thing for McSweeney's.

Want me to ask Wes how he got the gig?

My FaceBook status updates end up boring because I have to run them through the work-filter and the mom-filter.

DW was lamenting how she couldn't make her status, "Dial M for Motherfucker: Greatest album title of all time?" as she has work people as FB friends.

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

Hee, DJ! I like it.

Now tagless for your comfort.

DH finally realized I bought a new phone. I got tired of dealing with his RAZR. After a Qwerty keyboard, I'm ruined for texting on a regular phone.

I reupped with Alltel because of their buyout with Verizon. The reception's been better and I'm loving the BB. I still want to see a CDMA version of the iPhone. If that's going to happen, it should happen in the next two years so I can wait.

Allyson, I love the idea of an atom tattoo.

That can be tricky.
