Oh, that would make sense. I think. Could Tourette's result in slamming doors, etc?

It might be a Tourette's/OCD thing.

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

OK, now the maintenance guy is trying to maintain the peace.

He's a nice guy too.

What a sad loss. He will be remembered, respected, and missed. NYT obituary. Patti Smith, another personal idol of mine, says of Carroll, "I met him in 1970, and already he was pretty much universally recognized as the best poet of his generation.

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

Get yer butt out there and eavesdrop!

Wozniacki kinda fell apart there at the end of the last set. I give the match to Clijsters. I really wish they'd stop mentioning Henin. Surely there's something else to talk about. Uh, that isn't Serena.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck to you and yours, Nora!

It's Europe's revenge for us afflicting them with Jingle Cats, right?

Because books.

Hey, Serena just announced Pink at the VMAs. That was unexpected, since I've been watching you all talk about what happened today.
