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

He does say that a wife is better than a dog.

Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

Groucho said that, right?

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?

Happy birthday, msbelle!!!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My plans for the weekend include dinner plans, Mohegan Sun, and finally doing the cooking I was thinking about last weekend...

Just got this in an email from my minister: The Knight Templars are making arrangements for a 30 seat plane and a helicopter to fly us from New Orleans to Jacmel and then to La Vallee. We are ready to staff our hospital in La Vallee which is intact, well stocked with surgical supplies, with 3 OR beds ready, a recovery... room, post op areas, a 50kwatts generator, a water tower and an ambulance.

We need: surgeons, orthopedists, anesthesiologists, nurses, civil engineers, those in construction
We need: analgesics, anesthetics, antihypertensives, antiglycemics, antibiotics, toiletries, IV fluids, chloride tablets, etc

Dana, didn't you say something about Katrina flashbacks?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy Birthday msbelle!!!

OMG, my boss, my boss. We just had this talk about "white privilege" where she talked about how she told the one black, gay man at our school that she identifies more with him than with rich white people because she doesn't have any privilege either. I'm thinking he LOVED that. then she said "See, he pulled himself up out of a bad situation and so did I. And look at him, the way he dresses and speaks and carries himself-- he is the epitome of "professionalism" @@ I had to refrain from mentioning that she would not even THINK about saying the same thing about our white male professor, who is actually sort of frumpy and wears turtlenecks and lab coats. Do people even fucking listen to themselves.

In other news, I hit a dog last night on the way home. Killed the poor thing pretty much instantly (which may be a blessing in disguise; since it was laying down in the middle of a highway at rush hour, I suspect it had been hit and immobilized by a car up ahead of me). And I'll be buying a new radiator instead of the laptop I'd planned.

Do people even fucking listen to themselves.

Too many assume they don't have to. Which brings us back to privilege.

ETA: Oh, I'm sorry Matt.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, didn't you say something about Katrina flashbacks?

Pretty much, yeah. I'm not listening too closely to the coverage.
