Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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

How does Zipcar work? Does a Mini Cooper cost more than other cars? I always wondered.

Yeah, every car has a different price.

Here in SF, hybrids are the cheapest. They can be as low as $7. There isn't one in my lot though.

Regular cars are $10ish and sportier cars are $12-14 (MINI, BMW, Saab, etc.).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hybrids are on the cheap end in NYC too - makes sense, since Zipcar pays for gas.

Generally speaking, the more expensive the car, the higher the per-hour rate will be. (And the smaller the Zipcar logo, so if you rent a Lexus to impress your date, she won't immediately pick up that it's not your car.)

Huh. In Chicago, a hybrid tends to be a buck or two more than an economy, and a minivan or baby SUV another buck or two more than that. Either way, it's not a huge difference.

I've seen that in my own home.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

You know, I knew exactly what BOB image y'all were talking about without looking. And then I went and read the article and it still freaked me out. I was babysitting in a house across the street during the episode and was so freaked out I tried to get my mom to come over during commercials. She refused. Didn't help that I could hear an ominous repetitive thumping, which I finally identified as bass from a party down the street.

Shit, more drips once rain started up and it isn't from the floors. Think I'll be buying some roofing tar and sealing the balcony doorjam and seams this weekend.

Hrm, laying out a plastic bag near the hinge side of the door may have reduced the leak to nil. Hrm.

I'm going to have water damage nightmares tonight. Unless I am lucky and dream of the cats chasing flower petals on the deck as they were this evening. With the wind, it was a practical flurry, and Devi, well, she's goddamn 13 and you wouldn't know it (holy fuck, how can my bitchbaby be that old?) She and Loki were having a high time of it.
