Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Now tagless for your comfort.

If I get one more communication from this child's mother on how bad her hair looks, I'm going to ask her if she wants me to shave Olivia's head for punishment. I'm already paying $35 for a stylist to fix it. What more can I do? MEA CULPA!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Why else would you listen to the song?

I really love the lyrics. They're so bitter and hateful. It reminds me of something someone said about being a villian-that no villian actually thinks he/she is.

This Gregorian version is pretty haunting. [link]

Anyone know what the mode of inheritence of cream color in dogs is?

Because it's not an acceptable color in shibas and that puppycam litter has 2 out of five creams. (Also, it's interesting to me the amount of black on the red puppies - suggests that they are actually some sort of sable - really red pups - Irish Setters, Irish Red and White Setters for example - don't have black markings like that.)

Had her hair ever been cut before, Cash? I'll own up that I'm neurotic and weird about Lillian's hair, largely because it's never been cut, and I'd be totally off the rails irrational if something happened to it. (I mean, I'm sure I'd get over it eventually, but I *know* I'd flip like a mammal and there would be uncontrolled blame rays everywhere.)

oh, yes. I had assumed that the new version was instrumental. My bad.

As a side note, I provide a link to the The myth of the story behind In the Air Tonight For years, I swore that some guy had let Phil's brother drown, and then Phil saw the guy in the audience of a show and wrote the song.

Michelle Obama greets White House tourists:

White House tourists got a surprise Wednesday.

None other than first lady Michelle Obama showed up as their greeter to mark the end of Barack Obama's first year as president.

Mrs. Obama brought the family dog, Bo, to the Blue Room. She spent 45 minutes greeting and hugging many of the 400 guests as they filed in.
