Keep breathing!

Timelies, all!

FAFSAs accomplished - for three kids, in three hours. Not bad. Thanks for the encouragement yesterday.

IOMeN, I know I'm the last kid on the block to find discover this, but I went on Pandora yesterday for the first time and I'm loving it! Now I have a way to hear all kinds of Celtic and similar music - I've always admired it, but didn't know how to navigate through the genre to find what I liked.

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

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

I love Pandora, Shari. I've discovered lots of great new music. I'm refining another station right now since my regular station rarely gives me anything new anymore.

Now I have a way to hear all kinds of Celtic and similar music - I've always admired it, but didn't know how to navigate through the genre to find what I liked.

Seed a station with your favorite Celtic-y song and watch the magic happen.

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

Cute.

WTF, world? January is not good for famous people.

To be fair, Salinger was 90.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, sure -- Salinger, Zinn, even Parker were pretty old. But still: People (whose work) I like and/or admire!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Don't go blaming the world, Jesse.

You don't want to be on its shitlist.

Yikes! I'm handling crime scene media and just came across the autopsy photos.

I'm not blaming, just ruing. Rueing? Whatever, I'm bummed out, is the point.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My favorite part about the New Orleans-Indianapolis art museum smackdown is the quotes from the two directors.

Anderson reportedly described the Renoir as a "sentimental blancmange by that 'China painter.'"

Damn! A blancmange!

Bullard went on to describe the chalice as an "over-elaborate Victorian tchotchke." He challenged Anderson to "get serious." Then he concluded by apologizing that "we have no farm scenes or portraits of football players to send you."

OH SNAP.

Hee! I liked the line in the actual article like, "In the extremely unlikely even the Colts take it..."
