I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Now tagless for your comfort.

They had a lot of trouble getting pregnant with their first son who just turned a year old and were so happy with the second pregnancy.

I feel so bad for her.

Oh, Cashmere, I'm so sorry.

Oh, that's terrible.

I'm taking the kids to Indiana this weekend so I'm going to give her a call while I'm in town.

In other, less depressing news, I scouted two possible practice venues for roller derby. I got cocky and didn't put on my knee pads, which means I hit a piece of debris on the floor and fell right onto my knees. Hopefully the bruise will be scrapbook worthy.

Because books.

Oh, Cash, I'm so sorry. That's so rough.

Good news on the roller derby practice, though.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Hopefully the bruise will be scrapbook worthy.

That's the spirit! Somewhere I have a picture of a bruise covering one entire butt cheek. My record tally was 43 bruises at once.

That's something to aspire to. I am shocked at how I'm actually not afraid of falling. Once you take a spill or two, it becomes more natural and the fear subsides. It doesn't hurt as much as you expect it to.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

I love the idea of doing it, but I know that I would be the one they would be yelling at saying, "there's no crying in roller derby!"

Because books.

I can't even stand up on roller skates. Or skateboards. Or ice skates. Someone intended me to be firmly on the ground at all times, for real. I have zero sense of balance.

Once you take a spill or two, it becomes more natural and the fear subsides. It doesn't hurt as much as you expect it to.

You should see me trying to navigate an icy sidewalk. I look like a ninety-year-old. It's tragic.

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

Woman Fights Off Bear with Zucchini

A bear attacked a dog in Frenchtown, Montana. The dog’s owner fended off the bear using a zucchini:

When the woman, whom police did not name, tried to separate the animals, the bear bit her in the leg.

Maricelli says the woman reached for the nearest object at hand on the porch’s railing — a large zucchini that she had harvested from her garden.

The woman flung the vegetable at the bear, striking it and forcing it to flee.
