I think that the school should have auctioned it off for a new playground or whatever. It would have been a fun event!

I just placed the new runner and small accent rug I bought in my living room this weekend, and have pronounced them groovy. But now I need to find a matching rug to protect the floor behind my desk (and the 53" x 83" monstrosity on the same site is way too large for the space). Has anyone seen this pattern available in a mid-size rug, like 3'x5'?

Whenever you get it done, just let me know, and I will look around for you. Profile addy is good.

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

It's giving me flashbacks to the Donald Sutherland version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. If you've seen it, you know the moment I mean.

It doesn't help that the guy looks like Billy Corgan.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Howdy. Gronk.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

As I was leaving the hospital Sunday morning, the other pain chick asked me what my name was. Which is perfectly reasonable, after you've been chatting for an hour or more (even though we couldn't see each other--there was a curtain pulled between our beds). I didn't have to ask her name, though, because she used it repeatedly during conversation.

And now I'm trying to work out why. It's not like I'm particularly good with names. She just said it a lot. But how does that come up? Or, in conversation where we're pretty much equally talking about ourselves, how does my name not come up, ever?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

She said her own name a lot? I can only think of my high school geometry teacher who used to say things like, "So I said to myself, Mrs. Milli, what are you going to teach those kids today??"

Related to pain, hey, did you ever notice that men and women experience pain differently? But tests are mostly done with men? (And male mice??) Huh. Some researchers have also noticed this: [link]

I read about stink bugs in the NY Times, so they must be real: [link]
