"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So I wrote something for writing group, printed it and left it on my printer at school.

In lieu of going back to work when I was already out of the gates (but not even a block away), I just rewrote what I had written. Is it bad that I'm that lazy?

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Obviously, teh gay caused the volcano to erupt.

But I thought it was Obama's fault!

Also, today has kind of been a clusterfuck. I wish it would stop.

If you could remember it all, you're one step ahead of me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In awesome news, I just gave myself a fabulous ten-color manicure.

New wetsuit protects bald penguin from sunburn

A bald penguin has been kitted out today in a new "comfier and snazzier" wetsuit to help prevent it from getting sunburnt this summer.

Ralph, a 10-year-old Humboldt penguin at Marwell Wildlife in Hampshire, was last year given a wetsuit for the first time to protect its exposed pale pink skin.

Penguins moult every year, which usually takes between four to six weeks to complete.

But Ralph loses all his feathers in the space of a few days, so new ones do not grow through in time, exposing his skin to the sun.

The wetsuit protects Ralph's sensitive skin until his new feathers have grown through, which his keepers think will take about a month.

Plus his wetsuit says RALPH in big letters!

Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa Lands Talent Deal with NBC:

"We felt he was a piece of talent worth developing," Grace Wu, NBC's senior vice president of casting, told Variety, which first reported the deal. "He's an attractive guy who's just as funny and charming."

As part of the new deal, Mustafa will audition for roles in NBC's current series, mostly sitcoms, as well as future pilots at the network.

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

I can't believe a talent deal made the news. They hand those out all the time. Okay, okay, that's making them sound like candy. Just that they regularly turn into bupkis. I'd have a lot more famous friends otherwise.

There is some electronic device chirrupping in my apartment and I can't ID it. Driving me nuts.
