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

Yeah. Sun set around 8:30 or so....

Now tagless for your comfort.

For dinner we grilled some salmon tonight and I made a salad with mixed greens, bleu cheese, strawberries and a vinagrette dressing. Sounds odd, but very tasty.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Hee--Rachel Maddow just equated the length of the unending Wimbledon match today with "watching the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and you can start reading The Hobbit in less time...Tomorrow, all one player has to do is to win two straight games over the other. And then retire. Or maybe, get married. After all, a perfect match doesn't come along every day!"

Oh, and remember today's talk about thigh holsters? The Flick Filosopher waxes lustfully over them.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Offtopic, but fell asleep, head on keyboard. Had one of my weird dreams:
Spooky dream creature: "One question. I'll answer one question".
Me: "So: what's the scoop on the afterlife?"
Spooky Dream Creature: "Reincarnation. The fundamental secret of the universe is that there's never time to do it right, but always time to do it over.

You know, if you'd thought to ask for lottery numbers that would have done you more good".
Me: "You expect me to have good judgment in my sleep?"

I dunno, shouldn't these dreams be going to someone who uses exotic drugs, or someone deeply spiritual or something?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, thigh holsters! Whoo, that was a lot of hot there.

Hee. I like your weird dreams, Typo. I also like that your dream spirit guides snark at you.

I have very little in the way of rational conversation to contribute because I am all ! over my beloved Mark being back on my screen over at SYTYCD. This show is nuts, y'all.

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

Aargh. Insomnia attack. Stabbity stabbity. Switch off, brain, switch off.

For everybody who enjoyed the Guardian's live blog of the recordbreaking tennis match yesterday - it's the same spirit behind the captions to this picture gallery (the writer isn't credited but it could be Mr. Brooks):

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The sky is this freaky bright yellow to the East now.

It was so bizarre last night. Clear and sunny now though.
