Love those lightning photos! I want to be a storm chaser.

That reminds me, I have a 3 Musketeers Mint waiting for me to eat it. And digest it. In a totally non-sexual manner.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Nothing crazy, just a flurry of scoring.
Speaking of World Cup. The Daily Show report on the U.S. victory. Definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it.

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

Some photos of the weird-ass yellow sky. And a photo of green clouds!

Interesting games tomorrow. Portugal vs. Brazil, Chile vs. Spain.
If things go the way one would think. The U.S. would be playing Ghana, Uruguay, then Brazil. I think the U.S. should be able to beat Ghana, not an easy game, but they should probably win. They can play with Uruguay, but that'll be really tough. Brazil ... maybe they can get lucky.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, my. Rafa's match is exciting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Somewhere, Perkins just shuddered and doesn't know why.
I do now!
Why would you do that to vodka of all things?
If we were playing things that shouldn't taste like meat, booze would be on the list.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ugh. So people are freaking out about a school in Mass giving out condoms to students 1-12 grades. (Giving out is also kind of a misnomer. They will give them to you, but you have to talk to a nurse or counselor). Anyway, I can see where it's a bit extreme. I can also see that kids are getting pregnant as early as 9.
A friend's response to all this? "They" (I'm guessing the government. Though which government she doesn't specify), should tax parents for the pregnant kid and their baby because apparently only then will they care about what their kids are doing.
I know there are shitty parents in the world who probably truly don't give a rats ass what their kids do, but the majority even of those whose kids get into one kind of trouble or another are probably working as hard as they can to provide for and raise their children. And in this economy when people are working multiple jobs and some families put up with horrid commutes so they can live somewhere safe (if they get that) and affordable. Day care can be prohibitively expensive, and your solution is to tax these people?
Gah!

Everything should taste like meat, if only once. And if only once, that meat should be bacon.
