This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

(He turned down federal stimulus funding for a high-speed rail line between Milwaukee and Madison. As a result, WI lost thousands of jobs and the funding went to CA.)

I'll just point out that he turned down the high-speed rail line, but pitched a royal hissy fit when the feds were like "um, yeah, we'll be taking those funds back then."

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

He's a tea-bagger, right? A tea-bagging wanker? (I just like that image.) I heard that's why he rejected the project (but I hadn't heard he still wanted the money).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I feel confident promising that should you ever visit Melbourne, we will be able to keep our rivers shark encounter-free.

Melbourne is back on the I Should Visit (Because I Won't Fear Nom By Shark) ((More Than Usual)) list.

We have sharks on the street in NYC, too: [link]

I cannot believe I clicked unknowingly on that link.

I can't even cry anymore. Not for her, or my brother, or my dog, or anything. I'm just going about my day, working, doing trivial things, surfing the web, waiting to see what happens next.

Being numb and just getting through it is okay right now.

and sent a bottle I'll never wear again and I know she loves home with Cass the other day.

Is very pretty.

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

Finally, after spending all morning on the phone, my prescription is called in. I feel like enough shit that I don't want to drive, but fuck that. There's only so much of this I can handle and remain rational, and I past that hours ago.

He still hasn't refilled another prescription that has to be mailed in from the UK, so I'm definitely going to run out. Grr.

Amyth, I concur with everyone that says numb is good right now. Process in your own time, later.

That photoretrospective of the gullwings was gorgeous.

A church threatens to hand over a member to Satan if she won't repent for her sin. Her sin was getting a divorce.

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

For those who thought all Australia's wildlife was just waiting for the moment you turned your back... Well, they are, but some of them are just looking for their chance to tidy up after you: [link]
