On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

They are great with linguine and garlic.

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

BTW, yesterday I discovered that changing the litterboxes is much more pleasant if you put Vicks Vaporub under your nostrils first.

Heh. I just breath out of my mouth.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shoe-shopping dilemma! I need new boots -- knee-high, black, can wear to walk a mile where there might be some ice. I think I want these: [link] BUT I have a $10 or $15 certificate for DSW, so I feel like I should check there first. But is there really going to be a better deal than those Clarks? And they say they only have one pair left in my size.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Is it really possible for 11 hours of sleep, 1 dose of a-b's, and some cough syrup to realy make THIS much of a difference? I don't feel 100%, but I feel about 50% which after four days of about 2%, feels like 100%. Strange.

Because books.

Hey, I think I have those boots, Jesse! They look just like the black Clark's I have, anyway. They're super comfortable. And Clark's last really well.

Yeah, Aims, the right antibiotic can seem like magic. Hooray magic!

And Amy, I totally have to buy them, right? OH WAIT. If nothing else, I can hang on to them until I get to DSW to return if necessary. Good times.

for $15, I say get the Clark's. You can go to DSW this week, and if you finds something, return them.

Anybody else watch Jeopardy with Watson? I found its ability to understand some of those questions pretty stunning.

Ah, so that's what my aunt and cousin were on about this morning. Apparently, she's rooting for Watson over Ken.

I did, Gud. It took a while for the two contestants to even make it on the board. It was really pretty amazing.
