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

We like the moon
coz it is close to us
we like the moooon!
but not as much as a spoon
'cause that's more use for eating soup
and a fork isn't very useful for that
unless it has got many vegetables
and then you might be better off with a chop-stick
unlike the moon

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Isn't tonight supposed to be the big moon?

That's what I thought, too. Maybe I misunderstood the "Saturday night" thing, where after midnight on Friday it has become Saturday. Hrm.

It'll probably still be big tonight, right?

I'm not going to see the moon: it's all rainy and overcast here.

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

I tried the mug Nutella cake. Except where I don't have any Nutella and I didn't use a mug and I haven't tasted it yet, because it's hot.

STILL. Chocolate cake in a bowl. Numsters. Tummy, be good for the yummy.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, it's tonight that's the full perigee moon.

I know what you mean, Amy. The SO's grandmother is in the hospital, and his brother went to see her and she didn't know him. Sad.

I am right this minute missing a workshop on tea at my local organic store that I signed up for, put down an admittedly small deposit on, and arranged my day around. I had, like, an hour and a half before I had to leave. So I went into the media closet and futzed around with installing the wall panel for our new surround system. I looked up and realized the tea thing was starting, a half an hour away. Oops. Sound geek fail. Oh well, the completed surround sound system will give me more happiness over the long run than the tea thingy. So I guess now I just have to finish, in order to make the lapse worthwhile.

I'm sorry, Amy.

I'm sitting in an airport, waiting for the first leg of my flight. For some reason, they couldn't get me a direct flight home, so my usual 1 hour flight will take 4.5, including the Charlotte layover. Good thing I like flying. And airports, more or less.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I always thought there was a generally understood rule that drums go in the basement where they won't bother the neighbors as much.

Attics also seem to be a popular choice of rehearsal space.

Attics also seem to be a popular choice of rehearsal space.

But in the basement, the concrete and the ground muffle the sound.

For the musicians as well, however.

True, but the entire neighborhood doesn't need to hear them practicing for four hours. I didn't have to put up with this much noise when I was living in an apartment building. (These are the same neighbors who have three big dogs who bark for about twenty minutes straight every morning at 6:30.)
