That's actually pretty cute. And no irritating t-shirt rolling or bunching. Hmmm.
I am intrigued by the chemise. I wonder how long it is.

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

Thanks. My sister and her gf are going to meet my parents at the hospital today. The doctors will decide today if my dad needs to go to a nursing home to recover, so I'm waiting to see how that goes....

Yay Perkins!

Does anyone have any recommendations for podcasts to listen to at work. I have listened to the entire archive of This American Life and Fresh Air. I think I just want more This American Life.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Radio Lab! I love Radio Lab.
That reminds me - I think I successfully recorded that City Arts and Lectures with Ira Glass and also the broadcast of the Spelling Bee for Cheaters (I haven't listened to them yet, they may be full of dropouts or end after 30 seconds or something, I don't know for sure). If anyone wants an mp3 of either, drop a note to my profile address.

The Stoop! [link] ( you can listen online or go get it from iTunes.)
Yes, it is Baltimore-centric, but...
I also like Snap Judgment, which just started airing in my market. [link] (Their main site is snapjudgment.org, but is down at the moment.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Most of the podcasts I listen to are skeptical/science/tech/parenting or some combination of those. The two I can recommend that are more general-interest are "My History Can Beat Up Your Politics" (most eps take a current American political issue and put it into historical context - I've learned more about US history from this guy than the entirety of my high school education) and "The World's Technology Podcast" which focuses on how people are using technology to solve problems around the world with a special focus on developing nations.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've listened to Selected Shorts in the past, which is short stories. Currently in my rotation are Wait Wait, Pop Culture Happy Hour, A Way With Words, and I'm trying to get into WTF, but there are too many of them! Given the Fresh Air.
