Woo! Apple just sent me a shipment notice for the laptop, with a FedEx tracking number which does indeed have actual tracking information when I click on it.
Apparently you CAN ship a computer next-day to Cincinnati from The Rift.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Unrelatedly, I'm editing something on genetics that uses the word "mendelian" (as in Gregor Mendel). The AMA style guide says it should be lower-case, but then goes on to say that editors should defer to -- specifically -- "the latest edition of Merriam-Webster."
Which, naturally, capitalizes it.
I am in a quandary.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Kitty can't get the box open, so it drags a human's hands to the box with its teeth to get the human to open the box. I've never seen a cat do that....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now, that's a cat who knows how to use tools.

Punishingly Intricate
hilarious! Also that cat has markings strikingly similar to my Uncle Bud's!
Man, both my work AND Bob's work are driving me nuts today. The downside of being partnered up, I guess.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
From waaaay back - that picture of the two Starbucks was pre-airing of the new BSG. And those who have less than warm fuzzy feelings about Dirk Benedict, it may have been because of this essay he wrote: [link] Here's one colorful quote: "Men hand out cigars. Women `hand out' babies. And thus the world, for thousands of years, has gone round."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What? Why the hell wouldn't you capitalize it? I look askance at you, AMA style guide.

Unsurprisingly, I totally agree.
I look askance at you, AMA style guide.
I have already given it the stinkeye.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cat Opening a Box
As stupid as Perkins the cat is, he does something very similar when he want to get fed or played with, but he uses his paws instead of his teeth.

Did you guys know that sinus headaches are actually migraines?
Oh my fucking G-d, yes. Gnng.
I found TT because of a (former) friend of mine who used to post there.
Plei, it is so weird to think back to that Goth Thrifting day and realize that we hadn't talked much before that.
