Wishing you fast recovery, Strix!
We had a barbecue yesterday afternoon. Two of The Girl's friends from law school came over. Future lawyers can drink. I am a teensy bit hungover.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I am feeling kind of run down this morning, blecch, despite going to bed early and only working six hours yesterday. I guess my body is still not quite back to normal.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Woot! Something new to add to my podcast list. BTW, have I mentioned here how much I love the Stitcher app? Groups together all my podcasts. Much love.

I love it too! All the Max Fun comedy shows in one place.
I loved Greg Proops when he was on Whose Line Is It Anyway in the 90s. I'll have to check out his podcast.

Do you all like Stitcher better than Downcast (which I love on my iphone). The gesture features alone are worth the price of admission.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Burrell, have you had the cat checked for a UTI?
Now that I think of it, she started the peeing originally because of a UTI, but that was treated months ago. I wonder if that's what got her started on this pattern? Another thought I had was maybe this recent spate was triggered by Burrell's passing.

Haven't heard of that one. Worth checking out? My one complaint with Stitcher is that not enough of the podcasts I like are available on it.

Downcast is the bomb.
You can search for podcasts if you have an Internet connect and subscribe to the ones you like. Then on a schedule you determine it updates the podcasts and auto downloads new ones if you want it too.
It will not download on a 3G or 4G connection unless you tell it to.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
I need some quick editing advice. In my small town, they have a page in the newspaper with pictures of all of the graduates and small ads placed by family and friends. In my ad for my daughter, I'm quoting an excerpt from a poem but the words are taken from the middle of a phrase so I had to use ellipses at the beginning and the end. I've italicized it to indicate it is a quote. It looks like this:
...quick brown fox...
I just got a proof that shows the layout people added quotation marks - but only to the end. Is that right? Given the informal context, do I need quotation marks and if I do, shouldn't they be at the beginning and end?
I know this is a strange thing to obsess about but focusing on details in times of stress is kinda my thing.

le nubian, I'll have to take a look at it. Sounds like it might do well where iTunes does not.
The great thing about Stitcher is that it's streaming rather than downloading. Useful when your phone memory fills up too fast.
