That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Ack, le nub. That would make me crazy! Not like you need any more stress right now, either.

Yeah, I have an uncle who is Mr. NRA, but he's afraid to go to Kansas City or St. Louis, much less Chicago.

Oh man, this reminds me of my mom's story from when she visited us a couple of years ago. Nashville has a big literary festival every year, held over one weekend in October at the Legislative Plaza. My mom was on a panel and had gotten an email from someone, a fan in Clarksville (about an hour's drive from Nashville), who wanted to come hear her speak. So after the panel that day, at the book signing, this woman comes up and apologizes for missing the panel, because she hadn't been allowed inside the building -- which, let me remind you, is the seat of our state government. Why had she been turned away? "Well, you see, my husband said, if you're going to the big city, you better take your gun!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, obviously. I never go anywhere without one, myself!

Literary festivals featuring Young Adult authors are clearly a hotbed of violence. Those kids today, you know.

NCAA comes out swinging. $60 million in fines (1 year's revenue from PSU football), no bowl games for four years, all wins from 1998 to 2011 vacated.

They're also reducing the number of scholarships and giving current players a lot of flexibility - they can take their scholarship elsewhere, or, if I understand correctly, choose not to play but still keep their scholarship.

That sounds pretty weak, brenda. It’s a far cry from the death penalty they deserved.

Because books.

They talked about the economic consequences of the death penalty on the community, though, and not punishing people who had nothing to do with it.

You have to wonder how well the football program is going to do in the next few years anyway, though, in terms of game attendance, etc.

So a full day later, I am bothered by the violence in Kick-Ass. It only slightly struck me as I was watching it, but hit me later.

Also, f'in Monday. I just do not wanna at all.

I would like very much to bail on work, go grocery shopping and then make a clafouti. Clafouti would make things better.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Clafouti, clafouti, clafouti.

Contractors are here. I get to spend the next 3 days with very loud men speaking a language I don't know and roaming in and out of my apartment freely.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have the exact same experience when my father-in-law is staying here.
