So apparently LA has a big boulder.

Los Angeles is soon to enter the Guinness Book for largest boulder ever transported in modern times. Yes, a 340-ton, 21 1/2-foot-high granite boulder recently travelled to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art at night, on closed roads at less than 10 mph, led by a police escort. The approximately 85-mile journey, normally a one and a half hour drive, took a circuitous route lasting 11 days! A 456-foot-long, ramp-like slot in the ground, 15 feet deep, runs beneath the monolith, which allows people to walk under it.
Our Giant Silver Bean could kick that boulder's ass.
Heh. The cat's like, "Uh, this ground is MOVING."
FCM:
F = tortuing Hec with cat stuff, because that's just fun
C = post pics of pretty boys, because that's what Tumblr's for
M = complain about grammar misuse, because that never gets old

I bet none of its friends have a rock that big.
Dammit, Jessica. That's my line. I usually get the rock off.

Happy Birthday, Aimée!!!!
I remain tired and my work remains unwilling to pay me to stay home and sleep. I find this state of affairs incredibly irritating. Still, better than so many other situations.
Ugh. Amen. Happy to have a decent income, but where is my winning lotto ticket??
Now I have "don't be fooled by the rocks that I got..." in my head.
Happy birthday, Empress! Today is merely a Thursday for me, but I AM going to see the theatrical version of Mary Poppins with a friend and her two boys, so I am pretty dang psyched.
I'm looking at Usain's tagline on twitter:
The most naturally gifted athlete the world has ever seen
I know this is an issue for some people. I can pretty much run through the whole thing in my head--black athletes are naturally gifted, they're fierce, white athletes are clever, have heart, work to get where they are, etc.
I can never tell from just one sentence (especially without attribution), if it's one of the ones that does mean "oh, and they have so much rhythm besides..." or it's just a thing that's true.
But it does catch my eye.
