Happy day after your birthday, CaBil.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh yeah, happy birthday belated, CaBil!

Thanks Tommy. It could have stayed belated, yesterday was one of the big ones.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Lots of people having trouble in Chicago it looks like because they redrew the wards so people's polling places changed and the Board of Elections website is down.
This might be worth tweeting and otherwise social-mediaing around: [link]

If we're lucky, maybe the OH SoS used taxpayer dollars to travel to a GOP Voter Suppression Meeting too.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Oh sweet Jesus, that issue with the touch screen registering for Romney, even though the voter was choosing Obama that went viral earlier today? In the same county where we have the restaurant. Which is overwhelmingly Republican. I was inclined to think it may have been a calibration error, but now... ugh. I know these people.

Snagging free wifi in Brisbane. Luckily got to share a 4 seat row with random Canadian dude who'd been bumped from business, so the attendants were attentive and we got pleasantly sloshed. Cause he kept "and another for her, too " That took care of at least 8 of 16 hours!
Yay for fun to talk to row companions! Yay Australian wine! 4 more hours travel Uhg.
