take a minute to reflect on how your life has changed in the last eight years.
Hmmm, moved back to my hometown to an apartment I like but don't love like the one from 2004, 28 lbs. lighter and feeling much, much healthier (the 85-hour-workweeks in early 2004 triggered my blood pressure problems and a 40 lb. weight gain over a few weeks in March/April). Still single, still thankfully have both parents in good health, still have the same job with much less stress and much less money.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
hmm. I moved apartments, left a job with a CRAZY boss to work for a CRAZY big!Boss, who got fired, then worked for a mildly paranoid boss, and now seem to have an OK one. I had a cat try to kill me, and later I got a pre-declawed cat who pees everywhere. I STILL work for the theatre, but am getting better at focusing on the students.

Heh. Am finally changing my tagline in honor of this:
We love the apocalypse as long as nobody acknowledges the truth: It's not a mythical event. We live on top of one.

I read that one - unfortunately the pictures of horned helmets next to every time the word "Vikings" came up did not fill me with confidence in this article's historical accuracy.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Vikings didn't wear horned helmets? How do you explain the Minnesota Vikings and Hagar the Horrible?

Ceremonial use of horned helmets during the Germanic Iron Age persisted until the 7th century and can thus be argued to may have overlapped with the early Viking Age. However, there is no evidence that horned helmets were ever worn in battle at any point during the Viking Age.
Nevertheless, popular culture came to associate horned helmets strongly with Viking warriors. The popular association probably arose in 19th century Swedish Romanticism, possibly by misattribution of Bronze Age images such as the Grevensvænge figurines. A 20th-century example of this association is the Minnesota Vikings football team, which as its logo carries a horn on each side of the helmet.

Yeah.
It's been well-documented in thousands of newspapers across the country that even Hagar's dog wears a horned helmet....
