"Oh, this is really unfortunate."

Heh.

Hey, did people know the guy from Revenge is British? I just saw him on Ellen. And by "the guy," I mean the rich boyfriend, what's his name?

Also, if I start test-baking this weekend, for a party that's a month away, cupcakes should freeze OK, right? I won't frost them or anything.

JZ, my head feels a lot better, thanks. The whiplash is going to be the more persistent problem, but I have an appointment at noon with my chiropractor. The dog is beyond stinky still. I don't think getting her un-stinkified is going to be a home job, but she's the least of my worries.

Honestly, I'm just really glad it wasn't worse.

Is there any case where a blasphemy law is a good thing?

Some person on Slashdot sez:

When a statue in Mumbai began to miraculously drip tears, huge crowds began to gather, pray, and collect the water in vials. Sanal Edamaruku has exposed such bogus miracles before, and when he was called in, his investigations showed that it was nothing more than a nearby drainage. The entire investigation was caught on tape. The priests were outraged and demanded an apology. When he refused, a case of 'blasphemy' was registered at the police station and they now want to have him arrested.

Hee! It's like Giles turning into a Fyarl demon and busting shit up because he has no idea of his strength!

Emmett is actually having this problem as he doesn't seem to know how to get his Fully Enlarged Grew Six Inches and Put On 15 Pounds of Muscle self through the kitchen doorway without knocking off tiles or bouncing off the door frame.

San Franciscans--I'm meeting some friends in the Mission for dinner, and we decided to meet a little earlier for drinks. Where should we go?

I will also be in the Mission for dinner! Maybe we will run into each other. That happens in the Mission.

Speaking of unfortunate events, I just finished reading the first Lemony Snicket book, and I liked it but I don't think I'll be reading it again. So if someone would like to give it a new home, e me and I'll pass it on.

The series doesn't really pick up for a few books. It's a little repetitive at first, but then it develops a series arc, and it's great fun.

French Hotel Lets You Live Like a Hamster, Because That’s Clearly What You’ve Always Wanted to Do

If you’ve long fantasized about living as a hamster, then have I got a hotel for you! The Hamster Villa in Nantes, France simulates the full hamster experience. Guests get furry hats and tails, an exercise wheel, a bed of hay and water from a fountain.

I dunno... I could see living like a hamster for a few minutes....

Guests get furry hats and tails

I think "furry" is the operative word here.

Lee,

it was you, yes?

I fucking love "Scandal."

If "Scandal" and "Revenge" could be on the same fucking night, back to back, it would be my fun trash nirvana. Seriously. That would be an inspired double header.

Because it is Shonda Rhimes, I'm giving the show the side-eye for awhile. I liked Grey's too until Season 2.
