Can we add attacking people and provoking self-defense to the list of things that you just don't do?

Yes, he's the Dalai Papa and he's got a brand new bag of nonviolence.

The Godfather of Transmigrations of the Soul, the hardest working man in samsara.

And, see, there are some things you don't do, even in self defense.

I seriously want to kick in the nuts anyone who would actually say that.

I got an OK pedicure with coral polish, and got grey AND silver polish at CVS, which was both cheap and quick-dry, two of my favorite things.

Also saw The Avengers again, and there were a couple of people in there seeing it for the first time! Also a group of at least 10 little kids who came in late with three adults. As they walked in, the woman said as loudly as possible, "IS THIS THE MOVIE?? DID IT START ALREADY??" Audience: "Yes." Lady: "WHAT TIME DID IT START???" Audience: "11:10!" Lady: "OH! I THOUGHT IT WAS ELEVEN SOMETHING ELSE." A minute later, Lady: "IS THIS THE X-MEN??" Audience: "THE AVENGERS!!" OMG, I thought I was going to kill someone. The kids got settled in really quickly, but only had about an hour and a half in them, after which many of them got up, came back, started talking, etc. Good times.

I'ma go with "If you don't want to be kicked in the balls, don't start fights."

Kicking someone in the balls unprovoked? Definitely Not Okay. But it's not necessarily worse than kicking someone anywhere else.

Sue! I had no idea Nova Scotia was such a magic place: [link]

Sadly, I don't think it's actually a library and a pub...But Nova Scotia is a magical place!

My friends and I were brainstorming a name if I opened a pie shop and we all kind of were keen on The Piebrary for quite a while. (Sadly, I think World of Pie may win out.)

Cap'n Crunch:

I spent the day shooting cats for a music video. A local musician is having a contest where people make videos for a song, and people get to vote. Whoever wins gets a concert in their backyard. We had cats in hipster sweaters and in front of green screens. How can it not be awesome?

Okay then. Hatpin into the eye it is.

You could do both. Otherwise it's kind of a waste of a pointy-toed boot, don't you think?

That's fantastic.

Typo. Should be "ground."

But she made buttons to sell! She has them on her tumblr, telling people she's going to sell them. Has she honestly not noticed this whole time there's a typo, or has the typo attained a life of its own? That is what I'm wondering. That, and if it's too early for ice cream.

Also wondering why I have no pie. But all outside for today is not going to happen. No sirree, big pain time.

Skipping on the other end of shabbat because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is askye's birthday.

Happy birthday, askye! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
