And one of my two deadlines for today got cancelled, and I am still off the hook for the event my department is working on. In short, I expect to have a good day.
FRIDAY.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aaaand post-tour melancholy commenced about an hour ago. All these new people I said goodbye to and our inside jokes and almost all I'll never see or hear from again!
Ah well, it is what it is. One more day in Cairns, then the hell flights. May e I'll get lucky again?

sarameg - I've so enjoyed your Australia reports.
Nilly and Shir - wishing safety to you and your's.
Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes. Nothing like coming to the b.org on your birthday. Totally mood lifting. In fact, I think that if you are down, you should do the search on Natter for your birthday just to see all the good wishes.
Also: a mysterious work b-day benefactor left me a Lindt Excellence Intense Orange dark chocolate bar in my mailbox. Yum!

Every time Romney opens his mouth - he makes me even happier that Obama won.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I don't know, personally I think having a President who isn't a racist douchenozzle is an *excellent* gift for blacks and minorities!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Apparently a lot of Republicans just want Romney to shut up and go away.

What's wrong with pointing out that Obama won by adopting policies that helped narrow special interest groups like non-whites, or young people, or women?

Apparently a lot of Republicans just want Romney to shut up and go away.
Which would be convincing if they didn't agree with him. And they do. They just don't want this shit publicly aired.
They are disagreeing with him so they can look more moderate in contrast and perhaps save their political futures in 2 or 4 years.

ION, a peculiar argument for vegetarianism.
Meat-eaters lie and commit sex crimes, according to excellent new Indian textbook
"The strongest argument that meat is not essential food is the fact that the Creator of this Universe did not include meat in the original diet for Adam and Eve. He gave them fruits, nuts and vegetables. Non-vegetarians easily cheat, tell lies, forget promises, they are dishonest and tell bad words, steal, fight and turn to violence and commit sex crimes." From chapter entitled "Do We Need Flesh Food?" in a totally scientifically accurate textbook published in India.
