We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Tom! I hope something as nice as a Scola Smile happens to you today.

Count me in among the exhausted. I figured out too late last night that I should have taken an Ambien, so sleep was rather non-existent.

I actually made a Google calender appointment for tonight to take one. I hope that works.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks, Hec.

My biggest problem today is I am completely drained, yet I need to get started on housework and grading, and the sooner the better. But I think I'll take a bath first.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds like a great event, Burrell! Take a little time to recover, why not?

I need the time to recover, I just forgot to build any free time into my schedule.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad things went well, Burrell.

Happy birthday, Tom!

I'm working at home today. Which is good--the weather's lovely, if chilly, so I was able to take the cat for a walk at lunch and I'll be working from the sofa this afternoon. Things have been super busy, so it's nice to have a low key day. Or at least one where I can swear at the monitor out loud.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have people been following this? Notorious porno copyright trolls Prenda Law have a very bad day in court - Boing Boing

What they would do is accuse someone of illegally downloading porno (that was protected by copyright) and force them to settle to avoid an expensive and embarrassing lawsuit. But apparently it's just a bunch of lawyers working for themselves (via a fake client).

From the article referenced in the link:

"the responsible lawyers for a law firm conducting litigation before a court have refused to explain that litigation to the court on the grounds that doing so could expose them to criminal prosecution."

IANAL, but this is very unusual, no?
