The Gay Blade was a lawnmower, circa 1958.
My work's illegal, but at least it's honest.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Hil!
So, here's the definition of a pop culture institution: I just saw a review of Skyfall. I don't know that I've ever watched a James Bond movie all the way through. And yet? I have the classic theme song in my head now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday Hil!
my parent company is in a state of total chaos and panic this week.
Whoa, I heard about that on BBC World News on NPR back in October when the focus was on Savile. Sounds like it exploded into a mess.

This morning has been chaotic, with me barely able to wake up and the kids lolling in bed and missing the bus, but DH has been the total hero. He got up and made me coffee so I could make the lunches, and he's the one driving the kids up the hill to school. Yay for DH!
Now I need to make another pot of coffee so I can grade.

Happy Birthday Hil!
Hey, more details about how Broadwell got caught with her computer stalking nonsense.
What I'm getting from this is that SNL should do a skit about Jill Kelley being the new Mango. Two different people became inappropriately obsessed with her in a short period of time.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
And now so do I.
Ayup. It's competing for space with the Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack. (Speaking of which, if you are in any way a fan of the original stage show, you MUST check out the director's cut which restores the original ending. My heart just breaks for the puppeteers and other fx people involved in this film, I knew they'd been forced to change the ending at the last minute but I had no idea just how much material had to be thrown out.)

The people I have been reading think there might not be much to the Allen stuff. But we will see. The FBI has a lot of explaining to do though. Way too much surveillance and for what?

Dog update: He did really well! Some complaining when he was first put in the crate, but he quieted down pretty quickly. Very, very pathetic whimpers, though.
I still didn't sleep as well as I could, because of nerves, and then I got up at 6:30 to take him out. I mostly convinced him that we could sleep a little more, so I put an old comforter out on the floor.
Mostly, though, he is very energetic and does not understand why I won't just spend my entire day walking him. He needs a yard and kids to run around with.
Animal Control opens at 9, so I'm heading out in about 20 minutes to drop him off.
