I didn't get a flu shot, but all the people I live with who leave the house regularly did, so I should be ok, right?

David, I don't know Kagan's podcast in particular, but he's a big figure on the field. There is a lot of excellent stuff on iTunes U (and sometimes other places like colleges' websites) that can be great for curious amateurs in a variety of fields. Ta-Nehisi Coates has linked to some great free lectures on the Civil War, for example. I worry that with MOOCs colleges will try to monetize all that.

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

"Everybody got their flu shot, right? RIGHT?"

Not me.

Are Osco pharmacies still offering flu shots? Because I probably should get shot....

OK, this is one of the best Oatmeals ever:

When your house is burning down, you should brush your teeth

Neatorama sez:

Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal is always funny and witty, but today he published a comic that is simply brilliant. Read about Domino, a cat from his childhood. Inman's storytelling is perfect. I won't spoil it for you. Go and read.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

That is a great Oatmeal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you're already sad (or are avoiding the sad), you might not want to read the Oatmeal panel. But it is about coping too.

KCDW is here, we gave her CJ's room to pull all the stuff to be laundered. My room will have to wait until I'm done with work.

Work is driving me nuts. People are going crazy with making changes for the new year. Blarg...it wasn't broken, don't fix it.

I should really know better than to read stories about cats while on the phone with customers. Thank heaven for the mute button that I can click when I get to parts that make me cry.

People are going crazy with making changes for the new year.

But how will they justify their existence?
