It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

bt, did you click on the solo link I posted a few back? I think you'll either like it the most, or find it the most boring and redundant. I hope the spirit in which it's given helps a little.

I had not, but I have now, and I like it. "Go home, evolution, you are drunk." However, it does feel redundant. There are plenty of sites devoted to odd-looking animals (such as my sister's wedding photos on flickr). This really needs an additional reason to justify its existence. The humour, for the most part, isn't sharp enough to do so.

My preference would be for more detail. The anole entry, for instance, was interesting because it wasn't obvious. That's unlikely on a site being played for laughs, though. Another option is given by the pelican picture, which has some photographic interest. (Contrast with the blobfish, which is - in the way of blobfish everywhere - just sitting there.)

I will use this as a segue to spruik Nature's Best Magazine, which publishes some of the best wildlife and nature photography I've ever seen. [link] I feel the latest edition (Fall/Winter - it comes out only twice yearly) exceeded even its usual standards. It also has (which is what brought it to mind) a particularly striking photo of pelicans, which you can find by browsing in the gallery here: [link]

Trust my rage

Does anyone else watch Parenthood?

is there going to be no mention of Drew and the pregnancy/abortion? So weird to have this huge issue and no mention of it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Yeah, it was completely ignored. Granted, we didn't see him at all. But, yeah, we need some follow-up.

Helps to notice that the bag of coffee you just opened is decaf. After 3 days. Explains A LOT.

Remedied.

Stupid Target and their minimalist labelling.

Now to figure out how to get Devi out from under the bed. She was not impressed with sharing the bathroom while I showered and is in High Sulk.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, cranky Devi.

I have decided to be late to work. Because my boss is out and I am moving slooooow. It's weirdly freeing!

Another round of (new!) antibiotics and saline spray (oh, that's a BLAST, let me tell you.)

If it doesn't clear up, next step is knocking her out and xrays, to check for obstructions. Like, tumor. Uhg.

Punishingly Intricate

Meh poor you and Devi!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I decided to be late for work too and went to fast food for coffee and breakfast. Then I proceeded to KNOCK OFF MY DRIVER SIDE MIRROR in the drivethru and was REALLY late for work. Turns out you can't really drive highway speeds with a mirror hanging from the side of your car and the solution of rolling the window down and holding the mirror partially inside = REALLY REALLY COLD!

It's going to get fixed over lunch and cost me almost $200. grrr.
