We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

The good news is that Charlie was concerned about Dita's welfare.

Awww, Charlie has her back!

I have a sentence diagramming question:

How would you diagram any piece of dialogue?

For example, "'I cannot fathom why anyone might care,' she said."

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

My brother just stopped by for a brief visit. He's convinced he's got cancer and complained the whole visit. Really? I mean, I agree he's not healthy, but now seems like a great time to let go of his imaginary cancer.

It's chilly this morning! I'm not running the a/c and my house is cooler on every floor than it has been in a month! I'm unreasonably giddy. And possibly need to put on more garments.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

OMG, some people are all worked up over how Wills and Kate put the baby in the car seat: [link] Keep reading until you get to Diana references.

And fully half the comments on this article are "Ow wow those people are assholes! But seriously, the car seat is buckled wrong."

Because books.

Also, how creepy?

I don't know. Some of them look oddly comfortable -- like, if you didn't tell me they were strangers, I wouldn't have known.

The A/C is off! It's nearly chilly out there. I am so happy.
