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

An issue has been fixed that caused Unicorns to lose their special powers when using the Make All Happy cheat.

So this is no longer the way real unicorns work.

Because books.

I should have been playing The Sims, I guess. I had no idea there were magical laundry bears and unicorns.

I would like a magical laundry bear, please.

I am so. tired. I was up from 2-4:30am. I work until 9 tonight and then have a big stressful work event tomorrow morning. And a big stressful school volunteer event Friday morning. Wah.

I wonder if there's a money-making opportunity in being a person who acts like a crazy neighbor or mutters about the drains to scare off other buyers.

When Amy and I first came out to Utah and were sharing an apartment, the landlord sent over a couple of people. We each had single bedrooms that were supposed to be doubles, so we were not wanting roomies. Fortunately, the upstairs neighbors had decided that evening was a great time to start aerobics workouts. Much laughing and loud music from upstairs.

The potential roomies looked up, appalled. "Yeah, they do that a lot," I said gravely. "Sometimes it seems like every night," Amy added.

We watched the ceiling lamp vibrate as the floor above bounced. "I try not to sit under there," I said. Amy managed to hide her snicker.

The roomies didn't move in.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist

Analyzing the data, Gibson found that each treatment diet, whether it included gluten or not, prompted subjects to report a worsening of gastrointestinal symptoms to similar degrees. Reported pain, bloating, nausea, and gas all increased over the baseline diet. Even in the second experiment, when the placebo diet was identical to the baseline diet, subjects reported a worsening of symptoms!

Our wings are not tired.

Perfect timing! And you didn't even have to pay them.

That is a great house, flea.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity May Not Exist

I read that earlier. It's not exactly medical news that FODMAPS can cause GI problems, but it's interesting that gluten might just be one of a handful of problematic foods.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I overheard a student on campus saying something like, "Yeah, I'm tired all the time, and my hair is all dry. Maybe I should stop eating gluten."

My eyes are leaking and so is my nose. Trees! Why you gotta be doing this to me?

I slept in and then dragged myself into work because I have a Situation that needs wrangling.

Neko Case was great last night. And then we went to a bar after to watch the rest of the Blackhawks game. A good evening all around.
