Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

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.

Also...IS there an Australian Sex Party? ...suddenly I'm sure there's a porn by that name if nothing else.

There is! [link] They have a big honking slowly rotating sign by one of the train stations on my ride home. They're on track to get about 2.5% of the vote in my electorate.

Results are coming in. The conservatives have won government. Bah. At least it's not looking like a rout, as it had appeared to be a few months ago.

Admit it, billytea, you wrote that Wikipedia article just because such a thing should exist!

(Nah, I kid. That'd be a whole lotta work for a mild joke.)

I think if I were to have created that site, it would have touted the Australian Sex Lives Of Animals Party.

Our Prime Minister (Kevin Rudd) is currently on TV conceding defeat, and announcing that he's going to step down as the leader of the Labor Party. That's probably for the best, Labor's greatest handicap over the last three years has been the lack of leadership stability, mainly thanks to his ongoing feud with Julia Gillard. The ALP is going to be best off with new leadership.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Baby is a person. A big old boy baby person.

Ohhhhh. At least now I get who would not want a Wonder Woman onesie. No one I know has had a boy in years!

Shoot -- I can't decide if I should bring my bible for the reading I'm going to do. I printed it out, so it is readable, but I always think it looks slightly cheesy to bring up a piece of paper rather than a book.

Hey, so long as it isn't a damp cocktail napkin.

not your mom's socks.

And who volunteers for suicide in front of their friends and family?

David Brin.

Jesse, the notice in the paper was beautiful. Peace to your family.

Corn Flakes: I hit my tolerance point this morning when a Facebook 'friend' I only know from gameplaying posted one of those "Like This Post and God Will Bless You" posts that got on my last nerve.

I commented "God is not a gumball machine. He will bless you regardless of what you do on Facebook." Which, really, is much less harsh than I could have been, especially when you realize I'm an agnostic with severe reservations about public piety.

However... I didn't know until told that the woman posting was up late fretting about an oncology report, so now I feel like more of a jerk than normal.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I have tea. And I made hash browns, eggs, and toast.

And I'm wishing it could be 75 degrees all day long.
