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

My train was on time but it was packed--maybe lots of people who normally drive took the train today?

Compared to my old boots, my new boots made me feel like a mountain goat when I was walking on uneven, heavily packed snow. I am starting to suspect that fixing things that stress me out is actually a good strategy.

I am starting to suspect that fixing things that stress me out is actually a good strategy.

If you say so.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

In normal times, it is an hour, and they have an indoor bus station now. I like it and I read. There are days, though (mostly when I talk about it) where it is a perfect storm of being late and cold and frustrated. It has actually been better since the bus station because so far they are running buses ever 30 - 40 minutes now instead of every hour!

They have also made improvements in how you board and depart, so that mostly people stay in line (there are metal barriers that force you to be single file. So that is nice.

The one thing I do not understand that they did was put all the buses in bays that are parked diagonally. You would think then that they could all peel off and go forward, but the first bay in line is made so the bus can't go forward, it has to do a really awkward backing up around the bus behind it that seems to require both the driver, and two people directing it. I know this because I am in Bay 2 right behind it, and we always have to wait for it. After that, all the buses can just go right in a line.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I was really disappointed by the article in the NYTImes today about all the supplements that are not actually in the supplements! Where is a person supposed to get the real stuff, then?? Who can you trust??

Those were all store brands, though. I think (though the article didn't say, and I don't have data to point to right now) that brand names are okay. MAYBE.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

[link] so David Oyelowo makes all sorts of great points in this, and does it with humor and passion and all sorts of stuff, and two things:

Thing one: right, that's why I lost interest in Spooks/MI-5 after Danny.

Thing two: please, David Oyelowo, make an audio recording of the phone book.

I may have to seize the cat.

GRE achieved with a score of 166 verbal (about 96th percentile) and 161 math (about 80th percentile). I parked in a deck where the arms were up when I got there, but down when I got out, and I had no swipe card to exit. A kind college student swiped me out.

It's a trap!

Congrats on GRE achievement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good job, Kiba!

I may have to seize the cat.

I really don't intend to ever take that stupid test again.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Congrats on acing the GRE, Kiba! Also on never having to take the stupid test again.

My BF and I just booked a hotel room in London for New Year's. We'd been talking about going back and we decided to just do it. Hopefully in 11 months I can have enough money saved to actually afford it! Yikes. No more non-necessary purchases for a while.
