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

Huh.

Also, hooray!

And is it like chai squared?

Nerd! No, it made me laugh, because many articles that I edit cite the Chi square test. (And it's a testament to how ingrained the style manual is that it made me twitchy to type it as "Chi square," rather than a Greek chi symbol and a superscript 2.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

No matter how awake I am, really not down with being at work before sunrise. Gnergh.

Today is my last day of the cat sitting that requires me to be at another person's house between 6 and 6:30 am and pm. Which is good because I'm so over it.

I worked with a person who went on a Starbucks run and came back with a Pumpkin Spice Latte for me because they didn't "understand" my order. I asked for coffee. Just coffee. I'm thinking that encouraging her to apply for the job in Tucson that she starts today was genius on my part. Because seriously, I asked for coffee. How hard is that?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

To be fair, on Saturday I went to Starbucks and ordered coffee, no sugar or cream, and they got it wrong. So it's apparently a confusing order.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I once tried ordering iced coffee from one person at a Starbucks ... and got iced black tea.

clearing the way for such marriages to proceed in Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

There are some very perplexed people in Utah this morning trying to figure out how they can stop this abomination from occurring in their Mormon paradise. And this occurred the Monday after the semi-annual Mormon Conference, where the church hierarchy gives out its marching orders.

Cincinnati is so close to Indiana (a 20- to 30-minute drive, depending on where in the greater Cincy area you're coming from), I hope to see a bunch of people getting married in Indiana soon, since Ohio is still dragging its feet and resisting the homomentum.

I stole it from Shakesville, to give credit where credit's due.

I want to be surprised by this but I'm really not.
