Because books.

Burrell, how long will you be here? I wish I could see you! The forecast says snow is possible on Saturday, and it is supposed to be cold -- low 30s, high 20s -- just FYI.

Lisah, I'm crying. It was the incoherent ubidahgabba right after the 5minute break.

There was a house that had emus and ostriches in my brother's old neighborhood in Texas. Ostriches were ok, but the emus regularly escaped and would chase the neighborhood dogs. But the emu farm near my parents, those emus are nice. I think they think they are burros(they are raised with burros.)

Watching that when you have a head cold is very difficult, because congestion and coughing making laughing yourself breathless very problematic.

Ah crap. I just caught and released a mouse. Far away in the field where nature can take its course.

But it was not the mouse I saw the other night, this was a (fuck) baby.

They're ignoring the traps.

Loki is getting nightlyfield trips to the basement. (Pumpkin would get somewhere inaccessible.)

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

Huh. I just calculated how much it costs me to get to Tai Chi by various means including driving my own car, and unless I include costs of depreciation and registration and so forth (ie fixed costs that I would have to get rid of the car entirely not to have) driving is actually the cheapest option. Using my actual average fuel costs/mile and AAA estimate for maintenance costs/mile. I am surprised.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Re emus - remember, these are the birds that essentially won a war with the Australians.

SLANDER.

Here's the documentary.

Oh God that was almost unwatchable. I mean, it was hilarious, but IT'S PRONOUNCED EE-MYOO, NOT EE-MOO.

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

20 posts behind in Natter, and it's all cold weather and the academic capability of emus.

I love you people. Good grief. I forgot what else I was going to say.
