Guinea pigs!!
It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

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

Guinea pigs? Has Matilda's guinea pig reproduced??
I just had a lovely massage, which I could've enjoyed for twice as long. Man. BUT, the awesome thing was she gave it to me for free (because she'd had to reschedule me twice, this was the third try).
Trying to decide if I want to get off the couch now and go to pole dancing class. I feel like I paid for it and I should give it another shot...but another part of me is saying "screw that, I'm relaxed now, and I hated it and why put myself through that?"

FYI: the United Club does not provide free caviar or brie. But the free house red is ok, and there are worse places to be when your flight is delayed...

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Guinea pigs? Has Matilda's guinea pig reproduced??
We just got ourselves a pair - 3-to-4-week-old sisters, tentatively named Marcie and Prubs. I'm still a little nervous about the addition to our budget, but (a) it'll force us to keep things tidier; (b) even just the very short spates of petsitting Matilda's classmate's guinea pig proved conclusively that having critters around is very good for my mental health; and (c) Matilda has been alternately giddy and tearful with joy all day and my heart is squinching up with joy at her joy.

Guinea pigs were the compromise for kitty loving neighbor G ( mentioned on FB) because dad is so cat allergic. They live in harmony (and baby gates) with her brother's ball python and the family lab and labpit.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy birthday, Tom Scola!
