We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

They also always say 'showing off her baby bump." Um, not really-- she is pretty much just pregnant, and you know, walking around!

Sophia, I totally know what you mean. I think it has to do with the mags obsession with celeb pregnancy. When did pregnancy become a totally IT thing in the celeb world? eta if you scroll through those photos more than half are a celeb with kids. Is it like oh! they are real people! They parent too?

blackberries look much more like raspberries than black raspberries do

You think so? I think blackberries are a whole different shape, even in that picture, though black raspberries tend to be shinier than red ones are. I agree that black raspberries don't really taste much like red raspberries though.

Well, I guess I mean in terms of the size of the non-baby bumps (seeds?). In that picture the black raspberries seem much closer in size to the raspberries. But, when I was growing up, we grew raspberries and had wild black raspberries, which were much smaller. But that was perhaps because they were wild. But, yes, they are shiny.

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

I had an enchilada.

burrrito, tiggy!

Though I'm having a chopped salad. Mmm... salad?

Also, not thinking of modern romances, but of the classical, chivalric questy ones.... would Huck Finn qualify as a romance?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I also cannot explain my complete and utter loathing for the term 'baby bump'. It just seems really invasive and embarrassing, or something.

When I was in England some years ago I first heard "bump" so it always just sounds British to me. (Though I don't recall hearing "baby bump")

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

what are people eating for lunch?

I don't know.

i can't think of a single thing that sounds good.

Me neither.

But I guess I'm leaning towards KFC. Or maybe pasta at the Italian place....
