I thought the fact that he was a strict vegan was part of the rationale behind his bombings, Hil. Because the corporations were suspected of involvement with animal testing? At least that was part of one of the releases I read.

I'd say being a vegan was another thing coming out of the rationale, not the rationale itself. And it just seemed really odd to me to mention his diet before mentioning the actual reason he's on the list. Like, as extra information later on in the article, sure, but it's the first piece of information they give about him.

Somewhere I saw a video of some guys who set a Tickle Me Elmo on fire while it was laughing. Funny and cathartic.

When I was in grad school I had a Tickle Me Elmo hung from a noose in my office. You could punch him three times in the stomach and he go into giggling death throes. It was awesome.

Scrappy, I am sorry for your loss.

My friend's dad died today from a long and nasty bout with cancer. It's a blessing, really. I didn't know his dad very well, but my heart grieves for my friend.

"If you have a person you suspect of being Mr. San Diego, try offering him eggs and bacon for breakfast. If he eats them, you can be assured, he is NOT Mr. San Diego"

I need a new swimsuit. I'm thinking its time for Esther...

I'm thinking a Classic Sheath

Trudy, Lands End is having a really good sale on swimwear right now, and they have a suit almost exactly like the Esther one: [link]

I just ordered this one, in black: [link]

If anyone's ordering from Lands' End, I usually have a free shipping code.

I think they're having free shipping right now, although it's only for a few days, IIRC. (I'm envious of your free shipping code!)

t edit No, that might just be a special deal they e-mailed me.

If you're on their mailing list, they generally have free shipping offers that they pass out like candy.

Damn pimps. That's how they got me. I mean, I did need a new swimsuit, and the sale is a good sale, but the words "free shipping" always get me.

I am a genius! I figured out how to download free .txt files of books and convert them to a format that I can read on the eBook reader on my iPod, and then transfer them to my iPod! (OK, maybe not genius. But person who can figure out confusing and contradictory instructions, anyway.) It's not perfect -- the original book had the title at the top of each page, and that got preserved through all the conversions, even though the pagination is different, so I end up with the book title showing up every few iPod pages in the middle of the page, but that's dealable.

Technology is neat.

OK, and now back to reading silly books when I should be sleeping.
