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

Billytea, I think you've hit upon one of the great cosmic truths. Parenting is a lot like a Kobayashi Maru test. But, I have infinite faith in the Kirk-ness of you.

Hee. As I recall, Kirk passed the test by hacking into the computer program and rewriting it. I suppose this means I should genetically engineer my kid.

I've taken it off and he's asleep in his soft bed next to me, but I won't be able to leave him, or pretty much take my eyes off of him for a couple of days. Those eyelid stitches a so delicate.

Oh my goodness. That sounds exhausting.

“Not dead yet!”

It's not 'Life on Mars', but it it's still good TV.

It was a bit uneven, but the S1 finale was tremendous. The big reveal was rather chilling.

And I'm a whackjob-- I liked both iterations of LOM especially after the American one quit paralleling the UK episodes so closely. The last ten minutes of the last American episode blew chunks but overall, it was entertaining, compared to what we get on TV over here.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

I haven't seen the US version, but I should - the trailer made it look rather fun. I'd be interested to see where they took the story.

This is what I'm saying.

But not so much this.

I trust though, that you will think outside the diaper.

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.

I suppose this means I should genetically engineer my kid.

If you decide to subcontract this, try to get the one that did Bashir and not the one who did Khan.

Much doggy~ma and peace~ma for both you and Bartleby, bonny.

Shir, I'm sorry you are in such a tough situation with your best friend. It really seems off to me that a good friend cannot accept "I do not want to talk right now" as an answer.

Ann, that's a ferret.

bonny, give Bartleby a skritch for us and our cats.

“Not dead yet!”

OMG, I am so, so sleepy. Had an upset stomach all last night and didn't sleep for squat and now I'm sitting here yawning those huge, jaw-breaking, throat hurting yawns.

And I need to get in the car and go run errands. This will not be fun.

Thanks Andi, and

bonny, give Bartleby a skritch for us and our cats.

Done and done, fredpete. He enjoyed it!

He's still sleeping and I've been watching Castle and the Unusuals but I'm running out of teevee and have to work at noon. I'm going to have to either deal with the horror of his bashing the cone or tie him to me.

Much continued ~ma for Bartleby and for you, bonny.

Also continued ~ma for Aims, who I hope we will get news from soon.

Finals are over! Yay! Go away students! (oops, did I say that out loud?)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, I slept a little longer, and my shoulder feels a bit better. Still not great. I'm trying to decide whether I should go into the office this afternoon. There's a bunch of work I really ought to do.
