To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

No, not really a punch line, a related one-panel comic.

Like Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Which it reminds me of, a bit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am constantly getting zapped by static electricity. I feel like a puppy getting bopped on the nose, except I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be learning. Not to leave my house, maybe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My skirt is all staticked up. I forgot it can pretty much only be worn with panty hose.

I seem to be vacillating between being cold and overheating. And my head hurts like a bitch. I really want to go home. I wonder if I should call it a day early today and make it up during the rest of the week.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, is there anything more sleepy-making than a sleeping cat on your lap? I vote no.

Nerds in the Wild update. Politics has come up. After a few riffs on Sarah Palin and Tina Fey on SNL, they're talking about George Bush and Will Ferrell.

Nerd 1: Well, if Bush was on, someone would throw a shoe, and he'd duck.

Nerd 2: Whatever else you might say about him, Bush has good reflexes.

Nerd 1: He has to. He had a vice president who shot people in the face.

I vote for the pattering of rain dripping onto broad leaves. Knocks me right out. And I don't just say that because the cat will steal your soul as you sleep.

Actually, I get that with a lot of noises -- the pile driver outside my old office kind of put me to sleep, too. It was muffled by the time you got to my interior office, and totally rhythmic.

But it is time to get up! Sorry, cat. (Oh, that's the other thing with the cat -- the trapped-ness.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

(Oh, that's the other thing with the cat -- the trapped-ness.)

Mine's always guaranteed to jump on top of me for snuggles just as I'm getting ready to get up to go to the bathroom. And, she usually managed to land right on top of my bladder for full painful effect.

Watching Private Practice. It's dropped me unconscious as if I were clubbed over the head every time I've tried to watch an episode.
