I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

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

These are different from the minimalist Star Wars stuff I posted a while ago....

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I would love to join Costco -- the amount of money we spend on pet food and cat litter alone is appalling -- but The Boy prefers to do all his shopping at the local, independently owned grocer, to support local merchants.

I admire that, but DAMN pet food is expensive.

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

Mmm. Drinking Ting. Not going to make a habit of it, since it's ridiculously expensive for these wee bottles (in Jamaica they sell it in huge bottles! And they call it a third world country!)

Are my hands ridiculously delicate or do many people have difficulty with those twist off caps that look like beer caps? I can't take them off barehanded. Ouchies. I need thick fabric between me and the cap.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need thick fabric between me and the cap.

Yeah, I generally use something in between my oh-so delicate hand and a bottle top. Napkin, shirt, something.

DAMN pet food is expensive

Last night, I had to get more cat food, and I decided to get the bigger bag of the expensive stuff for the first time (I've been getting the 5-lb. bags since switching over to this brand just because it's so pricey). Twelve pounds of kibble for $36--ouch!!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

And, now lunch is over and I have my afternoon stretch to teach. But, 3 more classes and I'm done for the day and it's Friday! Oh hell yeah.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ok, so Giant Copper Chinese Tank-riding Evil Baby of Death is not blocked from work, however Puppy Bowl lineup is. Okaaaaaay.

Random things

1) I have now tried mochi balls. I am unsure about the texture and consistancy, but I like the flavor and the smell. This has lead to a half eaten one sitting on my desk that I sniff every 10 minutes.

2) Feeling much better today, only now company had layoffs and a mandatory meeting at noon (way to make it really suck company!) Boo.

3) Boss brought in brownies, so there's that.

information libertarian

I got an email from my local PBS station about their counter-Super Bowl broadcasting. Which includes an Audrey Hepburn biopic and some historical 19th century drama that isn't Jane Austen but might as well be. I was amused.

I had to use my jacket to get the Ting open. Sweater wasn't thick enough.

I wonder if casual Friday encompasses cargo pants. It must. There are people wearing t-shirts and running shoes.

Not that I have cargo pants. Or that I even look good in them. But I may have a craving coming on.

I wore the big jeans today. Big jeans are big. ita is adjusting jeans incessantly.
