I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Bo is adorable.

Pain management is a giant bite in the ass.

He basically told me that Flexeril is only good for helping me sleep. I wanted to say, "Dude, don't knock that as a benefit!"

In dumbest thing someone said to me today, after telling my students I'd be gone Tuesday because I was going to the Olympics one kid said, "Are you in the Olympics?" I laughed long and hard and he said, "there's no reason to be sarcastic." I had to explain I was generally laughing because the thought of me in the Olympics is LUDICROUS.

Nobody's linked to Bo Obama frolicking in the snow? [link]

Oh baby. There's not much in this world more joyous than a dog in it's first big snow.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I realize the average viewer of Spike is not a PhD, but is it really necessary to go into detail explaining that death is a consequence of the decapitation they just showed in gorymation? There aren't people who believe that the bodiless heads of accident victims are out there drawing disability and receiving outpatient care, are there?

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

Now I'm imagining a PSA for kids on the dangers of decapitation....

Sure, your friends may think it's cool, but did you know that 100% of decapitations result in death?

Decapitation. Use your head.

or somesuch slogan....

I love my neighbors. And that isn't just the wine talking. I just got home. Convening (?) a digout party at 11 tomorrow. Hopefully will shame a few more into helping.

Why is Loki being so needy after I left him for the evening after spending the WHOLE DAY with him?

I want the snow melting machine. Really really want.

Can I say again how much I love my neighbors? Since our houses are all alike,we have the same paranoia. Two of us heard water dripping. Owner raced upstairs, just a faucet not all the way off. We all twitched. Huge gust of wind and a thump, all went running to the windows. And then medicated with wine and a laugh. My people.

How did I get so freaking lucky??

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I don't know, but it's adorable, and happy making.
