The best way to kill spiders is having your husband squish it with a shoe and then flush it down the toilet while you hide in another room.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So you know that comic that has the "Clean all the things" thing called Hyperbole and a Half? Here is a good one that many Buffistas might relate to:

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
My friend Lawrence is like Super Caver Guy. Like, 4 day trips into the belly of the beast, hard-core rappelling, teeny spaces, bat-tracking caver dude.
He is a short, wiry guy, so he can really get into crazy small spaces. But he is BUILT. He had his kids into caves from about 1 year on. He's seen some pretty cool stuff.
I, however, like seeing the pix, but caving is not for me. Open caves are fine, but I've tried wiggling through spaces, and my boobs and my mind are not built for claustro spaces.

Awkward First Day Of School Pictures
A collection of the most uncomfortable, miserable back to school pictures I could find.
I dunno - in some of the pictures the kids were happy. What's up with that? I was promised misery!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I totally zoned out at the burger place today and didn't notice them call my order. Luckily the guy beside me knew what I'd ordered, and gave me a heads up.
Wait, hello? Why do you know what I ordered? Weird much?

Just bought my books for the fall. Three textbooks, totalling $185. Ugh.

I like small spaces (hiding under a desk has often looked like a very comforting idea) but only if tree is a large space outside. So as a ki I read about these cupboard beds some scandanavian types used to have, and thought it was awesome, but caves would not work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Sorry to everyone here who just received a spam message from my old hotmail account. Argh.

Take a look at this Google Trends page for "bed bugs". [link] Damn, there's been a huge jump just in the last few months.
Somewhat relatedly, Google's New York office has bed bugs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's so weird -- I couldn't read the Times article last week or whenever about bedbugs, but apparently they ("They") have no idea why they suddenly had this huge resurgence over the past few years? Bananas.
My nice coworker gave me a nice ride home! Too bad we only decided on the way to the T which I thought would be more convenient for her, so we went a stupid way and it kind of took forever. But nice! And good to talk.
