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

The decapitation thing is just weird:

Police explode pipe bomb near decapitated body

A man walking his dog this morning near an Evanston middle school discovered a decapitated body, perhaps the result of a pipe bomb explosion, and some hours later police exploded a pipe bomb found in the vicinity.

Police pushed the media back from the area after discovering what appeared to be an explosive device near the body, WGN-Ch. 9 reported about 8:40 a.m. Some residents were being evacuated from their homes. The Cook County sheriff's bomb squad was on the scene.

...

On returning home, he said neighbors told him they had heard a loud explosion between 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m. He said police told him they had come out earlier to investigate the sound of the explosion but were unable to find anything at that time.

So the guy was planting a pipe bomb and accidentally blew off his head? Or on purpose? Weird.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hate the term "baby bump" so very much.

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

What's wrong with "baby bump"? I hear a lot of hate for it.

I'm wearing my @@ earrings today. They don't go with my skirt, but they amuse me.

Wait - does each earring have one @ or two?

Also, is "@@ = eye-roll" just a b.org thing?

Each earring is an @.

Yeah. Jesse-started, if memory serves.

My hand is a bit smaller today, but not normal yet. Still bandaged. Typing hurts more.

Can I talk about shoes here, or is that better in Bitches? I really want these (Frye Veronica Slouch, in the saddle): [link] But I'm thinking these from LL Bean would be pretty comparable, and actually sort of affordable: [link] Yes?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes. Also, now I want those. Which is ridiculous, because my wardrobe (especially my winter wardrobe) is so black, on purpose, so I only have black shoes.

Jesse-started, if memory serves.

I think that's true!

Is it often cold enough in GA for boots to be comfortable, flea? I don't wear them much in NC because of temp issues.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, flea, those are beautiful! I love tall boots but my humongous calves create difficulties with them.

I screwed up this morning. I thought my haircut appointment was for today. It's for tomorrow morning.

Tuesday can bite me.
