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

Gotta love old-school marketing....

She Knows Home-Delivered Ice Cream Is a Convenience

See, I didn't know that. The wimmins are keeping important information from us menfolks!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, that would be magical, flea! Good luck with the weather.

Congrats, slayer!

Or do we need a separate Schadenfreude tumblr now?

If there's not a fuckyeahschadenfreude already, there really should be.

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

ION, people are using jackhammers to knock down walls and rip up the concrete floor in our building. (They're doing modifications for the new tenants.) But I'm wearing noise-cancelling headphones so I can hardly hear it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Congrats, shadowslayer!

This weekend I'm finishing up Christmas shopping and, weather permitting, flying Sunday. The forecast suggests that weather won't be too cooperative, alas.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

how it's well-known there's a huge, deadly outbreak in California and I am a huge OMG, get your damn vax proponent for the last several years

Mybrotherthedoctor is an infectious disease specialist, and one thing I learned from him over Thanksgiving is that there were about a thousand deaths in the US in the last year (or maybe that's cumulative since the whole anti-vacc thing started, not sure) of young adults who contracted diseases they should have been vaccinated for as children, but weren't. I had thought that the primary risk from the anti-vacc people was to the children who could not be vaccinated because of their age or other medical issues--but no, the children of the anti-vacc people are paying the price for their parents' beliefs.

As for Perkins' question, I'm going to see the new Narnia movie, and maybe The Tempest (Helen Mirren as Prospera, woot!), and having a birthday dinner with my family. Cake and presents!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Friday! What are people doing this weekend?

Me? I'll be running errands Saturday morning, hoping to beat the snow, then staying home to shovel and worry about Daniel the rest of the day plus Sunday.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Does anyone have an easy but DELICIOUS recipe for chocolate cupcakes? The bakery here wants $30 for a dozen so I'mma bake 'em myself.
