Always Anti-fascist!

Scola, man, it's worse than I thought.Although all that stuff about the academy is funny to me too, as I just commuted to Arizona State...there are no ivy-covered halls in my background.But the idea that my College might have a tenuous relationship to the Agriculture college wouldn't make me show off the sheepskin on TV, either...KO needs to ease up on "be True To Your School". Seriously.

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 greatest laser cat mural in the universe

Yesterday a group of San Francisco artists decorated the front of the boarded-up Harding Theater with the greatest work of LOL-based art the world has ever seen.

Aggressive Panhandler's Andrew Dalton is responsible for spotting this artwork with his laser eyes, and if you want to see more of his photographs of the mural-in-progress and in its finished state, visit his gallery of photos here.

San Francisco map geek Schuyler Erle points out that this isn't the first laser animal mural to grace San Francisco. There is also a laser walrus on Fillmore St.

hip deep in pie

Most of my onerous tasks are work-related, but I was at a mini-conference today, then I skipped put early.

I was inspired to go down in the basement and find the power box for my security system and disconnect it. It started a high pitched whistle @ 12:30 last night and it seems the battery is low. I don't use it, so it made sense to disconnect it. I went online and googled how to do it, and not it's done.

ETA: Actually security system is still on. Back to Google Engineering!

Now tagless for your comfort.

My onerous task is tracking down a babysitter for Saturday night. All the girls seem to be going to the same showing of Harry Potter.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh hey, looks like I'll be doing a story time at an indie bookstore near JPL, soon!

Which is good. Because I have a ton of bat gift bags with bat goodies.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I need to pack for our trip to New Orleans this weekend. Not that it's all that complicated- jeans, t-shirts, underwear, socks and toiletries.(Some in the ever-popular quart bag as we are flying.)
