I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I want to go shopping, but no idea what for and really I don't think I need anything.

I think that somewhere around the time Nixon was elected we became the universe where Mr. Spock will have a goatee. Clean-shaken Spock will occur in the alternate timeline we are not fortunate enough to live in.

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

West Hollywood has a decent strip of Cyrillic signage. I was just reading bout them in the West Hollywood papers.

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

Dana, I'm sorry you're going through all that.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hmm, I could walk there. Of course it is bucketing rain, so not RIGHT NOW.

Yelp likes Robert's Russian Cuisine in Hollywood, and Traktir in West Hollywood.

Comments also like Red Square in the Valley and Cafe Troyka.

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

Predator teams up with the Ninja Turtles in deranged Russian children's books

In a series of beautifully ugly (and tenuously legal) Russian kids' books, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles meet "Space Hunter," a crab-faced alien with dreadlocks. They fight at first, but the creatures later reconcile and enjoy poorly drawn pizza together.

Here are some illustrations from the Turtles' team-up with the Predator, plus some sundry pictures I found noteworthy (Russian Batman). You can check out tons more ridiculous/awesome Russian TMNT art here. There's some pretty metal artwork of the Turtles battling Greek gods, waving handguns around, and generally looking like sentient globs of creamed spinach.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The guy on this PBS grilling show just said, with a straight face, that the three rules of great grilling are: "Keep it hot; keep it clean; and keep it lubricated."

Art Crawl!!!

Okay, I slept in toooo much and didn't make the timeframe for me to get to the Sec of State's office and get my learner's permit, i.e., take the written test.

But, usually when I "over" sleep - my back bothers me but this time it doesn't so I must have slept just right rather than over sleeping, right?
