I still have no idea who you are all talking about.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I first saw Adele on Never Mind the Buzzcocks. Half of what I know about popular music, especially British popular music, is because of people who are either on Buzzcocks or made fun of on Buzzcocks.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

But this is the superpower that means I've only heard one Bieber song, so I'm pretty okay with it.

I don't think I've even heard one.

But I bought one of his nail polishes. It's sparkly and purple and I don't even feel much shame about it any longer. Wearing that, I can outsparkle a dewy, virgin vampire.

But I've never heard his music and I'm good with that.

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

But I've never heard his music and I'm good with that.

It's a D/C vid, and it was worth it. I just watched it again, and my face hurts from the dumb grin.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So it looks like we got at least 7 inches of rain in an hour and 45 minutes this morning. Here's a slide show of the flooding [link] I stopped complaining about a few inches of water in my car after I saw the pictures from the Westbank. The pictures of the Garden District are about what I was experiencing/driving through.

Saturday was CJ's big ARP picnic for the team members, family, and friends. About an hour into it they got a call from a local fire department for the swift water team. Due to all the storms lately, the fire department was clearing trees over what is normally a puny river. But, again due to the storms, kayakers were out in droves. They needed the ARP team to turn back the kayakers when they got near to the tree cutting zone.

In cat news, both Miss Kitty and Noodle snuggled me for an afternoon nap. And now that I'm tucked in bed early, I have Miss Kitty beside me and Noodle playing down by my feet. I'm tired, so I hope she will get the clue that play time is over.

Good and bad rescue related news out of Chicago today. Two people died in the annual race to Mackinac Island, the first time in over a hundred years of the race. A crazy storm hit and a lot of the boats were really ripped apart I gather.

In happier news, this [link] went down outside my office today.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

In the last half hour I have said to my cat " you are a cat" I am somewhat easily influenced by the media and cat conjunction. So far I have not said " you are a Matt" to my DH , but it could happen

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good California-legal pocket knife? The one I want seems to be out of stock, and the ones I have aren't carry legal. But I want something with a bigger blade than the one on my keychain.

That having been said, how do guys not carry bags? Where is your stuff? Do you have a TARDIS in your pants? I mean, most of my stuff is gender-neutral--is my urge to carry it (or my willingness) a chick thing? I...just, if I had to start putting that stuff in my pockets I'd feel uncomfortable, be noisy, and never want to sit down in case I broke something.
