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

Did Boehner get over whatever his latest thing was, or did they put him in a box and let Reid sit on the lid?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Catching up from Thursday
Am I too late to be outraged at Kat's UCLA parking experience? Because I am.
For those of you worried about relatives getting older, I can tell you that, from the inside, it's scary. My body doesn't work the way it used to, I have pains that I didn't have before. I can't move as well or as fast as I used to.
AMEN. Also, on a very shallow note--can't do Vegas (or drink) as well as I used to.
And I just got back from the eye doctor; I've faced reality and I'm moving on scheduling cataract surgery.
Fingers crossed for you! This is one of my fears for my upcoming eye doctor appointment.
I'm really not happy with his constant willingness to let the Republicans be shitbags who are damaging this country severely.
Again, amen. The country was so screwed up when he came into office, I didn't expect much, but I was hoping he would attempt more.
Oh, Maria, I am so sorry the universe has been so shitty to you and yours. Health and Fuck Cancer-ma.
I am so sorry about the diabetes diagnosis, Le N. I hope you get it under control as quickly and easily as possible.
I counted "doing laundry" and "folding laundry" as separate to-do items. That may be cheating.
Yeah, not so much, as several people pointed out.
Sounds like an awesome trip, shrift! Yay! Now we plan for Hawaii?
I like to eat lunch at my desk. The internet isn't going to read itself!
Exactly!
Barcelona is definitely one of the places I want to visit.
Had an AWESOME time in Vegas, apart from one Friday morning, which was spent recovering from drinking way more than I should these days the night before. Luckily I had Plei with me, and she ran out and bought coffee and gatorade and advil and other stuff. Also loved seeing Cashmere and had a great time with both of them especially last night, when we went back to the great sushi restaurant Plei and I went to on Friday (the taxi stand guy at the hotel told us about it), and then excellent chocolate martinis.
Now home, and am catching up on my reality TV.

Oh, no, Pix! Geek out! Please.
Guys, i xposted in Tech, but I'm bubbling with geeky joy. Ripped self away from resume writing to hie to Wal-Mart this afternoon, and we bit the bullet and got a Nook Color -- shared -- for our bdays. (Dan's was Friday, mine is 8/23, but my mom always pre-gifts -- she's got the "can't wait" gene, and she knew we wanted $$ for a reader.)
IT'S SO COOL.
So cool.

Barcelona is on my "to visit" cities! I really need to go. My Spanish won't hack it, but I figure the ocean/sea will be worth it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Le n, you don't really need to speak Spanish. I've been there three times and don't speak Spanish.

Besides, they're pretty hard core about their Catalonian. So if you're like me, you never know what someone's speaking to you anyway.
(Also, I think I've only been there twice. Don't know why I thought three times.)
Okay, I need to do dishes (including three, three! pans with stuck-on food), scoop the cat pans, and take out the trash. My reward is watching last week's Leverage. Ready, set, go!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Don't know why I thought three times.
Clearly, looking ahead to f2f Barça.

Honestly, there are a number of places in Europe I haven't seen or have only seen once that are higher on my list. But that list right now is about as hypothetical as the infamous laminated top 5 on Friends, so...
