Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

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

Embroidered Kanye West Tweets

Amy Sheridan sells lovely but subversive embroidered items in her Etsy shop, including Kanye West Tweets, preserved for all time in framed embroidery. Her entire existing inventory sold quickly, and Sheridan issued a message about ordering one.

I love her message (she could be a Buffista):

I’m currently accepting a limited number of orders for tweets (**not for the holidays**) – if it’s sold out in the shop, but your life won’t be complete without it (**not for the holidays**), send me a message and I would be happy to add you to my queue (**not for the holidays**)… queue is a funny word, isn’t it? I mean, that last “ue” is kind of extraneous, isn’t it? I guess the first one is, too, since it’s pronounced “Q”… anyway, where was I? Oh, right, I’m a middle child and a people pleaser, and I really hate disappointing people, so basically, if you ask nicely, you’ll probably end up with one (**not for the holidays**).

Oh, and in case I haven’t mentioned it, there is absolutely no way I can guarantee that it will be there for the holidays.

Also, in case you’re wondering, the tweets are $40 plus shipping (but the price is eleventy bajillion dollars if you ask for one for Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa/Thanksgiving/Boxing Day)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Retinol. Never too early, never too late. I use retinol cream on my hands and forearms, too. Oddly, while Retin-A (the prescription version) doesn't bother my face, it makes my hands itch.

Doesn't that make you more sensitive to the sun? See above re: working outside.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

You have to use it at night for that reason.

brillig

Somebody tell me I do not need this camera.

Was I reading the description right, that camera requires actual film? And you buy it and develop it through the company that sells the camera?

And in too appropriate timing, I just got told that Darby probably needs knee surgery in both hind legs.

I'm kind of gutted, given past history.

Because books.

Oh, brenda, I'm sorry. How come? Poor Darbs.

Superman saves man hit by car

Medical doctor Heng Khuen Cheok saw a pedestrian hit by a car in Melbourne, Australia on Saturday. He rushed to help but was initially rebuffed. Why? Because he was dressed as Superman -- part of his bachelor party hijinks that evening.

"One of the man's friends was crouching next to him and he took one look at me in my Superman costume and was telling me to go away," Dr Cheok said.

"He relaxed a bit when my friend told him we really were emergency doctors."

Together with the injured man's friend, they stemmed the bleeding to the victim's forehead and kept him stable until an ambulance arrived.

A swelling crowd of bewildered passers-by thought the incident was a set-up.

Probably degenerative. I don't know. The surgeon is looking at her this afternoon.
