Cats are terrible resources for intellectual property issues.
Sure. When you start from a premise of "everything is mine", it's a little hard to get the nuances.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm so sorry, Perkins. Also, my best to Scrappy. It's been hard to be a pet's human lately.
Yesterday's little NPR story interviewed Mark Lemley, an IP professor who is now at Stanford, and who I will always remember as the man who brought the best bottle of wine I've ever had to a party. His wife's job was (and still might be) being Google's #1 corporate lawyer, so it was a bottle of wine I could never, ever afford.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Perkins}}} I am so sorry. Much love and peace to you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I feel badly about how little I pay for insurance ($14/month) except that it used to be free, and we were told the reason we made less money was that we had such great benefits. Then our salaries were frozen for 2 years, we had to start paying for insurance, the tuition benefits regulations became very stringent, we have to pay for parking (more than for insurance in fact).
I have to choose a student worker and I don't want to. They all seem good. I feel pressure to pick a girl who already works in the research department, and worked for me a bit on loan, but she did this weird thing before Christmas where she told me she was to go home after working for me, and she told the other department she was staying late for me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Man, Perkins, you have so much going on right now. Make sure you take it easy, okay. It's a lot to handle.
Negative dreams last night, the sort where you aren't mad at the insomnia, but you still realise you have to get right back to bed or otherwise...well, there's a bit of otherwise going on. Man, I feel awful.
Gawker posted a picture of the guy who runs Pinkberry, who's been accused of some startling violence (jumping out of his car and beating a homeless man with a tire iron because he was offended by his tattoo), and people are saying the weirdest things about him. At least, I want to believe they're weird. He's a man of average looks, in a picture where he's neither smiling nor frowning. He's wearing a button down shirt that's unbuttoned, no tie, a black suit jacket with grey stripes, and you can just see the tips of his pocket squares.
He looks like a gangster and someone who'd fight Neo in The Matrix. What does that last one even mean? Sure, if he was wearing sunglasses, I could kind of get it, but...

Maybe they only see Asians wearing suits in movies about the asian mafia? Because he looks fairly nondescript to me.,
