That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Huh, I died in an unexpected manner in the office.

They think you take one pill per encounter, and that's why it's so expensive, because women are all slutting it up.

But the thing that confounds me with this stupidity is that...well even if that were stupidly true, with whom are all of these women having sex? I'll tell you what, it's not the gay men or lesbians? So, where is the responsibility for men in all this, if women are slutting it up?

ARGH. Can't even.

Noah's opening ceremony for baseball is tomorrow. I have to go re-sew his pants so they will fit him. ARGH.

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

This is kind of awesome. It was kinda Zen to just watch the cat fountain.

In Minecraft, a fountain of cats at the top of the world

271kochu created a "fountain of cats" in Minecraft by building a structure that extended to the top of the world, then exploiting the game's simple flocking rules for virtual cats to entice the sprites to form a never-ending fountain that is a joy to behold.

My cat was confused by all the mewing....

Breaking Good: how to synthesize Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) From N-Methylamphetamine (crystal meth)

Pseudoephedrine, active ingredient of Sudafed®, has long been the most popular nasal decongestant in the United States due to its effectiveness and relatively mild side effects [1]. In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to obtain psuedoephedine in many states because of its use as a precursor for the illegal drug N-methylamphetamine (also known under various names including crystal meth, meth, ice, etc.)[1,2]. While in the past many stores were able to sell pseudoephedrine, new laws in the United States have restricted sales to pharmacies, with the medicine kept behind the counter. The pharmacies require signatures and examination of government issued ID in order to purchase pseudoephedrine. Because the hours of availability of such pharmacies are often limited, it would be of great interest to have a simple synthesis of pseudoephedrine from reagents which can be more readily procured.

A quick search of several neighborhoods of the United States revealed that while pseudoephedrine is difficult to obtain, N-methylamphetamine can be procured at almost any time on short notice and in quantities sufficient for synthesis of useful amounts of the desired material. Moreover, according to government maintained statistics, Nmethylmphetamine is becoming an increasingly attractive starting material for pseudoephedrine, as the availability of Nmethylmphetamine has remained high while prices have dropped and purity has increased [2]. We present here a convenient series of transformations using reagents which can be found in most well stocked organic chemistry laboratories to produce psuedoephedrine from N-methylamphetamine.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

This is brilliant! I can't stop laughing.

I can't get to the Choose Your Own Adventure Office. I get to the Neatorama page but I don't see a link. I'm a dummy, clearly. Help me out! I want to waste some more time.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

While I think she's sometimes over the top, I mostly think the Bloggess is funny as hell, and I want to be her when I grow up.

I generally crack up at her crazy antics and long-suffering Victor's reactions, but I think trying to pressure a celebrity you don't know into doing something for you via hundreds of readers/followers is beyond the pale.

I need that as a screensaver. Or on a monitor on my wall, running continuously.

I am watching Conan and there is a self-defense guy on there. He is teaching Conan how to puncture someone's skin with a sharpie.

I am going to fuck someone up tomorrow.
