And no more Taylor Swift!

I just took some trash down to the dumpster in the basement, and there was a note taped to the door from the building manager asking that we keep our music down; he had been getting complaints. Below the note, someone else had written, "And no more Taylor Swift!".

Older DUers: Remember "Go Ask Alice?"

I saw it today at Barnes & Noble. If it ever was out of print, it's back. 1971. Wow. I was 13 then.

My black cat Brigid is getting white hairs that weren't there before.

She will be eight this summer. She has always had a few white hairs here and there in her otherwise black coat, but now there seem to be more. Has anyone else noticed that with a black cat?

I just returned to the United Methodist Church.

To make a long story short, I had been going to either Methodist or Presbyterian (mostly Methodist) churches all my life. But when I moved from Indy back to Terre Haute back in 2006, I started going to a Catholic church there and converted in 2008, which I had been considering doing on and off for years. But I never felt quite at home there. When I moved back to Indy about a year and a half ago, I started attending a parish here, but felt that something was missing. I no longer enjoyed Mass and just felt frustrated. This morning I went to the Methodist church I used to attend when I lived here before (I even sang in the choir back then). I hadn't attended Mass in weeks, so I had lost track and didn't realize that it was Pentecost. The sanctuary was decorated with red banners and a red drape over the cross in the chancel. Because it had been more than ten years since I had last been in there, I did not recognize anyone. Still, the service was moving, and I know what John Wesley meant when he wrote of his heart being "strangely warmed." I'm so happy!

"A Girl with a Book": Great toon.

Anybody else watching "Talking Dead?"

It's a riot! I can't believe Chris Hardwicke said "Holy shit!

Can you think of a better President/Vice President team this country has ever had than Obama/Biden?

I can't. Some barely tolerated each other. Some actively hated each other. Some, in the early days, weren't even from the same party. Obama and Biden complement each other perfectly.

"Waaah! He's being mean to our guy!"

--Karen Finnegan on "The Ed Show" talking about the RW shitfit over Joe Biden's performance in the debate last night.

Funny sign behind Tweety just now:

It was in the shape of a coffee cup, and it said "4 More Cups of Joe."

So are we getting what we were hoping for tonight or what?

Chomp chomp.
