I GOT HIT BY LIGHTNING. Okay, not me precisely, but Weasel Street. One of those short, potent thunderboomers moved across town. I got soaked just dashing from the car to the house ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1312 The woman who sits next to me was working in another office today, so I visited the pussoes. None of the original bunch is left, except for the other little mama. She was pregnant longer than any cat the shelter guy had ever heard of. Me too. I thought maybe ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1309 Still blocked. I don't know if the report Brian L. kindly filed on my behalf has had time to go through. He said 24 hours, and that was Friday. I presume that's 24 business hours, so it's touch and go. I've just signed up (with my real name and address...brrr) ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1304 You'd think on a weekend I'm trying to rehabilitate myself, I could give it a rest. But that would totally misapprehend the concept of "weasel." Oh. Ohhhhhh. I just discovered the spot where cool air from the fan shoots straight up my shirt sleeve. Excuse me, please. http://sweasel.com/archives/1302 DAMN it! If you noticed the marked absence of Weasel today, it's because I made the Internet Naughty List. I thought it was just my local IT department noticing the suspicious stream of traffic going to one small weblog, but Enas says sweasel.com is blocked for him, too. The reason ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1301 Goddamn it! I am not fat! Okay, maybe I'm not as svelte as I was in art school, when I lived on coffee and broken dreams, but I sure as hell don't be needing no double-wide toilets or extra sturdy waterproof furniture so I can sit down in the shower. I guess ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1299 I just gave blood, so I'm not supposed to do anything strenuous. Like think. Or post something interesting. I always give blood when they phone me up. You give somebody money, you don't know where the hell it goes. Give them blood? There's pretty much one thing they can do with ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1297 The University of Utah has a pretty neat site called learn.genetics, which breaks complicated ideas down into moron-sized bites using podcasts and colorful Flash animations. I love the internet. I particularly recommend the module on addiction. There you can explore drugs of abuse and examine a variety of stoned mice without ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1295 I got up this morning and cleaned the fridge. Spontaneously. I think I might be ill. http://sweasel.com/archives/1293 I find the weirdest stuff doing Google Images searches (though why I was doing a search for 'nightdress' I'll never tell). This one is indeed Eva Braun's -- and, yes, it is embroidered all over with tiny swastikas. No shit. It's from a year old article in the Daily Mail about ... http://sweasel.com/archives/1290
