Truth-Telling

As you might gather from the revised banner at the top, I'm dropping the ruse that I'll post regularly and acknowledging that it's now more appropriate for me to treat this blog as a repository of some of my thoughts and reactions to things when I had more disposable time.

It'll still be here, for posterior's sake (irksome chum!), but until you hear differently, no more new posts.

Cheers.

The world is full of small graces.

I think I'm more attuned to them because the book I'm reading is "incandescent" with them, in the words of one reviewer.

Today, riding the bus in to work, I happened to glance up from said book, just in time to glance down a side street and see the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.

This Week's Hits

Thanks as usual to The Onion's outstanding Horoscopes page.

Aries March 21 - April 19

Your shortness of breath and wild fainting spells will be cured this week, thanks to a series of well-placed commas.

Gemini May 21 - June 21

The stars apologize for last week's prediction of "money problems." Looks like they forgot the "k" in there.

Leo July 23 - August 22

The stars foresee a second job promotion in the days to come, though they should probably be telling Dave about it instead of you.

And yes, some of the ones I didn't quote are macabre or otherwise in less-than-great taste.  This is one of those "goods outweigh the evils" moral situations.

(And yes, I'm reading a book with needlepoint on the cover.  No, it's not a Christian romance novel.  Seriously.  As my friend Douglas always said, don't judge a book by its cover.  Especially not good science fiction novels.)

Invasion

Why, I ask you?  Who is this person (people?), and why are her (their?) before/after (PersonA/PersonB?) photos all over the interwebs?

From Xanga:


From ICanHasCheezburger:


I've seen them on Facebook too, though I don't have a link right now.

It's even inspired a thread on the forums at the Chronicle of Higher Ed.  Who ARE these people?
