truepenny1. It is disgustingly hot today. Thank goodness for air-conditioning.
2. Think good thoughts for me tomorrow at 11; I'm interviewing with a temp agency.
3. These caracal kittens are just stunningly beautiful. (Watch the video to see their even more stunning parents.)
4. So I'm behind the curve (as per usual), but I have finally discovered Hyperbole and a Half (origin of "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!"). My favorite entry is probably The Alot Is Better Than You At Everything (it also makes me wonder if alots live in alotments), but The God of Cake is a close runner-up, and the better pain scale made me cry with laughter. (Also, an honorable mention to one of her older posts, "Thing of the Day: Uterus. Rating: NOT AWESOME," for obvious reasons.) But I love the alot. I want to give it cookies, and oh believe me, I will be thinking of it in bad English-usage situations from here on out.

jenavira has alertly pointed me toward instructions for making your own alot.
5. And finally, a passage I have had to excise from an essay I'm working on, but which I love so much I have to SHARE IT WITH THE WORLD:
Thank you. I feel better now.

The difference between a murder ballad and a revenge tragedy goes like this. In a murder ballad, Johnny does Frankie wrong and Frankie shoots Johnny; in a revenge tragedy, Johnny does Frankie wrong, and when Frankie goes to shoot Johnny, she misses and kills the brother of Johnny's new girlfriend instead.
And Wacky Hijinks Ensue.
Thank you. I feel better now.
