Was it one of those farts where you can actually see and feel your stomach shrink? Those are the most satisfying!
[/QUOTE]Oh man, I've had farts where it feels like my guts are a deflated balloon. It's kind of uncomfortable for a few moments.
I regret nothing and envy no man.
I bought new shoes yesterday!
I haven't been able to find my beloved white and black ones in stores for over a year, and I miss my slip on goodness.

you know the girl I've talked about sometimes? The one I went to the cinema with last friday? She came to sit next to me today at class.
The deodorant worked!
But what about your smell? Is it better than mine?Now I feel bad.

Not quite epic, but hopefully becomes more than minor...definitely hope for a victory-
TL;DR version-got a stray cat that had been out in the rain in the bushes for 2+ days some attention it seemed to need...
Sunday night, walking the dog, she pulls me off towards a fenced off area near the apartment building. Thinking nothing much of it, as a beagle, she's always sniffing out something to explore. Monday morning, rainy, same thing. This time, I look closer to see eyes looking back at me. A cat. Full grown, not a kitten. Seemed healthy enough, not distressed. Called my wife mid-day, as the rain kept coming down, and asked her to check on it. Was still there, she couldn't see if it was moving/breathing, but couldn't get close enough. So, I get home around 6ish, bring it a dish of food as close to her as I could get. She moved, she blinked, she meowed....but that was all....Checked back 2 hours later, the dish had filled with rain water, but food looked untouched. Poured the water out. Meanwhile, had tried calling Animal control at 4:30 and then again at 6:30, both times no answer. Line said to please hold. Office hours until 8. At 7:55, the line had flipped to “office is now closed.” At 10:30 was too dark to see if she was still there (and I didn’t bring a flashlight because I’m dumb).
Checked again this morning. She had moved to underneath a different bush, food looked almost entirely un-eaten…maybe a bite or two gone. Called animal control at 7:50, 7:55….open at 8, called at 8:02, on hold for 5 minutes, and then A HUMAN!!! Told them the situation..the lady didn’t inspire confidence….they can really only pick up sick or injured…told her cat was outside for almost 3 days, in cold rain, potentially pregnant, looked fed, but defiantly had the potential to not be well….they only have one driver in each borough but they were going to try.
Got off the train, had a voice mail from 8:45..they were there and can I come down and show them the cat. Called back, talked them through about 10 minutes finding it. She found the cat, was going to try to get her in hopes she didn’t run away.
So, here’s to hoping for the best….

Rahka? Was ist das?
Minor Win: observed a pickup last night driving suspiciously. As I slowed to see what I could find to pull him over for (no tag light), he decided to try and take off on me. Ran off the road and ran over a mailbox, all before I had a chance to light him up. Got him a block later, slowing down and acting nonchalant... til he stopped in the darkest area of the street where I couldn't see what he was doing. Repeated commands over the PA for him to drive forward to the next streetlight were not followed, so I started calculating how I could shoot through the windshield whilst using the engine block for cover, if necessary. Finally, he listened to "If you don't pull forward to the streetlight, this night will NOT end well for you."
I love it when they listen to sweet reason.
In addition to the 4 citations (including driving whilst suspended - d'oh! ) he had 3 warrants. Oopsie!

That's a bit hard to explain... basically it's curdled milk in semi-solid form, kinda like really thick yoghurt. The closest English equivalent I could find was 'curd', but I'm not sure if that's exactly the same.
I know it sounds a little strange, but if you think about it, your basic cheese is just milk that's gone slightly bad
But when you mix rahka with whipped cream, a little sugar and berries (I prefer strawberries), you get a really delicious dessert:
What's especially good for yours truly is that it has very little calories. Of course depending on how much sugar you use to off-set the mild sourness of the rahka
.... Actually, that sounds pretty bitchin! Indeed, save a place for me, Suomi-san!
I think there's an equivalent product over here, but right now, my brain fails me.

So I went to a video rental store closing today and came back with a massive haul for less than $50:
in case: King of Fighters XII (new)
Top Left to Right: DMC3, DMC2, GTA: Vice City Stories, GTA: Liberty City Stories
Bottom Left to Right: SFIV, Prototype, Incredible Hulk, RE5
I'm gonna have games to play for months!

I called comcast tech support to try to decipher the logs on my cable modem that the documentation couldn't. In the process of the call the tech noticed my signal wasn't what it should be, and that they'd have someone out to look at it the next day (today).
I hadn't even noticed a problem. Thanks!

I have sharp knives!
A few months ago we finally got a honing steel, after foolishly doing without for decades. Now every time I'm chopping something I grin because our knives are now nice and sharp.

Danced with a lovely, funny 19-year-old future kindergarten teacher today at a terrace restaurant. Latino rhythms, but we waltzed, because that was the only dance either of us knew I haven't danced like that in years, but despite having two left feet she told me she had not had such fun in a long time, and was glad I asked her to dance.
When we were walking back home (me, her and two friends) the two women in our company got hassled by a fifty-something drunk woman who had been giving a public blowjob. I stepped in and gave my best "back off or else" posture, the drunk woman stepping away. She apparently didn't want to hassle with someone who was 6' tall, bearded and built like a brick shithouse The girl with whom I had danced thanked me for stepping in later on.
