3. Last night, before bed, I read Mira Grant's Into the Drowning Deep -- a story about mermaids. Slime covered poisonous predatory inhuman mermaids that bit people's faces off with needle sharp teeth.

It's SF horror. Gore and vicious monsters from the deep.

2. We have an evil cat with long needle-sharp claws. She usually sleeps harmlessly at the foot of the bed, but sometimes she decides to knead body parts with claws out.

I don't like that very much.

A bad combination.

1. My wife has one of those ambient noise machines to help her sleep. It plays ocean sounds, softly, all night long.

I don't mind at all. It's kind of nice.

@starbreaker @Nezchan I will sometimes play NINs Ghosts I-IV as background atmosphere when I have a lot of work to do. It's a free download.

Support for the confederacy in Wenatchee, Washington? That makes no sense.

@sanspoint I ended up buying cables that I never move for home, and a traveling power supply that wears out every year or two.

Mythicist Milwaukee is gearing up for another shitshow.

@sanspoint That's about enough to buy a spare power cord for when yours inevitably disintegrates. As it will.

That is a kind of cute face.

The Sandusky trial is over. You can't just claim that all the evidence was imaginary.
