I move like a sloth; darkness is my friend. I listen. I purchase like the conspicuous consumer I am. Nature instructs my simple ways. HA! And I continue on an uncertain path. Greetings again, kittens.

So what do the RSS feeds offer my simple, glittery gay soul on this eve?

While civil debate and "culture war" role-playing may have its moments, the stick up my ass proclaims: Bully for you! Is there an open bar?

Hooray for Suburban Lesbian Housewife and transgendered change at FedEx.

US Military Deaths increase in Afghanistan. (WP) Sigh.

Martian 'egg cups' could trace past climate.

Manipulative meow: Cats learn to vocalize a particular sound to train their human companions.

Green industrial lubricant.

Stephen Fry admits he's a file sharer.

John Barrowman and his cars. (MotorTrend) I never thought I would link to Motor Trend. HA!

What will happen to Pina Bausch's legacy? (NY)

Nick Cave reads from The Death of Bunny Munro.
