It’s Thursday, kittens! All! Damn! Day! So you’d better start getting used to it. Pour yourself a Venti instead of a Grande and strap in for the next few hours of existential torture.

Hmmmm. Maybe I had better switch to chamomile tea. And yoga.

In any case, kittens, here are some bulletproof news links with which to gird your loins, should you be short of loincloths and feeling the nip of winter in these parts. These ones, right here…oh, where’d they go?

Nevermind.
