short takes

Does anyone know what happened to insomnia?

This nicely-crafted poem by siderea is well worth your attention. I say this as someone who doesn't tend to like poetry, by the way.

The Discworld cake has been floating around for a few days, but if you haven't seen it you, you should.

This script for an election ad by osewalrus is brilliant! Now if only someone could produce it.

I stopped in at the vet's office on Thursday to pick something up, and whom should I see but my original vet? I only switched from him to another at the same office because he stopped working out of the Shadyside office (and then returned only on Saturdays). Now he's there one evening a week. At this point I would feel awkward switching from my current vet back to him; she has given me good service and a lot of attention and caring, after all. But wow, the really great one is back! So if I ever need an appointment and can't get one with her (she's only there one evening a week -- different evening), I have another option. I hope it lasts.
