Very, very, very sorry to hear that Graham Joyce has died. He had been fighting lymphoma. Graham was a lovely man and a very fine writer. Go in peace, Graham. We won’t forget you.

Let us not forget leftover happiness — the discovery that one still has a few pieces of nice pizza in the fridge.

If you haven’t seen this already…

Post-weekend regret.

My new favorite.

Talking about pets, just in case you haven’t seen this…guinea pigs are NOT the silliest animals in the world. People who OWN guinea pigs are the silliest animals in the world.

For another viewpoint on the subject of “dogs”, here’s Ralph Steadman.

Johnny the dog had his first day of training today. He’s two years old but he’s been too nervous to try this before now. Except for a bit of a hackle-thing with an under-supervised young pit bull, he did pretty well, although he still has no idea what the hell we think we’re doing to him. He’s just doing his best to humor us.
