MIAMI (Reuters) - Wildlife officers shot and killed a 600-pound tiger called Bobo on Tuesday after it escaped from the Florida home of a B-movie actor who played Tarzan.

Not sure why this tugs the heartstrings so, but it does.

Confession: I am a minor comics geek. (I barely own any issues, but I know a ton of character histories.) So moments ago when I stumbled into Women In Refrigerators, my brain had to go emergency backup power. The site has a list of female characters and the vile ends they have met, many of which were news to me. The sheer bulk of the list is just incomprehensible. Or is it only because of the hour? That's completely ignoring the source of the site title, by the way, which is far from pretty -- though maybe she used to be.

Nutty as it sounds, I think I have to go study now to relax from reading blogs. Yes, that sounds good. Nice flat essays with no dismemberment whatsoever. I like reading stuff sans severed parts.

I'm having a good morning so far: laughing at Jessica Simpson and recognizing a bit of an old character of mine in this blue-haired girl. My charrie had purple hair, not blue, the only time she showed up; however, I'd meant for her to changer hair colour all the damn time. She seems to vary from purple through blue to green, with emphasis on blue. Cate's hair is probably shorter, but maybe I'm not accurately gauging how much she lets herself go when she doesn't get her fix.

If you don't recognize the artist by her style, shame on you. D101 forever, baby.

The links, they hurt my brain. Or maybe that was the final exam from hell, covering everything the class didn't -- but to say more would be to indulge in a snit publicly.

Let's assume that you've got a basic, bare-bones RSS feed built, and now you're ready to make it dance a little.

*eyesparkle* Oh, let's! I so like where this is going...

I have been playing in a small Star Wars RPG as a green-skinned scoundrel. I had to supply her starship name at one point and hadn't prepared for it, so on the spot I devised a devious name: the Swift Finger. I'm not sorry. *wicked giggles*

Already the Ord Mantell authorities have refused to name my ship when telling my party to respect their authorit-ay (not in those words), and my character has responded to her partner's gripe about the ship's smallish size by firing back, "If it were bigger, it would have to be the Swift Fist!" which made our GM sputter for just a moment. So far, so fun.

Eeek, I forget things. Sorry. My RSS is wiggy, but I suspect posting might fix it. So hi, here's me.

I went a fair stretch without blogging anything. It just felt too cumbersome to have to post in Tabulas, copy/paste everything to Xanga because crossposting would always fail, and hit multiple buttons to get the entry to Xanga. That's just not cool. It occurred to me that I was abusing the Tabulas crossposting system by using it on a regular basis, so I began posting natively to LJ and manually copying the posts to Xanga. That's why no posts here for a while -- they're elsewhere.
