Starting fires, man, wow. LinkDiscuss (via JWZ's Livejournal) [Boing Boing] 10:40:14 PM

Today 'Spongeworthy' Once More One of P's favorite episodes... The Today Sponge contraceptive was all the rage when it was suddenly pulled from the shelves in the mid-'90s, disappointing countless women and inspiring a memorable episode of Seinfeld.

High Anxiety Tomorrow, our hard-earned savings leave us, and on Friday, we get a set of keys and a whole new set of responsibilities. Suddenly, I'm in high anxiety mode. Suddenly, I have a mortgage, in addition to a child to provide for, and student loans to pay off. Suddenly, it's like I've hit my late twenties a half-decade late. To top it all off, I'm contracting, which isn't necessarily a steady paycheck... aaaahhhg! It seems I do my best work living on the edge :-) 10:21:52 PM
