From the current Likleks - The Bleat:

The frickin’ car. Not mine, but my wife’s. It’s reached the point where everything is starting to go out - suspension creaks like Methuselah’s kneebones, half the gauges give inaccurate readings (Full tank! No gas! Half a tank! Fumes!) and the sin of corrosion infects its vital parts. The [...]

on Delicious Library right now. If you use a Mac, you simply must check this program out. It’s a program that allows you to keep inventory/check-out all of your media (such as books, cds, dvds, etc).

What’s that you’re saying? You don’t get it? You just have to see/use it [...]
