Australian wallabies are eating opium poppies and creating crop circles as they hop around "as high as a kite", a government official has said.
No officer I don't have anything in my pocket - Really. I know nothing about a poppy field. Please don't tarsier me.
Rick shared this story with me. A lot of the comments were ROFL funny too. Enjoy

Forthcoming Joy In This Economy
As this economy slinks ever more hell-ward I have been spring cleaning both my house and my habits. As a single income family that hopes to one day become rich off darling husband's teaching job we have batten-downed the financial hatches. In reality this means that I have to be picky with my purchases of pure joy.
I must limit my book intake to those authors I truly love and can't do without. Robin McKinley, Carol Berg, Mercedes Lackey, and Charlaine Harris to name a few. This makes the release of a new books a bit like what Christmas should be (without the fights). The impatiens wonder, the barely contained excitement, and the staying up till ungodly hours reading once the box has been torn asunder.
The above book cover is one of those kind of joys. I hadn't heard a thing for years and just this week I found this and a pre-order on Amazon. I think it will be the last book in a series by Megan Turner who received the Newberry for "The Thief" (book one). If you haven't read these books - YOU SHOULD! They are some of the best YA literature being written today; and not a vampire in sight!
