Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I saw him in 42nd Street, back in the day.

I saw him in his swim trunks, back in the day.

I'll miss him too, but that's certainly not why.

Why can't we be independently wealthy? This whole "work for a living" thing is soooo overrated.

mr flea keeps calling me from home. Two things are killing me - his inability to make a grocery list without calling me, and in a completely different way, hearing Eve's voice in the background. She got up from her nap yesterday and went around the house crying and looking for me. Wah!

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Wah! In other news, Jim Caple has the rundown of this year in sports:

Highlights include:

March 23: North Korea officials claim that Kim Jong II shot a 38 with five aces on a course in Pyongyang.

I'm not making that up, by the way. That is what they actually claimed. They also insist that Kim Jong II averages three or four holes-in-one a round, though they refused to confirm whether the course includes a windmill and swinging barn doors.

cereal funny:

Sept. 19: A bullet strikes Kyle Denny in the leg during a drive-by shooting but the Cleveland pitcher is saved from injury by the knee-high white boots he is wearing while dressed as a cheerleader as part of a rookie hazing ritual.

By the way, this actually happened.

And I have the short version of that bookcase.

Yeah. I wish I could bring myself to get the mail shelf, but I already have a perfectly good (if traditional) oak rolltop in that room. It's the only understated thing in a room that also has a medusa lamp, big Mardi Gras and Rocky Horror posters, and a burgundy cloth with gold astrological designs over the windowpanes in the door. (Lips sofa to follow when I've saved up...)

Lisa, i'm feeling the need to imitate your life. What I wouldn't give to be in Baltimore instead of LA.
