Dana, I'm sorry we stole your cool opera director.
Oh, look at that, you did. Bastards!
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Jeeves generally comes if I call out "Kitty!" in a manner reminiscent of a "soooeeeeeEEE!" hog call. He also comes running if he hears sheets being unfurled over the bed. Make The Bed is his favorite game, ever. I have made him into the bed several times, and he thinks this is great fun.
On a couple of occasions I've yanked the blankets off the bed without checking and sent him flying.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Yeah, I'm not Catholic.
But, but....yeah. I got nothing. For some reason, when you mentioned getting smudged with ashes, it was imprinted on my feeble brain that you were Catholic.
Thanks, Gus! I was just going to edit in that link.

Hee. My dog used to do that - leap up onto the bed while I shook the sheet out overtop and lie very, very still until I flipped the sheet back up and she'd come leaping out looking very pleased with herself. Funny as hell.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The Episcopalians do it, too. I went to St. John's the other year, and liked it a lot.

Methodists do the ashes too.

I've never heard of fiddleheads and am now curious. I'm familiar with and have done the pancake thing on Shrove Tuesday. My cat called in respose to her name, to people meowing, or when she heard the can opener. And you'd get a look when she got there and it was just a can of beans or something. She also played fetch. Awesome cat. Can't wait for those hypo-allergenic ones to hit the market.
Am curious to know how whale sounds differ when you hear them under water from what I've only ever heard, which is the sono-whatever recordings.

Intellectually, I know this. My first reaction, though? Assume everyone is like ME, because the world spins off its axis when I'm not at the center. All your religion belong to us.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
So I just watched the Pats parade from 16 floors up. Our offices are right near the end point of the parade (and I'm wondering if they just have limos or buses stashed over by the Fleet center to get them out again), but decided not to go down and see close-up. Too much like a Marathon Monday out there - I don't dig big crowds much these days.

Well, sure.
