Us has gone way downhill the last year. I used to read it occasionally, and it wasn't too bad. Then I got out of the habit. I picked up a few copies a few months ago, and was blown away by how bad it was. I was spoiled by EW, even if I'm thrilled to see it only a week late.
These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

If I only had a brain...
Note that "Willow" first shows up on the charts after Buffy is on the air. [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have a friend with an eight year-old daughter named Willow. I don't think she ever watched Buffy though. I'll have to ask her.

Huh. A friend of mine just named her daughter "Lorelei" a couple of years ago. I didn't think it was that uncommon. I guess Gilmore Girls isn't that popular...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Still at work.
Why still at work? Because tonight is, as I'm sure you may have noticed, The Big Game.
Which means that not one of my students was willing to take the 5-hour video shoot assignment that nobody noticed back before the semester began was being scheduled for the night of the big game. Hell, half of them didn't make it to their regular shifts.
So I'm here until 7. Unless I'm here until 9. Because there's this one group that signed up for the 8:30-9:00 slot thinking they were signing up for tomorrow. And dollars to donuts they aren't gonna respond to my email asking them to pleasepleaseplease let me know if they aren't going to make it because I'd like to go home if they don't.
(Normally, I'd go home in the middle of the day if I had to do one of these evening dealies. Which would be fine. But today? No students to cover the lab, plus exams running all day. Also, there have been news helicopters overhead every 5 minutes all day, which is even stupider than the news trucks parked everywhere.)
(And I wouldn't mind seeing said game myself.)

Does the tool combiine spellings? I ask because Lorelei is one of those names a lot of people can't spell (like Jonathan/Johnathan/Jonathon), so you might want to look for Lorelai and Loralie as well.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ordinarily I'm a skipper, but I found the weird twin discussion too fascinating.
Also? My throat hurts! I'm tired! I want to be whiny!
