You should probably consider my worship of chocolate tainted by association and forego participating in it yourself.

Nah. The worship of chocolate is right and good, and I can always hope it will set you on the path to rightness and goodness.

And, if I do, I'll buy myself a big treat at the end of the semester.

I like your method.

I've got two done, two to go. One of those should be done by tomorrow.

So you're nearly in three down? Either way, you're at least half-way through.

Are you involved in the wedding at all?

In what sense? If we had bridesmaids here, I think all of us roommates would count as ones. Also, I'm probably going to make the kipa for the groom (very nice guy, by the way). And we get to watch all the preparations since, well, most of them are conducted from our apartment. Last week we folded invitations and tied a ribbon around the fold in each, for a whole evening. I will miss her very much when she moves out (also, I'll have nobody to snark at "Alias" with).

Oh, that is a bummer. But! My friends and I have a time-honored tradition of watching tv together on the phone -- either just calling at the commercial, or staying on the whole time. Goofy, but fun.

How much cocaine should be allowed in a racehorse?

Tonight on the Eleven O'Clock News, two year-old thoroughbreds caught on film doing drugs in crackstables. Do you know where your ponies are?

Ah, I used to do that with my sister with BTVS.

My Little Pony was arrested today in a pre-dawn drug raid.

I like your method.

Me too. If it works, it'll be the first time in my entire life that I've been to an entire semester of school. That would be something.

Yup! It feels SO good to get them out of the way. The last one is the biggest project (the one I'm writing on b.org and the Bronze), so it's gonna take me a little while. But, when I get them done, I'm opening a bottle of prosecco and celebrating.

I guess that's what I meant, but I didn't want to specifically ask about bridesmaids, 'cause I didn't think you guys did that.

Also, I'm probably going to make the kipa for the groom (very nice guy, by the way).

Very cool. But what's a kipa?

These sound beautiful.

I bet!

Scientists invent a thingie that can "see into the future."

I remain highly skeptical.

We should totally try that. Hmm.

Oh, I'd so very much want to read this one, when you're done! I'd love to read about your conclusions.

But what's a kipa?

Yarmulka, is I think how you'd say in English (or should it end with an "e"?). The piece of cloth that orthodox Jewish men have on their heads, to cover them? They can be made of fabric or crocheted (that's what I do).

Once or twice I've seen them made of leather.
