Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Maybe it counted all the attempted posts. I tried a couple of times before it went through.

Re: Bling.

Emeralds are bad choice for a ring that's designed to be worn daily, as are opals, pearls, and other soft stones.

Rubies and sapphires are good, because they're pretty durable. Sapphires come in all colors but red (because red corundum is ruby), including clear. If you're shelling out bucks for an engagement ring, you can get a good quality ruby or sapphire and still generally pay less than you would for a diamond. White sapphires have been a historically popular substitute for diamonds.

There's at least one company out there that sells "green" engagement rings, made with recycled gold and synthetic diamonds. (The synthetics they use are the yellow ones, but the rings are pretty cool looking.)

Nobody has the pipes for Janis. Ah, Janis.

Normally, I would agree, but Melissa Etheridge has always been my possible exception, and I think she kicked ass on the song tonight. Not Janis, but still fucking awesome.

cereal:

Will someone remind me that I need to wake up around 5:00, so being tired now would be a pretty good idea?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ha ha. I don't have to wake up until 6:00. But that's 4:00 your time, right?

Crap....

But do you have to be at the airport by 6:30?

Nope. Just a train station.

I guess we are just about even then.

I'm going to try to sleep now. I hope you can.

Me too. Thanks.

Although I'm already in bed, with the lights out and all....
