Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

How lucky is it that the search function came into being right before I was *really* going to need it?

Well, even if the universe won't give you the breaks you're due, the Buffistas can at least try.

That, or ita loves you more than us.

I think they just fucked it up even worse......

Except now we have a scheduled downtime, so something else may be going on.

Congratulations VW! YAY!

Dana and sara need new days.

Last night I hate a hateful evening, followed by an almost sleepless night, and a draggy morning.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

There was supposed to be only a little over a month until Passover, if it were a regular year. But it's not - it's what is called a "pregnant" year, which means it has 13 months (the lunar calendar equivalent of the 29th of February). The month before Pesakh (the month that has purim) is being doubled. It's like you have "March A" and "March B", with Purim on the B month. This is done in ordr to make sure that Pesakh will always take place on the spring (and because lunar years have fewer days than solar ones).

t looks at calendar

Yep, Passover and Easter are out of synch this year. Of course, Easter is really early (3/27), which in my world means no midwinter lazy time in choir--we came to our first January rehearsal and were handed our Ash Wednesday music--and wondering what to do about Annabel's first Easter dress (well, technically it's her second Easter, but she was less than a week old at the first one) since it's likely to still be winter weather.

I have Blame it on the Rain in my head. I blame all of you for this earworm.

I don't know how, I don't know why, but I know the Buffistas are behind this!

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

I just went to the next building for a meeting, passed a guy standing in the lobby chatting in a not-really-very-directed-looking way, went upstairs, sat through an hour of rather bureaucratic program evaluation planning, came back out, and the same guy was still standing in the lobby chatting.

I don't know who he is, but I want his schedule.

Emily! (Showing up right when Burrell talks about teaching, too).

msbelle seems to deserve a new day herself, along with a new last-evening and last-night.

Susan, I love the way the year is punctuated so differently (not just by holidays, but by the connections to them, like your choir) for different people. It's like living, just a bit, in an alternative reality, in a way.

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

I don't know who he is, but I want his schedule.

In the hour of meeting? This guy had to undergo torture, kill his captors, write up a report, and get it approved by multiple levels of bureacracy.

And there was voting involved.

He just got back to the lobby before you came out of your planning.

Sue, you blame -t for your "blame it on the rain" earworm. that was from yesterday.

I have a lunch scheduled with someone. I tried to get them to agree to BK, but they wouldn't have it. poop.

ita, I just bought a new brand of lemon cookies which turned out to be really good, and now I want to share some with you. Throwing crumbs on the monitor doesn't work, however.
