Just heard from my mom that my 13-year-old nephew was in the ER all night, getting his hand stitched up. How did he cut his hand, you might ask? He was slicing up a banana with two large knives in an "Iron Chef" imitation, complete with narration. The doctor in the ER found this just as hilarious as the rest of the family does.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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

That looks right, Maria.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Well, considering Yiddish isn't written in the same alphabet as English, there really isn't a Yiddish spelling that can be typed here. I'm pretty sure that the YIVO spelling (which is the standardized transliteration system usually used for academic stuff, but not generally observed elsewhere) is tokhes, but I'm sure there are at least five other commonly-used ones.

Can any LAista or person familiar with said city tell me what there is to do around Union Station. I'm meeting a slightly neurotic family member there this afternoon, and I'd rather we not wing it too much.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Only thing I can think of is "leave", ita. Sorry.
Hey, you said you found a mover. Which one are you using?

Get lost. That's what I did. On the other hand, that's about five minutes from my campus. There really isn't much to do around here that's of the cool variety. Even the rose garden isn't very impressive yet. You could go see the creepy Body Worlds exhibit at the Science museum, though. Otherwise, I'd suggest leaving the area and going somewhere much cooler.

I'm going with Millenium Movers, I think. Everyone looks about equivalent ($65-70/hr, some with 3hr minimums), so I picked the first one with a slot open on my day.
Leave? Get lost? I was already harbouring some trepidation -- is there anywhere to sit and eat or coffee that's not horrible, maybe?
