Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. I hate being sick. Why am I sick? And more importantly, why am I still grading?

The evil is this way?

You could get him some other religious medal. Is he chosing a patron saint for the Confirmation?

oh, good idea. He picked Maximillian. His original pick was Maximus but I busted him. There's no saint he knew with that name -- it was the name of Russell Crowe's character in "Gladiator." So, he had to change it. He rejected my suggestion - Paul. His first name is Irish for John and his middle name is German for George. I told him if he picked Paul he'd have 3/4ths of the Beatles. He rejected that suggestion. Culturally deprived, that boy is.

ETA: Topic!Cindy -- I like the Celtic crosses. Maybe I could get him a tattoo of one. His mother wouldn't mind. Much.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

ita, we don't have a broom closet, either. I keep the vacuum in my clothes closet--it's the only place. But there's about two feet of wall space in the bathroom between the entrance door and the closet door. I put up a bar with clamps [link] to hold mops, brooms, and dusters. And I put up a cheap, U-shaped curtain rod and a curtain to hang over the cleaning tools. It keeps them out of sight, but lets them air-dry. And they're handy. I just grab the one I need off the rack and don't have to scrabble in the back of a closet, or disentangle handles.

What is even happening?

Hee! You do it, and I'll see if I can find some family in Charlestown or Southie to hide you out, in the underground usually reserved for Irish illegals. If there were such things. Which there *so* are not.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Don't know about his theology, but Chesterton was a dreadful anti-semite. Shaw reproached him for that saying in effect his conservatism was probalby sincere and with a sound intellectual base, but that when it came to adapting anti-semitic vies there was no excuse; he was smart and well educated enough to know better.

Right. There are no such places in Chicago's Irish community either. Uh-huh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ee, what's your upper limit on price? Some of those $2200 apartments are splendiferous! I liked the one with the fancy inlay woodwork flooring.

Those are totally out of my price range, sadly, since they are indeed nice.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Don't know about his theology, but Chesterton was a dreadful anti-semite.

Oh no, now you're going to get a big lecture from JZ on this subject. (In brief, while Chesterton's early writings certainly were anti-semitic, he recanted them and was one of the earliest journalists to speak out against the anti-semitism in early Nazism etc.)

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

It's snowing here... Again...

It had been a nice sunny day, too.

Huh. It's pretty much a summer day in San Francisco today. Ridiculously sunshiney and warm.
