Dude, email me or someone the text and we can fax it in for you. No need to pay Kinko's crazy high rates.

Congratulations, -t! Soon the Buffista sprog will be ruling the universe.

Woo hoo, ita! I have no fear that you will be able to get that lease signed before anyone else. You've got skillz.

Can whoever's bogarting the winter please give some back to us? Thanks!

You're more than welcome to the slush and snow that currently blankets DC. I'm ready for spring.

---

Totally, ita. I can fax for you.

---

Yay ita!

Should be in November, if I'm on the same schedule as for this apartment.

But no.

Or maybe yes, since I could just come down for it.

---

Heh, I finally caught up, and my post was going to be just about the same as Maria's. Oh, well. What can you do.

Congrats on the apartment, ita.

And yay for -t sprog-to-be! I didn't know that. Wonderful news.

Still snowing here. Started to stick a couple of hours ago.

Alias was fun last night, with intermittent yearrrgh. But Sark and Anna in the same show. Yay .

Also, I'm going to hell, according to the internet. Hmmm.

Allyson, incoming.

Lee, that's the price you pay for LEAVING, isn't it?

::sniff::

I got the apartment, if I can just get the lease signed ahead of my competitors.

Krav 'em all ita, and let G-d sort 'em out.

-t, had you only told us in Bitches? I didn't realize you weren't out.

Missouri Synod Lutheran, Cindy. It was a long, long time before I learned that there was a liberal tradition in Lutheranism.

Oh, sad now, Fred. Was hoping the Catholics might have also proved wacky on this particular thread. I told my mother about your experience over lunch. She shares my rage, so we solved all the world's problems, but as far as I can tell, we're still a good ways off from the solutions go-live date.

I'm sorry my friends who have faith, but once again, I'm getting a top note of Religion = Freaky.

In my experience, it's people = Freaky, and religion just gives freaks another choice in focal points.

But with a metallic aftertaste of Geek.

You say Geek like it's a bad thing.

At least I'm spared outrage over the semantic debate of the first commandment by having worshipped an actual graven idol at a Cthulhu for President rally. Afterwards I was all "maybe some of my friends have broken more commandments than me, but let's see 'em claim that one!"

Heee. Love this. Probably more than is proper.

Now that I've been fed, and finally changed my name with Social Security (it only took me 10.33 years), I'm less ranty, and things just look pink, rather than red. Websites like that rapture one linked this morning upset me, because the point (which is one I think they understand on some level, because they almost point there) is that everyone breaks the law--but knowing that is supposed to be humbling. In other words, as I understand, the point is that I can't see other people's sins clearly and objectively, because my vision is obscurred by my own. If I recognize someone else's sin, it shouldn't drive me to think how bad that person is, but instead, that I am no better.

ita, my Intermediate!Boss has a 10-year-old daughter who takes karate, and is apparently very good at it. She passed her blue belt test yesterday, which included, among other things, doing 20 knuckle push-ups, and rounds of sparring. Her last sparring partner was a boy who she made cry in the middle of the bout.

I thought of you immediately. (Less for the making a boy cry, actually, and more for the 10-year-old girl KICKING ASS.)

Feel free to think of me on both points, though.

Go her! That's just so cool. It's lovely when people can find things they like, that they're good at, that run counter to stereotypes SO DAMNED EARLY. She's got forever ahead of her.

Anne, I keep misreading your tag as: Can't sleep. Fandom will eat me.

That would also be a good tag.

I have had a lazy day.

Also, it has not stopped snowing even once today.
