Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That was Alan Tudyk? I didn't even recognize him.

The "I love Trudy, I love her so," look in his eyes usually gives him away.

I'm getting the pig!

Good thing I still have dibs on Jason Bateman.

And to round out the Joss theme for the evening, Buffy's first college roomie (Kathy?) was on Desperate Housewives.

Is it just me or does the Pope look like he should be on a Christmas card? I'm sure they have some ancient liturgical reason for the choice of garb but I keep thinking "SANTA!"

(I don't feel good about it)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes.

My neighbor is blasting the song "Dancing Queen" into the hallway right now.

Always Anti-fascist!

I'm a bit disturbed by the open-mouthed viewing photo on yahoo as well, Trudy, despite choosing entertainment that features many corpses.

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

I am done with instructor training!

Well, until early June. And the written test on Thursday.

And two subsequent written tests.

Huh. I used to be in a better mood.

I got told I was too militaristic a teacher today. Which is funny, because I was told to try a military-style approach by another teacher, and wrote him off as insane, because how could I ever do that? There must be a middle ground somewhere.

I was gonna say that I was happy my sort of teaching has no grading, but it occurs to me that all those written tests I have to take go somewhere.

But not to me! Not for a mijillion years!

That's because St. Nicholas was a bishop.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My neighbor is blasting the song "Dancing Queen" into the hallway right now.

Are they having a party for you? Because they should be.

YAY ita!

Congrats on your progress so far, ita! What an accomplishment!

So, quick Buffista poll: I am deeply immersed in writing a press release that requires me to be thinking very clearly. I need to finish and send off a first draft tonight, but I'm getting really tired and muzzy-brained. Do I drink some caffeine, which I know will allow me to focus and finish but will likely keep me up all night--and keep in mind that I have a very long and hard work day tomorrow due to a glitch in the school schedule--or do I attempt to finish it still muzzy-brained and risk it not being as good (and also likely take a lot longer to write it)?
