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!"

Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

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

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.

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.

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)?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay, ita! Any chance you feel up to dinner? Maybe I can drag meara to your end of town.

Do ALL bishops wear red with a wide white trim?

Happy Birthday, Tom!
Yay, ita!
Kristin, is there any way you could write it and have someone double check it for you, as muzzy-headed insurance, before you send it off?
