treadmill tests that revealed the bats' hidden talent for running
Okay, where do I sign up for the job that involves putting bats on treadmills? That sounds like much more fun than logging tapes.
Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I want to see film of the running bats.

A guide to when Passover, Easter, etc. fit in the calendar: [link]
Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Usually this falls within Passover, but not on the years the Jewish lunar calendar gets an extra month added to keep it in synch with the solar year.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I hear that putting the tiny little Nikes on their little batfeet can be a pain in the arse.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Our wings are not tired.

I say we all agree to a new calendar where every month has the same number of days and everyone's holidays fall on the same day. One a month would be nice, perhaps 15 months per year. The name of the month would reflect the holiday being celebrated that month. Like Christmukah could be a month.

The O.C. basically bored me last night. I just do. not. care. about Trey. Excellent Julie Cooperage, though.
And I'm trusting in Joss on who should be cast as WW. (Read, I'll care when I see a trailer for the movie, and not before.)
Also, Happy Purim and a (peaceful? blessed? not sure what adjective I want.) Good Friday.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ER was fun last night. That's why I can't quite kick the habit. Though, after reading the blackfont around the whitefont here, I was panicked that Gallant was going to buy it -- I actually fastforwarded through the closing montage because I had to know if the copter blew up in his face or something.

I've probably said this before, but the thing I like about E.R. is I can tune in once or twice a season and pick up who everyone is and what they want enough to enjoy the show, even though I only recognize four actors right now. It's strangely comforting that way.

It's funny, if you've seen bats crawl around on the walls, it doesn't seem so surprising that they can run. And yet....it is! And a really hysterical image. As is
"just smack their wings against the ground and freak out"as a technical description.
