Happy Birthday, Owen!
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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.

Ann, that's a ferret.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
Drive-by. If anyone is feeling nostalgic for stortroopers (the pixelated characters who did such sterling work to make our time on WorldCrossing a little more enjoyable), they are back with an expanded wardrobe selection: [link]
I saw it on boingboing, so expect the site to crash soon.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I was at a baseball game today, but it was Jays and Red Sox.
So, Mr. Sweden, what do you think of the changes to Skydome Rogers Centre? We decided that late-inning grounder to Bellhorn, that should have been a double play but wasn't, was a result of the sand kicking up off the ball like a mirage. (When you see something moving on the "grass" in your peripheral vision, you've got to wonder whether you actually have the ball in your glove.)
Also, who thought those displays on the outfield wall were a plan? And who, based on that plan, thought it was a good idea to install sharpened panels??
In other news, I saw a motorcade this morning on my way to work. It was at Arlington and St. James Ave. in the Back Bay, heading west, a caravan of black SUVs and motorcycle cops stoppnig traffic. George W. Bush? Kofi Annan? J. Lo? I would say it's something related to the opener at Fenway, but I don't think any of those three cools his/her heels for the 4 hours before the rigmarole gets underway at 1.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy Birthday Owen!
I caught up on Grey's Anatomy with the reruns on Saturday. I like it.

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

What is even happening?
That's a eulogy from an interesting perspective. There's admiration, disappointment, and respect, all bound up into one tight bundle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
There was no Patrick Dempsey in my dreams. shame. Still had a wonderful night's sleep.
Today I have a job interview. I'm dressed all business snazzy. I haven;t yet figured out my excuse to leave work early, but I'm not too worried about it.

"it's your tiny ineffectual fists....and you're bossy..."
I cracked up at the first instance of that reference. Quite a bit, yes.
Cashmere, my SIL had a chocolate cake for my nephew's first b-day and he adored demolishing it. It was quite fun. Especially when he decided he didn't want to get his hands any more gooey so he went at it with no hands. Be prepared for a very um, interesting diaper the next day, though. Well, if he eats as much as D did.
OH & good luck, msbelle.

vw, we were in Harvard Square last night too, for dinner and a show. We went to Tanjore but sadly, no Burdicks. Hee! it would have been cool to run into you all,, all random style.
