We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

What are your plans for the long weekend (if you have to work on Monday - spew about your job/boss/company)?

I'll be spending half of it at home, helping Dad with Mom-care. The other half will involve RotS and G&Ts. The quantity of the last part will depend on how the first two go.

Where was your best vacation ever and why was it so freakin awesome?

I spent four days in Amsterdam, just last month. Four days of seeing some of the best art in the world, interacting with some terrific people, and seeing a beautiful city--I loved it. It was my first time in Europe (unless you count Iceland) and I can't wait to go back.

I missed the dinner for the seniors this year, should I 1)bake them all cookies and frost '05 on them? 2)bake a nice cake for them? 3)bake cupcakes and frost '05 on them? 4)buy them all '05 keychains?

Cookies. Frosting optional.

say something happymaking or nice that has happened this week.

I had home-made strawberry biscuits.

Recipe: Take a whole lot of strawberries, smush them up and add a couple teaspoons of sugar to draw out the juices. Bake a few biscuits. Butter the biscuts. Slather them with the berries. Drown the whole thing in whipped cream. Be sure to use real berries, butter, and cream for this--fake versions are blasphemous. It's way better than strawberry shortcake because it's not overwhelmingly sweet--the biscuits add a touch of richness and buttery goodness and crunch.

My cats have been unfailingly cute all week, and incredibly cuddly. Does that count?

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

I figure I can make him pay, so at least I'm not out the $10.

Yeah, but then you have to put out.

You know what? I think someone here smokes in the men's room. Which is LAME.

Don't shout at me -- I'm not the one trading seeing Episode Three for nookie.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, but then you have to put out.

Please. He still owes me [movie tickets] from when he was the student and I had the job.

I've been wanting a egg&chorizo (mmm, potatos and chorizo and egg and cheese and) breakfast burrito from BurgerTime all day.

Problem: nearest one is 2100 miles away.

Hmm. That is what I call strawberry shortcake. Though we use Bisquick mix and just sprinkle a little sugar on top before the baking, and don't butter the biscuits. But I agree about the yum. I'd go try to make some myself this weekend, but the strawberries we've gotten so far this year have been so crappy I'm reluctant to buy any.
