Somebody should give me a thorough, accurate recap of what happened with Tom Cruise. I feel like I've missed a major pop culture moment.

I'm guessing it's the same thing as the first paragraph here, but, though hilarious, that doesn't actually tell me much.

I have just confirmed that I wore one of the stolen pieces on Wednesday.

This is weirdly comforting; it means that our house was burglarized at most three days before we noticed it, rather than its standing unnoticed for weeks.

Oh, I didn't realize the second scenario was a possibility. take your comfort where you can, Betsy.

I am reminded of the time my parents went somewhere and left my sister staying at a friend's house. She popped back over to pick up something she'd forgotten at their place and was bewildered by the muddy footprints in the hallway and the missing VCR. Her first thought: "Why did Mom and Dad take the VCR with them?"

My working hypothesis is that the house was burgled by a Buffista who just couldn't bear the thought of our seeing Serenity.

It's okay, Buffista! You can put the jewelry back now! Alley alley in-come free!

Oh, Betsy, how awful. At least nobody was hurt.

gronk. Teacup Guy gave me his cold.

The teacup was a much better gift, IMHO.

Xander (not Alexander, just Xander) pretty much came into being along with the show. Faith might have gotten a spike from the show, too.

Cynthia has gone way down hill. I blame Cindy Brady. And Yoko Ono.

I'm sorry about the break-in, Betsy. Not in the copping-to-being-a-feloniously-jealous-Buffista kinda way. But still, I'm sorry it happened.

sj, I'm glad Teacup Guy's a giver. But brenda's right. Maybe a matching saucer would have been better, togetherness or no.

Is the 5 month anniversary the "cold" anniversary?
