That's interesting, Nilly. I'm kind of afraid it's too late now -- everyone I know is coupled up, as are most people they know! Literally, at the wedding I was at last weekend, there were two single guys there. I am trying to expand my horizons, though -- I'm trying to go to everything I'm invited to that's not my core group of people-I-already-know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Grokster lost.
Bloody hell. Any news yet on the 10 commandments case (also expected today)?
on edit: Woo-hoo! (the inlaws are gonna be whining)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes. Ten commandments in public buildings = bad. With an exception for "historical" stuff.

I know! Weddings used to be such a great place to hook up meet people! What happened. Last wedding I attended, there was one single guy. And he was a hot tub salesman from Canada. Nice guy, but no.
ION, is anyone watching The Closer on TNT? What do you think?

I've wanted to watch, but it's on past my bedtime. Is it worth taping?

Har. That's like the setup to a bad joke right there.

Twentysomethings being dubbed `Entitlement Generation' for their lofty job expectations
Evan Wayne thought he was prepared for anything during a recent interview for a job in radio sales.
Then the interviewer hit the 24-year-old Chicagoan with this: "So, we call you guys the `Entitlement Generation,'" the Baby Boomer executive said, expressing an oft-heard view of today's young workforce. "You think you're entitled to everything."
Such labeling is, perhaps, a rite of passage for every crop of twentysomethings. In their day, Baby Boomers were rabble-rousing hippies, while Gen Xers were apathetic slackers.
Now, deserved or not, this generation is being pegged, too--as one with shockingly high expectations for salary, job flexibility and duties but little willingness to take on grunt work or remain loyal to a company.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Man, I wish my friends would set me up on blind dates. I've got nothing!!
Dude, I'm sorry. I could set you up over here, and there were in fact a handful of single guys at the Zmayhem wedding (which you foolishly ditched for some family thing. What. Ev.), but the only truly stellar guy I know anywhere in the tri-state area is getting married in August.
Also, t frolics in birthday wishes like a puppy in a pile of autumn leaves

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday JZ!
