Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Raise your hands all those who thought -t was talking about Topic!Cindy at first.

Well crap.

Just because your new hair cut is sucky, that does not mean you should try fixing it yourself.

This is a fine how-to-you-do.

Just saw Batman Begins on Saturday. Generally, I haven't been into the Batman movies, nor Superman ones, et al. But this movie is so. damn. good. So yeah for you, -t!

You live in Chicago. Just wear a babushka over it like the women in my grandma's old neighborhood do.

What happened, brenda?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh! The barn! Do the doors still moo when you open them?

Also, Evie has killed me with her cute.

Re the 50 most loathsome list, I have only the vaguest idea of who this guy is, but I love his listing and want to marry it and have its bitter little babies:

36. Stephen Moore

Crimes: President of voodoo economics PAC the Club for Growth and frequent Republican whipping boy on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” Moore actually snivels visibly. Follows every evil statement with a pussified “just kidding—sort of” laugh and shriveling “please don’t hurt me” body language. May be the least original thinker of all supply side policy drones.

Smoking Gun: Missing out on the heart and soul of what’s fun about being Republican, freedom from self-consciousness and doubt.

Punishment: Smacked to death by Richard Belzer.

Also, apparently I am #41. I can't even work up a decent pretense of shame about it. I'm even okay with my punishment, is just how loathsome I am.

Also, re #39, hey! Leave Vin Diesel out of it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ugh. Curly-haired folk will understand what happens when the stylist doesn't listen and cuts distinct clear layers. I thought I could at least fix the front a bit. I used to cut my own, and since the object is to have it not be even, it's sometimes doable. But this is just too much. The only way to fix it now will be to attack the whole thing, and I'm not going to attempt that. [Um, check back later and see if that holds true.]

At any rate, it looks like I'm going back to actual short hair, as opposed to the shortish bob I've been sporting recently.

I'm pretty sure I was going to have to go have it fixed anyway, but now I don't think I can wait the two weeks until I get paid again.

Anyone more talented than me got a scissors handy?

Oh! I forgot about that. We also had the parking garage, and, best of all, the castle. Complete with dragon, who lived in a little dungeon around the back.
