The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Did the sun come out in other parts of the world this morning? My little hilltop is completely fogged in.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Happy birthday, Kalshane!

You know what's nice? Spending the evening reading National Geographic's latest on Africa and getting old memories tickled.

Hey, thanks for reminding me I need to go seek that out.

billytea, I echo what everyone else has said: it's so wonderful to see you really happy in a new relationship. She's a lucky woman! But what's this Plan Wally of which you speak?

t rolling eyes forever at Pat Robertson

Happy Birthday, Kalshane!

Cursed Aleve, why is it that you can clear up my migraine-impaired vision enough that I can't justify staying home from work, but you can't actually get rid of the headache?

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

Did the sun come out in other parts of the world this morning?

The sun will come out tomorrow.

Also, Happy birthday, Kalshane!

Ann, that's a ferret.

IIRC, it was Falwell who said it on Robertson's show.

Both said it -- or one said it and the other agreed.

You're correct -- my bad. Falwell said it, Robertson agreed.

They both blamed America (or at least Americans) for 9/11.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

29 is a good year.

I hope so. It's funny. I was never really young and stupid (I mean, I was young, and I did my fair share of stupid things, but I never did any of the stuff most people associate with young and stupid) and as I get closer to 30, I wonder if I missed out on my chance. Not that I really want to go out on a drunken bender or whatever, but I just feel a little left out when people talk about all the crazy things they did in their teens and early twenties and the best I can offer is "Well, I used to spar with blunted metal swords until I nearly broke my hand." I realize I'm probably in a better place now than I would have been if I had done stuff like that, but it still seems like I'm missed out on something.

To stay on topic, as it were, then there's folks like Pat Robinson who will apparently be stupid no matter how old they get. At this point the craxy doesn't even surprise me any more.

Looks out window. Notes a beautiful blue sky and the mild, low-70s tempratures. Points west and laughs.

Happy birthday, Kalshane!

Today is my ultimate day of vacation.

AM SAD.

Also, I'm doing laundry and reorganizing the linen closet. I live a life on the edge!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I still have my list you know.

Hey, would you look at that, Frankenbuddha and Tommy are still on it.

Falwell said:

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"

He later semi-apologized, saying that only the terrorists were responsible but that the people mentioned above may have caused God to lift his/her veil of protection or something like that.
