I love the fact that Jim Steinman's idea of a touching ballad is The Anvil Chorus

Well, there's strings-and-crooning touching, then there's heavy metal touching.

Well, there's strings-and-crooning touching, then there's heavy metal touching.

And then there's pounding on someone's chest and shouting, "LIVE, YOU BASTARD, LIVE!!!" For a broken fingernail.

Cash is a taunty pants. So are the Bitches. I came home to 260 posts and I figured everyone was squeeing over the buffistalet. Only to find out you're still mocking Jim Steinman. Wow, when we're on a roll, we're on a roll.

anything in the metro Seattle area that was mailed by Saturday should be here now.

You'd be surprised. I sent two separate checks in August to New York -- neither one got there.

Only to find out you're still mocking Jim Steinman.

I come not to praise the Steinman, but to bury him. In a gigantic crypt with its own smoke machine, decorated with statues and reliefs of guitar-playing werewolves and a choir of scantily-clad women wrenching power chords from the very fabric that is so conspicuously absent from their own apparel.

billytea, I can't remember -- are you in Canberra? Because if you are, you need to attend the Earthly Delights historical dance group's Pirates of the Caribbean Costume Ball (scroll down that page a wee bit), to celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Hee. It sounds like fun, but I live in Melbourne now. I'm originally from Canberra, though.

Aha! I knew somehow Canberra was relevant in your CV.

And also -- BAH at your not being near the Talk Like a Pirate hoedown.

Watching the rerun of yesterday's TDS -- I just freaking LOVE JS.

Aha! I knew somehow Canberra was relevant in your CV.

Indeed it is. Loves me some Canberra.

And also -- BAH at your not being near the Talk Like a Pirate hoedown.

I know! What kind of a God etc. (A Pirate God! "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Yarr." Here endeth the lesion. Next week: God makes Adam and Eve walk the plank!)

Ha! I took a long nap this afternoon and didn't get back online.

Sorry to leave everyone hanging.

Baby spoilers are in! *It's a GIRL buffista baby!!!*

Have you seen the most recent picture of him?

Dear lord. Emmett is HUGE! And OLD! Wow.

meara, I love the lengthy mearas. Don't ever hold back

Good, cause it's the only way for me to feel like I"m participating and keeping up, given that I don't post during the day at work!!

I miss the meara-ing, too, (almost as much as I miss the meara herself!), but I can't seem to that much in my head these days

Head schmead! I open up another window with a posting box, and fill it up as I read...

All that was assigned in the first week and is due this week. For 2 classes

For two classes, you have three papers due the first week? Dear GOD!

But, I do have new folders and spirals

Heh. And that would be the BESTEST part of school!

I HATE YOU ALL AND YOUR EVIL EVIL EARWORMS.

Personally, I'm not even sure "We Built This City" is Jefferson Airplane/Starship's worst song. "Sara" at least gives it a run for the money

Y'know, I have to agree with this.

"I Spent My Last Ten Dollars on Birth Control and Beer."

OK, that one's a lesbian CLASSIC, yo!!

Well, since fetuses get their oxygen through the umbilical cord, I guess you could say that the wee Cashlet is already getting aired on cable...

Hahah! I love how super dorky we all are.

The bad news: There was a leak in the wall between my bathroom and living room. The good news: they came and fixed it. The bad news: they left a big hole. The good news: They did a very good job of making it look like the hole just...appeared...without moving my stuff. We'll see when they actually FIX the hole, they said "soon".

YAY FOR CASHMERE's SPOILER!

Cash, SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
