I am so ready to go home. Today has been dragging. It doesn't help that the clock for our phone system is 5 minutes fast and I have to keep reminding myself when I look at it that it's not that close to 5 yet.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

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.

I edit XML in Notepad, but I don't do much of it.

Tom Cruise is giving this lecture?

I think I need the burial plot next to Betsy's.
Last week MADtv did a celebrity roast skit about Rosa Parks. She ended up getting mad, grabbing the microphone, and busting on all the assembled celebrities. The funniest of the jokes was "Mrs. Parks" telling Pamela Anderson that she'd been on her knees more than Tom Cruise in the Scientologists' steam room.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I never edit XML directly, except when I have to edit XSL I do it in MS Visual Studio .Net.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Question for Plei (or anyone who knows): What are you using to edit XML? A tool? or Notepad?
I've used XMetal, XMLSpy, Notepad, and Homesite for it at jobs, and have a random assortment of free tools at home.
My ideal tool, though, is one that mainly color codes and validates, so I'm not the best person to ask.

Oh, and I've also used (spits) Authentic.

I do everything in Notepad, so I don't know any. I have a friend of mine who needs to do some XML to Oracle transformation and needs to rewrite some XML schemas to pull it off.

My XML editor of choice is nxml-mode for emacs, but sadly that requires that you know emacs, which takes years to become proficient.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wait. Sorry. That's Home And Away. Neighbours buses in some brunettes as part of Australia's cultural correctness laws.
Good lord. I was just drafting a "No, you're thinking of Home and Away" response to the first paragraph. dw knows his Aussie soaps.
Cultural observation: American soaps generally have only a passing resemblance to real life. Everyone is dressed in designer clothes. Everyone sleeps with everyone else, eventually. Money is only an object when a character is being forced to become a hooker.
British soaps are gritty-realistic. Set in a working class area. Broad range of body types and age groups. Most characters are struggling to get by.
Australian soaps feature storylines like "Timmy gets a haircut".
WWE: soap opera for men. Relevant sexes are goodies and baddies. The central concern of who's sleeping with who is replaced with the question of who's beating the crap out of who. Such (non-wrestling) women as there are manage the difficult trick of being both two-dimensional and inflatable.
