Clearly the NYT Dining section this week is geared towards Citibank employees.
Heh, I should have been more clear -- they're guides to affordable champagne (bottles under $30) and caviar (they recommend American farmed sturgeon).
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

TAR: The producers must have really hated the Weavers, because they made the final challenge that unlabeled map and then the challenge that sumi linked to, they weren't going to do any better on. Moral of the story: if you homeschool, please pay more attention to geography.
Not to mention etiquette, kindness, bigotry and so on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Apparently that's how it works in the World of Finance? Your base salary is kind of bullshit, because the bonuses are so big?
Pretty much. Everyone who works above me, including my boss, my boss's boss, and my boss's boss's boss, has the same base salary as I do.

Next month will be okay as well. It's just I took over the finances in November with a whole bunch of overdue bills . Then we did the dogs (which I really didn't want to do right then) and that ended up costing a whole lot of money last month. Then there are the extra expenses of December with gifts and travel and property taxes. January should be much better.

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
One of the better eps of the season, I'd say.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maureen Dowd editorializes on Bush's bubble [link]
The president's bubble requires constant care. It's not easy to keep out huge tragedies like Katrina, or flawed policies like Iraq. As Newsweek noted, a foreign diplomat "was startled when Secretary of State Rice warned him not to lay bad news on the president. 'Don't upset him,' she said."
Um... huh? "Don't upset him" ?!?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Not to mention etiquette, kindness, bigotry and so on.
I normally watch TAR, but just didn't have it in me to watch families racing, so I didn't watch a single ep. This statement makes me glad I didn't.
