That's great news about your boss, Steph. I'm glad he's beating the odds. I also think that if anyone at your company buys a lotto ticket anytime soon it should be him. 'Cause wow.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That rocks about Big!Boss!
I'm so sad for Wasserstein's family and friends. Her daughter's about 10? Not even? "The Heidi Chronicles" was the main reason I got into playwriting - before WW, I thought only men could write plays.
ION, I was just reading this article [link] on the fake rock that the Brits were using in Russia for spy stuff, and am amused by:
British intelligence once had a specialist in camel dung, Mr. Mendez said, who crafted realistic facsimiles matched to country and species.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Oh. V. saddened by the Wasserstein news.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I saw Uncommon Women and Others in the PBS production in 1978. My first exposure to Meryl Streep, Swoosie Kurtz and Jill Eikenberry. And Wendy Wasserstein. Though it was set in 1970, it was still a very accurate portrait of what I would experience at college. I remember being surprised of the use of James Taylor and Winnie the Pooh as recurring motifs. That's very sad for Wendy to die so young.

Oh, man. Swoozie Kurtz as Rita. Heh. "I've tasted my menstrual blood!" "Oh, gross me out, Rita!"

I attended the same church as Swoozie Kurtz for a number of years, and every time I saw her that line ran through my head.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That's sad about Wendy Wasserstein.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Ah yes - the good ol' days... when children were demonic.
