Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This was a while ago but

FTR, Urth Caffe rocks for people watching, but that nagging feeling that you should know the very able-looking guys who parked their Rolls in the handicapped spot can get distracting.

Was it Brett Ratner?

Edited to fix my second Bruce/Brett Ratner error today.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

GA continues to break me.

The two hour nap yesterday led to sleeping from 11:30 to 5:30. I feel good though - stretched some, saluted the sun - and now, yummy malt-o-meal.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You have sun, msbelle? It's all rainy and crappy where I am.

I salute an imaginary sun, it is on my livingroom wall.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

There is about a half inch of S N O W on everything outside -- quite disturbing, as it was up in the 60s this weekend. I'd like the weather to decide on something and stick with it....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But Cass, it's so much a chick thing, and it's painted as the worst thing ever. I'm not saying it's fun, or even something to shrug off, but she kills the guy in the end of the episode, and it feels like that's the only just end to the story. It's somewhat akin to the reformed prostitute who can't put out without heart just one more time to save the man she loves.

Why don't guys get those dilemmas? In real life, women can regard sex as business. TV and movies seems to have forgotten that a sympathetic woman can do any dissociation.

Bon, it was a bunch of black guys and an Asian chick. So we need to add to the Ratnerian files.

I just realised that my neuro appointment overlaps with my work status meeting. Why did I not check these things before I accepted the invitation? Pff.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Gronklies. It's not quite 9, and I've already taught one class today. It went pretty well, I think. Kind of found some little bit of energy, and did a lot of "who wants to come up to the board and show how to do this problem?" stuff, which I've been told I should do more of anyway. So now collapsing. Soon, will find coffee. (Well, soon will buy coffee. Coffee is everywhere, so no finding needed. Starbucks in this building, coffee cart outside the building, Starbucks across the street, random over-priced coffee across the street in the other direction, Au Bon Pain down the block. Lots of coffee available.)

Whee! Finished up my status report and timesheet and got those mailed out. It's very strange being held to a 40 hour standard, and having to justify all the time that doesn't fall into a project. It's not like I'm either billable or responsible for drumming up my own work.

Ah, well.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

ita, nobody should say "Whee!" at 6:00 am their time. I'm not sure I could manage it yet and it's 9 here.

I was at work early! It's a late January miracle!
