Huh. So I just learned that power in my building comes from two separate and not-interdependent lines. How? They keep losing power in the core of the building. I've not heard so much as a single whoomp. I am about as far from the core as you can be without being outside. Kinda weird.
Yeah, we're building a race of frog-people. It's a good time

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yay hamentashen! (I always love Purim, because my middle name is Esther and there are nummy cookies.)
Happy Ides Of March!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously, can someone make this lady call me back?
Also, Julius Caesar's March wouldn't be the same month as ours, would it? I mean, had they shifted the calendar by then?

Oh, der. Julian Calendar: [link]

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Indeed. I think they were on the Julian calendar and we're on the Gregorian.

Yeah, but there's not much difference between the Julian and the Gregorian.

I learned as a kid that Hamentaschen were "Haman's hat." Probably, children's books were not up to articulating the idea of bloody amputated ears.
their reading of the "megilah" (the book of Esther)
Nilly, are you familiar with the expression "the whole megillah"? It's Yinglish for "everything." On of my favorite Yinglishisms.
Also, Julius Caesar's March wouldn't be the same month as ours, would it? I mean, had they shifted the calendar by then?
Well, they would really have noticed if their year was only 10 months long. I think July and August were renamed from something else, not added in. Although there have been calendar revisions since then, which is why the Russian Revolution is called Red October, despite it happening (according to the US calendar) in November.

I was just musing! Carry on, doom-sayers. Or -bringers, whichever.

Wolfram! How is the new baby? And her older siblings? Did they wear costumes yesterday?
She's great, and her older siblings had a great time dressing up as (in age order) Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah. They fight crime.
Sorry I've been superlurker, but I'm trying to cram a month's worth of work into my last two weeks here.
