Buffistas

A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

In Jamaica we don't have much weather--the temperatures are pretty constant, as are the thunderstorms.

Can you set your watch by them? "Here comes the 3:00pm thunderstorm...."

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

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.

Except that the Julian calendar wasn't the same as a year, so as time went on, it was getting more and more out of whack, hence the need for the Gregorians to fix it (at least, that's my understanding), so who knows when JC's March came.

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

Hi Nilly!

Purim Sameach!

I have no hamentashen, but my mother just called from the grocery store to ask what kind of hamentaschen I like, so I suspect I'll have some soon.

Supergirl, Princess, and a Torah. They fight crime.

That sounds so cute.

And, um possibly not work appropriate, but a Purim video that's been cracking me up all week: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that's hilarious.

Gideon Oliver was brilliant but cancelled? Really? Huh.

I'm mostly buzzed about Johnny Staccato. I've only seen one episode (fate being what it is, probably the same episode as on the DVD set), but it looked fun.

I only know the themesong for Johnny Staccato, strangely enough.

Oh crap. I should have gone to the link - I thought they were putting out the whole thing.

They really ought to. Maybe pull out Honey West while they're at it (that only lasted a season, right?).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. I own two Johnny Staccato tapes, so I could bring them to the F2F. (I bought them at Kim's Video in NYC, if anybody's shopping there.)

EZ Streets will get it's own disc,

Cool! Tim Goodman of the Chron will wet himself with joy.
