I'm going to ask for some Buffista help here - not for me, but for a situtation. We have n*a*z*i*s coming to town (starred to avoid search engines). We have idiots in town who want to get in shouting matches with them. However we have a compromise where they will be confronted with song lyrics and poetry quotations rather shouting matches if we can get a quick collection together. So can you post or e-mail me at profile with links to good lyrics and poems for this purpose? profile is good.

I wasn't sure if my suggestion of singing something from The Sound of Music would be sufficiently traumatic for the goosesteppers, but then my drive locked up playing an midi of "These Are a Few of My Favorite Things" and after hearing it play 15 times I'm convinced it's one of the most pernicious earworms known to humanity. Serenade in gleeful disdain.

My best friend was just being sad that although she'd done something for her husband for their anniversary today, he hadn't done anything back. She understood that they were both busy and stressed (they're shooting a movie) and that he doesn't really do much but...you know. Something would have been nice. She finally tracked him down (he's been out all day) and he's told her to get pretty because they have a 6pm reservation, and their daughter will be staying with his mother.

How sweet! It's almost as good as the time my sister came over to bemoan everyone being insensitive to her birthday, and then went home to a surprise party in her apartment.

People who care for people are great.

Yet, somehow, I'm still in a pissy mood. A wee touch less pissy than before, though.

Do we know what shows have been renewed for next year? Bones, specifically?

Flickr has turned their Explore und Interestingnessinto a "cats only" extravaganza.

It is humid outside, but nice temp.

Well, that's true.

I have returned home, and gotten my eyebrows done. Maybe I'll watch Mean Girls now! Yay for free Showtime.

Kathy, I NEVER get a refund from the State of Illinois. Someday I hope to break even, but I usually get pretty close. I'll, most likely, have to write a check to the State for some smallish amount.

Must be Well Groomed Eyebrow Day. Mine need to be done, but with the black eye, it's not happening.

At least you're saving money on eyeliner.

Every day should be Well Groomed Eyebrow Day!

There was a woman on What Not To Wear last night who had severely overtweezed brows. I understood why when I saw her brother, who not only had a unibrow, it was racing to meet his beard. Dude was HAIRY.
