Happy Zmayhem Day! Can it really be two years?
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Natter .44 Magnum: Do You Feel Chatty, Punk?
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Can it really be two years?
Technically, no. It's actually been about a month and half, but crammed full of incident and commuting.

'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"
In the meantime, I've come into possession of a five gallon wet/dry vac courtesy of the nice people at Sears, and I've maybe emptied about half the basement water at a rate of about twenty gallons every three minutes. So not fun....
I think, technically, every anniversary is a duct tape anniversary.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

What are the odds that the Bush administration will abuse all this monitoring phone records stuff? Apparently really high.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today is a crappy day, much befitting the label "Monday."

From Salon:
When a Washington Post/ABC News poll found last week that 63 percent of Americans approved of the NSA's collection of information about virtually every telephone call made in America, we were so skeptical that we didn't even pass it along. Maybe we were guilty of thinking "from the gut," but the poll seemed to be taken too soon to provide an accurate read on public opinion, and its results didn't square with what we know -- or, at least, what we think we know -- about the importance Americans place on their privacy.
It seems that we were right. A new USA Today/Gallup poll taken over the weekend has 51 percent of Americans disapproving of the NSA program and 62 percent saying that Congress should hold hearings immediately. A Newsweek poll comes up with a similar result; in it, 53 percent of Americans say they think the NSA "goes too far in invading people's privacy."
