Well, Shavuot also has an all-night studying of Judaism (or, well, not a must-stay-up-all-night, but rather "try to study until you fall asleep" sort of custom). But I didn't want to mention that, now that you're all graduated and can relax and the like.

Well, damn, I did that for a Bible as Lit course!

That earns me at least a glass of ice water in Gehanna, right?

I can't believe it, but Woot! hasn't sold out of them yet. It's a good price, Nora. "Surprise" Tom with it.

I'd like to offer non-Christians some chocolate bunnies to eat

I would absolutely love that. Do you think they make any kosher ones?

Oh, now I'm curious - what did you study in that class?

[Edited for: Erin! How nice to post with you! Is the school year over for you already?]

Spidra! I hadn't posted with you in a while - I don't think I even got to congratulate you on the new job, so - congratulations!

Thanks, Nilly! I love being online the same time as you. You are "da bomb", as the kids say.

And I am certain they make kosher chocolate bunnies. Just 'cause this is America.

Furniture update: The shipper just called me to tell me he's in front of my building. They told me they were going to deliver between 12 and 3 today. I'm at work this morning.

Oh yes -- the Passover/Easter overlap guarantees it.

ION, Venture Bros. Season 1 on DVD / Season 2 starts in June (I think I saw).

Yeah!

Analysis: Why does doing something nice for myself have to suck?

It doesn't. Furniture deliveries are just a pain in the ass 8 times out of 10. Something goes awry. They're early. You're late. The couch won't fit through the hallway.

we have to eat it before the actual (meat containing) meal, due to the kosher rules.

This sounds like a kid's dream. "You have to eat your dessert before you can have dinner!"

Why does doing something nice for myself have to suck?

It doesn't suck. Delivery sucks. It's kind of a rule. Sorry bout that.

Congestion when the weather is hot also sucks. Especially since I suspect it is mild allergies + heat that is causing it. I'm told I'll have functional a/c today. I'll believe it when I feel it.

Oh yes, I got word this week that Amazon has shipped my order of Venture Brothers and Robot Chicken. Isn't that nice of them?

Why does doing something nice for myself have to suck?

So that you'd feel entitled for doing some more nice things for yourself?

Sorry it has to be so annoying. Will they arrive later, when you're out of work, on the time you agreed upon?

the Passover/Easter overlap guarantees it.

Yay!

sara, good luck with the a/c.
