Those sound pretty, Sheryl. And I admire your restraint.
Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

Thanks, everyone!
Today is not only my birthday, but in approximately 45 minutes, I will have officially been on this earth for 30 years.
My father asked if it was traumatic, or if people just kept telling me it should be traumatic. So far, minimal trauma level. Large meal last night; today, I've been mostly glued to the computer, playing a game with lots of shooting and blowing up of things.

What is even happening?
Happy Birthday, Dana!!!
I loved turning 30. I don't know why, but I did. May it be so for you.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I put on outside pants, and my shoes.
Perkins, have I told you how much I love the concept of "outside pants"? Because I do. I had to explain it to my mother the other weekend, too.
I liked turning 30 quite a bit, but I have to confess that I'm really looking forward to my next birthday -- 33! I have a friend who put a great perspective on the 30 thing, which is that if you're really going to fuck up your life, odds are it'll be in your 20s. So if you make it to 30 OK, things should be fine.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hee. I bought two more pairs of inside pants last night, at Old Navy (their "just bottoms"). They were cheap. and are sooo comfortable.
I liked being 30, but I spent my 30th birthday in a hotel room in Portland, ME, knowing I was getting sick, and thinking I had blown the job interview I had in Portland, so NSM turning 30.

My actual 30th birthday was the bomb. Well, the day itself was whatever like all of my birthdays (morning with family, then travel), but I got a surprise party a couple of weeks earlier! With special guests from out of town! And all of my friends! It was fab.

Aw, George from GA is on this L&O:CI. He looks surprisingly different.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Five-dimensional Rubik's Cube puzzle
MagicCube5D is a five-dimensional analog of the Rubik's Cube puzzle. It comes as a Windows executable, and requires that you grok a little n-dimensional topology before you can try to solve it -- so far, three brave souls have!
I hate those three people....

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I had a great 30th birthday party. The speech was extra-fun, I went through what I learned from my family. "From my father I learned that you can go to work every day in a wig and a dress and still command respect. ...From Gareth I learned that all new kids at our high school get their heads flushed down the toilet. Then I got to high school and I learned that Gareth is a liar. ...And from my sister I learned that it was time to leave home." In response to Keiran's heckling, something about sexual positions, "I hear that your favourite position is man on top, woman in magazine." One of the few times I've seen him at a loss for a response.
