I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Jilli, do you read the New York Times? Their fashion supplement was about men's fashion this week, but there was more than one mention of Goth-like fashion in it.

Huzzah!!

Now I just have to finish putting together the goodie package for you, and get it in the mail.

Oh, random question: could anyone tell me how long the stage production of Wicked runs?

Aroo? No, I don't read the NY Times. I guess I'll have to track down the fashion suppliment and take a look at it.

If you can't track it down, I can photocopy a couple of the articles and send them to you. Let me know.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

A good 2.5 hours-ish. (How's that for precise?)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

It's as precise as the folks on Broadway get. They just use different words.

Happy birthday erika!

And a belated happy birthday to Lee! (I thought we could stretch out the celebration for a few more days.)

Well, about what I figured. Oh! And I just checked the main website for the show, and they say 2 hours, 43 minutes. Now I know.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Your dad knew that you had this obligation, you needed to buy stuff for your place, and that it would be hard to do both. So, he spent his money on you so that you can spend your money on someone else.

WEIRD.

Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Yup, it's what I call the "pay it forward" principle. My folks would help me out, then I would help my daughter out. Eventually, she will help her kids out. The payout doesn't necessarily have to be instantaneous; sometimes you're in the position to pay forward right away, sometimes it's two months or two years down the road. The satisfaction comes from knowing your assistance keeps the taproot growing. Kind of like manure.

The status is NOT quo.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Cass}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Even if you think you're ready, you never are. I'm so sorry you're going through this, love. I wish I could teleport myself to you for wine and snuggles (and possibly clicky fire).

However, this:

I just ran my fingertip over with a table. I am going to have to turn in my adult card, aren't I? Seriously. I rolled a table (with my computer on it) over my fingernail. It not only hurts but I feel compelled to mock myself.
made me want to say,"BACK INTO YOUR BUBBLEWRAP, MISSY!"

Seriously, take good care of yourself today. Chocolate and fresh flowers and bubbly bath and sleep and brainless happy tv.
