Oh, my, dcp, that's gorgeous.

We don't have a single cloud in the sky here (a scorcher, again, they say), so that is especially lovely, since I hadn't seen these kinds of colors for a while up there.

And with that, I'm logging off. I have to go by the apartment, and later will be back here. Wanna place bets on whether I sleep or not? And if I do, for how long? And if I don't, how many minutes before I break anything? Oh, and there should be a bonus question there, too, only I can't think of one right now because if I do, the first thing I'll break will probably be my swindling imagination.

Night, all, I guess, right?

IF ONLY I'D KNOWN, I would have armed every non-Bush-supporter downtown with pie.

Huh. I didn't realize that Amber Tamblyn was Russ Tamblyn's daughter.

Morning! Nilly, I hope your all-nighter went okay.

I am too tired to be at work.

Regarding dishwashers: with four people living in an apartment designed for two people, plus our varying entourages, a dishwasher is a necessity. Now, the trick is getting any of us to actually *run* it, which generally occurs only when we realize that we don't have any clean dishes left.

Regarding BSG: It's entirely the fault of Steph that I started watching in the first place. She had the miniseries and the entire first season and was like, "You want?" I rarely pass up media, much to my woe and lack of time, but I copied it and eventually got around to watching it right before the second season started. It's intense, and probably wouldn't be my first choice of fandomy show, but you can't beat it for a hot-ass cast and interesting themes. Now, I have the premiere eps on my computer but haven't watched them yet. That's on the table for this weekend. Though I need to watch the last two webisodes too. I don't usually watch clip/catch-up episodes. If I need to know what's going on, I go online first to get the general lay of the land and then get the back catalogue of episodes/media. The only shows I've ever went into without seeing the episodes previously were Farscape, and by that point I knew enough about the show from what everyone here was saying that it was pretty easy to get into (though I got the back catalogue at the same time and started watching seasons 1 and 4 simulataneously), and NCIS, which doesn't really require explanation.

Amusingly, I think *Steph* still hasn't watched the BSG episodes she has.

Once again, Chumley fell for the "pill left amongst the very delicious cat treat crumbs" trick. He's too dumb to even wonder why he's being praised for gobbling down his treats.

Thanks, SA. It ended up not really being an "all nighter", because I just fell asleep for 2 hours when I went home in order to run some errands, change and srrange some stuff before shabbat/the holiday. However, those 2 hours were apparently magical, since I'm functioning perfectly, my fingers don't feel like a bunch of ton-weighing-noodles when I try to type, and I don't repeat to myself more than twice an hour that I just have to pull through until shabbat starts this afternoon.

Of course, I'll be back here to finish on Saturday evening, once shabbat is over. I even already bought myself the compensatory chocolate in advance.

However, this post is so not about me! Matt's amazing cake from yesterday was almost worthy of the occasion, because according to the Buffista Calendar, today is a triple Buffista birthday! Yup, Matt, Cashmere and megan walker were all born today.

So, happy birthday Cashmere! Happy birthday, megan! Happy birthday, Matt! Lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year to all of you!

Happy Birthday, Matt!!!

I'm glad you got some sleep, Nilly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Matt!

I think two hours when it's already getting light out still counts as an all-nighter.

What a beautiful picture, dcp.

So, did you midwest-istas end up with snow sticking? I just heard they're getting two feet in Buffalo! Earliest Lake Effect snow ever!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Happy Birthday, birthday mates, Matt the Bruins fan and megan walker! (and my twin sister!)
