Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Fiona's birthday. Happy birthday, Fiona! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, since I may not have internet access then, Saturday, the 28th, will be aurelia's birthday, so early wishes for her, as well!

'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"

Gronklies, all!

I don't know if it's been mentioned here, but NJ dipped its toe into the gay marriage pool -- not exactly recognizing gay marriage, but (like VT) admitting that the existing system is unequal and must be changed.

I'm only afeared that the neo-cons will actually get some traction on it in the polls.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Happy birthday, Fiona!

30 Rock: My god, that was hilarious. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep watching after the dicey humor of the first two episodes, but this is fantastic. I was laughing the entire time. The only way it would have been better would have been if Tina Fey had actually turned out to be a lesbian. I think they made the right choice to limit Tracey Morgan--he was what was really turning me off from the show. Alec Baldwin, however, freaking owns the screen. the poker game was *fantastic.*

GG: This is the first time I've really, actively liked GG so far this season. I thought the stuff between Christopher and Lorelai was intriguing, and as much as I have whiplash from the character turnaround, from Luke to Chris, I can't say I'm disappointed. She seems easier with him. Less trying hard to be in a relationship, more just being in a relationship. And the last scene of L, C, and R driving home in the car was brilliant, for the first few seconds of peaceful family togetherness, and the the aching look of hope Rory got; to Christopher bobbing his head super-dorkily to the music; and then finally to the pickles smell. Wonderful. If the show sticks along these lines, I'll be happy to keep watching.

ION, training someone is frustrating and boring. I want it to be the weekend already.

Good morning Brenda! Did you have a good birthday?

I did! Though I didn't really do anything.

One new thing - I got a card made out of that really rough textured recycled paper. Except apparently it has flower seeds embedded in it, and you're supposed to soak it and bury it and eventually you get flowers. Weird - anyone seen this? Does it work?

Plant it, I guess, would the more appropriate word than bury.

I would imagine there are seeds in biodegradeable recycled paper, thus quick to flower.

Hmm. May have to acquire some dirt.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Most important bit from "Top Chef": Did anyone else catch Ming Tsai checking out Padma Lakshmi's ass when she went to go get the losing team?
