Hey juliana. The bug and I are home. I made her drive from BART. I figured she was more sober than me. Had fun, even with entertaining friend...we will have to find alternate talky time.

eta - there was an earthquake in Berkeley while we were in the bar. I thought I felt something, but neither you or K-Bug commented when it felt like someone stumbled into the back of our booth, so I figured I'd had enough wine. Nope. Earthquake.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Nope. Pete doesn't have a 360, just a regular Xbox.

do you have to have an Xbox360?

Halo 2 is an original Xbox title. Both original & 360s can play against each other. SExM; double check whatever 2 month trial you have, because they have expiry dates.

ION, I'm listening to the UK's Virgin Radio which is only an hour away from performing a live pantomime featuring Brian Blessed and David tennant (of Doctor Who fame). Should be a great laugh.

Woohooo I made it to the end! I can post now!

Ya just don't wanna skim the Bitches. You miss so much cool stuff!

KristinT- Frag warm-up will start at our house in the afternoon (2-3ish) and frag fest will likely commence around 5.

Thank goodness! A Xmas Miracle! Cuz I can't take the whole day off. Stupid educational touring show. Pfft! Plus I'll still need to worky on stupider CHRISTMAS CAROL (hate that show!!! no offense ND)

So, traffic gawds being nice, I should make it by the 5 ish start time, but will probably miss the bulk of the warm up session. Geez, I hope I don't pull a hammy without proper warm up.

Omnis, send your gamertag to ND and to my profile addy.

:: looks for babelfish... wonders if they work in eyes for reading ::

er..um... pardon the Xbox ignorance. What is Gamertag? I'll be playing up at ND's place. The profile name is omnisaudis or omnis_audis or omnis audis (can't remember if I put a flavor of space or not).

omnis,

If you click on Pete's name in his post, it will take you to his Buffista profile. In it, he has an e-mail address listed. I can't help you with your gamertag (but I think he's asking you for what name you play under or want to play under).

I think all the Buffista sprog share the beams. It's like the Toddler Cabal.

There must be some truth to this, as not only does Mal show a preference for my Smashbox and Urban Decay cosmetics, yesterday he demanded to wear my silver wire tiara all day.

One of my coworkers just bought a $3000 cellphone. [link] OK, $2500. And he claims he got it for $1500. I get crabby if I have to pay for a cellphone. Clearly I am losing my techgeek cred.

Of course, he also has a subscription to Vanity Fair, so he is a bit more of a fashionista than I.

ETA: I'm running away for the rest of the day, as the internet terminal is next to the TV, and yet another coworker has Bill O'Reilly playing quite loudly, and it's making me want to kill somebody.

That phone looks awful. I'd rather have D&G's gold razr than that crappy looking thing.

Not sure how these dolls would help with potty training.

Hershey's Kisses were good potty training incentives for us. At first we gave them one, each time they tried. Once they started having successes, they got them only for the successes, not the tries.
