I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Now tagless for your comfort.

When we were just in Paris, a nice French guy took pity on us at the Gare du Nord, or we wouid have walked the wrong way to our train.

Where was this dude when we were there? Oh, the large, physically violent bag lady that attacked us must have EATEN him.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hi! I'm back from Paris, and I'm, um, older.

Any wiser?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Or deeper in debt?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

See what happens when we try and be friendly and cheerful and shit?
It confused and disturbed me. Don't do it again.

Hi! I'm back from Paris, and I'm, um, older.
Fun!

I'll be sure to tell New York for you.

Any wiser?

No.

Or deeper in debt?

Yes. Also, not feeling rejuvenated and ready to take up the gauntlet again, just dread-filled (dreadful, literally?) and wishing for another week off. Don't get me wrong, I had an amazing time! But I have about one day to get into school and unpack my new classroom and three days to grade papers and plan lessons before school starts again, and someplace in there I'd like to celebrate my birthday and New Year's! Oh, and hope my bag shows up from the airline sometime before I have to start teaching again.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Happy Birthday, quester.

I've had fun the last few New Years. I can't think of a single one that stands out as being the most fun ever. I've had a few good NYE and quite a few crappy ones.

Though the one year the host decided to blast the Overture from "2001: A Space Odyssey" at 10am the next morning to get everyone out of his house so he could go to work was pretty memorable.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy birthday, Emily! Good luck with the getting back in the swing of things.

did someone buy the birthday drink for you? what is ridiculously overpriced?

Yes, someone bought it for me. Mine was quite large, and included fancy champers, but was $15, I shit you not. Luckily, we gorged ourselves on bar mix, mitigating the cost somewhat.

Oooh! Cipriani owns it, don't they? MFNlaw and I once got nailed for $15 bellinis at Cipriani.

And Hec and I once got kicked out of the Campbell Apt. because he was wearing sneakers. I tried to explain that he was a hipster and they were special sneakers but no go.
