Trillian-cut garnet. I think I may go ahead and risk it, because my lovely friend H lusts for red stones in silver settings, so if it doesn't fit me, it will probably look great on her long, slender fingers. And she's worth the $6 risk. (I'm already past the info page and it's timed out by now, so if I go back I'm sure I'll lose it).
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So here are the ten largest urban areas in the European Union (Moscow would be #1 if if were included)
1 Paris, France 10,136,000
2 London, United Kingdom 8,505,000
3 Madrid, Spain 5,561,748
4 Ruhr area, Germany 5,317,565
5 Barcelona, Spain 5,082,126
6 Milan, Italy 4,282,000
7 Berlin, Germany 3,675,000
8 Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area, Poland 3,487,000
9 Rotterdam-The Hague, Netherlands 3,345,000
10 Athens, Greece 3,247,000
I had never heard of the Ruhr area before. Apparently it's like 12 German industrial cities that slowly grew together. I don't know much about the Upper Silesian area either.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Trillian-cut garnet.
That one was a size 5.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Upper Silesian Metropolitan Area, Poland
The Lower Silesian Metropolitan Area is so much cooler....

I'm pretty sure even my pinky's about a 7. Ah, well. Guess H is in for some extra sparkle for her b-day next month.

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.
So they want me to come interview for the job tomorrow at 4.
After hearing a little more, I'm leaning even more towards this is a test interview sort of deal. They have 10 different sites throughout the city I would be supporting. Bleh. Having a long commute is bad enough. Requiring me to travel around once in the city pretty much pushes this into the too much hassle for what it's worth pile.
Of course, I could be wrong and they'll wow me. We'll see.
Even more fun, to make a 4pm appointment via the train means either leaving from the local station at 1pm or driving to the next station down the line (about 20 minutes drive) and getting on a 2pm train. But after driving home in rush hour yesterday, I'm not keen on repeating it or putting myself at the whims of the parking gods again, since I pretty much lucked out yesterday.

Kalshane, you're taking Metra, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I had some microwave popcorn for a snack this afternoon(probably too much, but oh, well), then I come here to see the popcorn discussion. Hmm...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
There is an oval-cut garnet ring in a size 8 coming up.
Also, not for nothing - they have an affiliate program. Should we see about adding b.org to their program?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
There's a garnet up now, ita.
I'm holding out for the lapis.
