2-3: OMGWTFMeeting!
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

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
shrift: I could write a gritty memoir, but I don't think the royalty check would be worth the awkward conversations I'd have to have with my mother.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

The bonus of this craxy day was that when one of the guys in the day care at the gym asked Owen if he was his BFF, Owen replied with, "MOMMY'S MY BFF!"
Topic!Cindy:
A few years ago, a door-to-door type person (a political campaigner? a salesman? a Sierra Club recruiter?) came to the door. Chris answered it with me, and started talking to the guy first, so I just stood there and let him, because it was all painfully cute. When Chris ran out of things to say, he asked the guy, "John, have you met my good friend Mommy?"

Sophia Brooks: One of my cow-workers just skipped down the hall in happiness because her size 2 pants were too big for her and she is all excited about having to get a size zero. Why does it matter? Except that it annoyed the piss out of me

amych: I'm vaguely freaked by the Kosher for Passover Turduckens, but even more so by the fact that they're organic and free range. It's like wanting the maximum of purity in the most insanely unnatural form imaginable.

Sue in Natter:
I once dreamt that I was trying to invent a potato that could transcend space and time. Apparently, my subconscious has a thing about root crops.

You say "Secretly a Cylon" as if this were a bad thing. I mean, have you seen them?
