This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Of course, I still have no idea what "going to get ashes" actually means.

You go to church, they put the ashes on your forehead.

hip deep in pie

I just saw that Jesse. It made me go "Whaaa?"

ETA: Is the board been slow for anyone else lately?

Around here, today is Finding Out Who Of Your Coworkers Is An Observant Catholic Day.

In other holiday-related news, I noticed that a local Dunkin Donuts was advertising "Paczki Donuts" with a sign explaining what they were. I guess in case they had people wondering why their jelly donuts seemed weird.

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

find out your squid quotient

Your Squid Quotient = 126.5

Interpreting your results: An average Squid Quotient is around 100. A SQ of 100 means you have a normal affinity for squid. A SQ above 100 means you have an attraction or fondness for squid. Below 100 means that you should probably stay away from the deep ocean.

The test is pretty funny....

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Hmm, things I'm not going to say today but want to:

Pick a goddamn deadline and stick to it! Do not try to stick every last bit of code into this release, and if your crap doesn't make the deadline, tough fucking shit!

Seriously, we had a deadline of the 19th originally (thought not originally originally - that was the 12th or possibly the 5th), then we were told it would be the 26th, and THEN on the 19th we were told it might be the 21st but we wouldn't know until that morning. NOW the fucktards in charge say we don't have a deadline, but we MIGHT have one by next WEDNESDAY!!??!??! Get your shit together, ASSHATS!

Whew. That did feel good.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This New York Times story on magazine crews is astonishing: [link]

I had no idea there were these itinerant gangs of violent, drug-abusing magazine sellers. I once was pressured into buying a subscription from one like a dozen years ago and it was creepy, but still I had no clue of how terrible it is.

ETA: the reporting on the article is also total Pulitzer bait.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hmm. That could be cool. She's a lot less annoying than Meredith. Maybe they'll let Callie go with her-- I like their interactions.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

You go to church, they put the ashes on your forehead.

Hm. That's what I thought it meant.

Religion is so weird when you don't have context.
