The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay on the school going, Theodosia!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Jesse covers my "Yay!"s but to reiterate...
Sophia, the raise is long overdue.
Theo, wonderful news! I know you'll enjoy this year.
paperdol, don't you watch What Not To Wear? Slap on one of those fitted blouse thingies with the over the waist parts, create the hourglass illusion and you're home free. Also, let Robin take you shopping. And have drinks before and afterwards.
sarameg, congratulations!
I agree that Vick is a low-life piece of shit for murdering dogs and the whole cruel, vicious mess. But my hope is that the is remorse is genuine--that he's actually sorry for what he's done. NOT just sorry for getting caught.
Here's how I feel about Michael Vick: he's a bad human being and I don't give a fuck about his "redemption" or remorse. He's a sociopath, and that's not something you recover from. Unfortunately, the worst thing that can happen to him is that he is forced out of football and forced to live as a millionaire with a circle of validating sycophants and golf buddies for the rest of his life. (see: O.J. Simpson)

I heard some of Vick's speech - he didn't sound horrified at what he did. and I am confused, don't people figure out that torturing animals is wrong fairly young? He did much more than strangle some of these dogs to kill them. I just don't think this is one of those places where you can say I'm sorry , and be believed.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So, I'm thinking of changing jobs when I get back from Budapest. What do I want to do?

What do I want to do?
Something that involves a lot of work-paid travel to San Francisco.
