Jilli, that's great! I'm so glad she wrote back to you.
paperdol, I'm sorry that the day has been craptastic.
I am eating risotto for lunch and hoping that enough coffee will counteract the carb stupor.
Angel: How're you feeling? Faith: Like I did mushrooms and got eaten by a bear.

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.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm sorry for all having a stab-worthy day. I am suffering from sniffles and an increasingly bad sore throat, which is bad, but am using it as an excuse to leave early and thus will be able to help paint our new kitchen, so that is good. Although I have to come in on Sunday to finish all my work, which is bad, but I do have a job with some flexibility and that is good.

I think ita and Nutty are secretly guest-writing Dinosaur Comics today.
You could do a wonderful liberal arts freshman seminar just by taking each day's Dinosaur Comics as a starting point and then tracking the ideas out in different directions. Neither the instructor nor the students would know what they would be studying next, so it would always be fresh.

Wonderfull to hear that you had that kind of direct impact on someone who needed help, Jilli.
I toured the mid-rennovation condos in the building I really like today and found out that they're going to be even more expensive than I thought (though the condo association fee is more reasonable than expected). At this point I'm pretty certain that buying is a pipe dream, at least until several years down the line if one of the as-yet hypothetical new owners wants to sell.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I want to take Rick's class!

Man, we need a Buffista University thread. You could just go in and learn from other Buffistas' spicy brains.

But the people who are mostly likely to suck are also most likely to be the loudest, so they're the ones you hear.
Ah, like the religious. And, for that matter, the atheists.
Okay, but don't nuke us, all right? Maybe it could be a bullshit-seeking missile.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's too bad, Matt.

Really wasn't planning on nuking b.org.
So long as y'all don't get on my bad side.
