Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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

Liese, I'm watching Dirty Sexy Money RIGHT NOW AIFG. Seriously.

But I want to know what kind of heartless diety permits a world where, on wednesday nights at ten, I have to decide between Peter Krause and Damien Lewis.

Always Anti-fascist!

Well, one season I had to choose between Andre Braugher and Hugh Laurie. So, I'm guessing that kind.

OK, awesomest quote on a TV show EVAH.

Come on, this is what church is FOR... Draging the ruined past through the messy present into the perfect future and ruining it. Together.

Welcome, L.R.! And what everyone else said about "aww, Holli's all grown up now!" with a side of "Dear god, that must mean I'm OLD now!"

I am desperately fighting off a cold. If it will just stay away until, say, Monday night? And then be gone again by Friday? That would be accetable. (Better if it retreat in defeat, but...). But I have PLANS on Saturday (not to mention a five hour plane ride) that would be rather derailed by hacking up a lung. Damn you, body!

I spent the evening at the home of a leather daddy and his butch wife, doing DIY leatherwork. We ended up making me red leather pasties for when I am Ms. Santa for their group. What on earth has my life become, I ask you?

Oy. I was once again, out of my house before the sun rose. The third time this week. This morning for blood tests before work. I can't wait until I've been at this job long enough to start slacking and making my Doctor's appts in the middle of the work day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sue, that's nuts.

Also nuts is my coworker who left midday yesterday puking, and sent me a message this morning saying she was up sick all night but might try to come in. Because she HAS been at this job long enough to take a freaking sick day!

Sue, that's nuts.

Well, you know, the sun's not rising until 7:30, but that's usually when I wake up. The worst thing is that I am also waking up early on the mornings when I don't have to. But am I going to sleep any earlier? No.

I am meeting my friend who is visiting from PEI after work and we are then going to see Feist. I don't know how I am going to make it through the end of the show without a nap in there somewhere.

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

Today I took a 206 bus, which was full of kids on their way to Evanston High School. One kid got sat behind me and called his dad on hid cell. The kid wanted to go out to celebrate the one year anniversary with his girlfriend, so he was asking his dad if he could do some cleaning around the house for some money. What followed was a long negotiation over what he would clean and how much he'd get payed.

At one point the kid says, "You want me to clean the kitchen and the basement for only $30? Come on, dad - the basement is full of spider webs, and I'm arachnophobic!" Then he argued that if his dad hired a maid, it would cost so much, and so on.

The kid was a good negotiator.
