New Orleans Hillel actually does have a very Mardi Gras-themed Purim. (What? It's about the same time of year, and the big parts of Purim are get drunk, dress in costumes, and make noise. It was lots of fun. Also, since the Hillel house counted as a private residence, drinking age there was 18 rather than 21, and there was an open bar.)
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I think we can come up with a better one of these than this [link]

Related to #2. They were going to keep it a secret until Friday! We have clients all scheduled for those days and shit!
My boss does this when it comes to "minor" federal holidays that he decides to give off like Columbus Day or President's Day. He waits until Friday afternoon before the holiday and then is all like - hey why don't you take off this Monday. I've tried to explain how this would be much more meaningful a gesture with a little bit of notice, but he has no family so he doesn't get it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
oh lordy. just by typing that, you sprung fifteen new websites out of the ether.
Sadly, not new - I was summarizing an old Pat Robertson rant.

What's a good gift for like a single, 25-year old New Yorker of any gender?

It's my fallback gift, anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yay little DJ sis!
OMG BORED!!!!!
Me too.
I also just tripped over carpet and now I'm pretty sure both knees are going to have spectacular bruises and skinned spots tomorrow.
At least only one of them is bleeding though, so that's something.

She says it was all very romantic. They were arguing about how much engagement rings cost (because of a completely different thing), so Future Mr. Little Sister bought one.

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

Heh. Workplace and buffistas, never the twain shall meet!

Now that you mention it, probably a good idea. I'll note that I'm not giving copies to my mother or my clients.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've tried to explain how this would be much more meaningful a gesture with a little bit of notice, but he has no family so he doesn't get it.
Or, apparently, any desire to go out of town ever? I hate that shit.
