Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, shit, ita. I'm sorry. I hope the extra day helps (and also, should it come to that, that the next round of ER staff actually do their fucking jobs for once instead of leaving you and your doctor's clearly written instructions to twist in the wind -- but mostly I hope the extra day helps enough that you don't need the ER at all).

Nothing-big vibes to Teddy, stressy-back and resting vibes to Fred Pete and Hubs, heartburn and travel vibes to Allyson, and lunchtime vibes to Tom. Is that everyone?

Kathy, it's safe to say that many many Buffistas are now completely eaten up with envious awe. Go team you!

Punishingly Intricate

Congratulations, Kathy!!!

I had to complain to my co-worker upstairs because her music (played over her laptop) was driving me crazy. I hate to feel like a complainer but how could she not know that it is crazy-making??? Nobody wants to hear your music! Especially not all tinny on your little laptop speakers through a wooden floor!

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

No, this is not a harp. Yes, it is a radiator. Really.

Awesome! Also, beautiful.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

awesome Kathy.

congestion of death = my head

I have over 2000 unfiled emails in my inbox. poor noodle who is getting this dumped on her. I am trying to clean up, but only so much I can do. I have been cc'd on almost every client/app development/issue email for 1.5 years.

I was surprised to see Boston come in at 10. I've lived in both cities and Boston/Cambridge is definitely more readerly.

The fact that Minneapolis and St. Paul are #1 and #3 leads me to believe they must be referring to Boston proper and not the metro area.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's excellent, Kathy! I'll be able to close out a card when I get around to writing checks this weekend, which is exciting, even if I just put part of it on another card (low interest balance transfer!).

I am reading this list of 2007 buzzwords, and i'm not sure if that many of them have made it into the common vernacular.

And i have to say that there's already a phrase for this:

kinnear v.

To take a candid photograph surreptitiously, especially by holding the camera low and out of the line of sight. Coined in August by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee of the Yarn Harlot blog when she attempted to take a photograph during an encounter with the actor Greg Kinnear at an airport.

I've always heard it called "shooting from the hip."

I don't even want to talk about my credit card balance. Waaay more than I am comfortable with.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Grad School killed my credit card. Well, in 2008 husband and I will pay off cards, again.

I've applied for a scholarship that would pay off about half what I owe. I'll find out in March if I got it. Worst part is I'm up against a really close friend. They've been giving it to 2nd time applicants, though, and this will be my second application. My friend can apply again for 2009.

Yeah, I haven't heard of a lot of those. Which makes its value somewhat diminished as something to point at when coworkers have never heard of "lolcat." Oh, Grant.

This is why I'm focusing on the good news of closing out the smallest card, not the larger picture.....
