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

So I should assume this guy is some sort of immortal and mis-remembering things from his ancient days?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I did not know that about ING. Although I did know that the previously mentioned rogue trade was made into a movie starring Ewan McGregor and Alexis Denisof.

I own that movie! Go ahead, be shocked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Shoot him in the heart and see what happens.

No, you have to cut off his head. It's the only way to be sure.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I boggle that for my accounting cycle, February is a 5 week month. I mean, WTF.

I give you points for escalating the geekery (for extra points, who can link Christopher Lambert to Sigourney Reese in the fewest steps?) but that will only show you something if there's an immortal in range to be quickened. Shooting him in the heart will kill him if he's not immortal, but only stop him for a while if he's not, no matter who's around.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Go ahead, be shocked.

*is shocked*

No wait - what's the opposite of shocked?

I have sandwich fixings in the office fridge and absolutely no desire to make a sandwich out of them and eat it. Stoopid frugality.

Punishingly Intricate

I know! And I had a minute of joy when I thought it was a month when I would get paid 3 times (it's an every two week cycle) but I'd misremembered when I'd gotten paid last. feh.

I hate being paid every two weeks. My brain refuses to make the adjustment from the last job, and I'm being passive aggressive about it and using that as my "excuse" for not having a clear budget. I should just suck it up and declare myself amnesty (like sara and her teeth) and start fresh for 2008.
