We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I'm here!

I'm also contemplating how to introduce and describe the human digestive system while steering clear of the end stages. Because my kids are pretty good, but they're still (primarily) teenage boys.

Also, I'm starting to think I was much wittier when I was a computer science student.

Emily, just let them giggle away about the poop.

I'm here. I'm cold and sniffly and pathetic. And at work.

I suppose that's the way to go, yes. I'd kind of rather not do the digestive system, but this is the next project, so there you are. Sigh.

The very, very, very end of Knight Rider made me chuckle.

The part where nanites have the power to alter the laws of physics also made me chuckle, but in a different way.

Mostly it was a sad waste of Sydney Poitier. And yeah, the commercials were creepy.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Emily, I'd threaten anyone who giggled with a classroom reading of "Everybody Poops."

Yeah, but at least that was cool.

I was watching Pride and Predjudice last night and I was convinced it was in two parts and I was so confused on how they were going to squeeze everything that last hour. Then it ended with them at Pemberley, and I was like, "Man, i have to wait another week!" And it dawned on me that I owned the freakin' DVD and I could watch it at any time.

Also, I started thinking about how Colin Firth and I lived in Vancouver at the same time, and started wondering if our paths ever crossed. We could have been at plays together! He was living with Meg Tilly at the time and he couldn't even get an audition in Vancouver. Which is crazy, and totally typical of the theatre scene there. Very insular and provincial.

Hmm. I'll probably just give 'em the eyebrow.

It doesn't work, but it makes me feel better.
