"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh yes, I'm almost headbanning with nothing but agreement, and it's noon-ish here.

Except for headbanning takes too much energy, so it's mostly nodding.

I'm watching my early AM disappear in a puff of smoke -- where does it GO?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Shir. Maybe I woke up a 4:30 my time in sympathy with you? I must have had a bad dream, but I don't remember what it was. So then I started worrying about work, so then I got up and found a pen and made a list, and sort of went back to sleep, enough to have more wierd dreams. Ugh.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, Jesse, I hate having weird dreams-waking up-having yet more weird dreams. One should feel safe and warm and loved in his/her bed. Although right now, mere sleeping will (would?) suffice.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

{{{Shir}}} I'm sorry about the Gaza news -- for everyone in the middle of it, but especially for your sister and your whole family.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Oh, thank you, amych, but I'm fine. Mostly tired and a little bit upset and worried of course, but that's part of life and me being extremely aware of the situation there until November 2009, when she'll finish her army service.

I guess my sister is fine too - I haven't heard from her yet, but it's hard to keep in touch with her sometimes. I'm just hoping she'll come home for the Seder, her commanders are giving her hard time. As if they don't have other stuff to worry about...

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

I got to sleep almost all night last night! (Dylan woke up at 2, but DH got him back to sleep, and then he didn't wake up again until 5:30! Whee! But we're still Ferberizing as soon as we get back from DC.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Or Most Awesomest Comic Book Characters (A Definitive List)?

Let's see this list.

An excerpt:

1) Miracleman (natch)
2) Captain Marvel
3) Batman
4) Superman
5) Grendel (any incarnation, really)
6) Flash (preferably Barry Allen, but Wally West will do. And Jay Garrick is kind of the bomb, yo.)
7) Wolverine (okay, as a teen I was all about the "Grr, I kill you" *snikt snikt* thing, I admit it.)
8) Swamp Thing (after Alan Moore took him over and made him interesting)
9) V (speaking of Alan Moore)
10) Ambush Bug ('cause he's funny)
