Also, anyone with Time Warner cable anywhere can apparently watch our New York 1 people doing Pope coverage. But our beloved Pat Kiernan is on an alternate channel doing the regular news, so you're out of luck there, I guess.

The Pope has been ruining Today's Papers all week! I don't care who I'm marrying, I am never joining this church!

Jesse, is today your boss' last day, or have I missed that?

Ha!

I'm so mad! When I woke up all over the radio it was "OMGWTF Earthquake!" and people apparently felt it as far away as Ohio and I didn't feel one little shake.

When I got up, the first question The Boy asked me was, "Were you awake at 4:30?"

Me: "Uh, NO."

Him: "There was an earthquake."

[pause]

Me: "Did you think I *caused* it?"

Him: "What?"

Me: "Well, you asked if I was awake then, like I was up and trying to open the Hellmouth or something."

[pause]

Him: "Well, are you?"

I told him that if any demons show up at his work (they recycle scrap metal; his work, that is, not the demons, although maybe the demons do) and ask for a talisman, to NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.

(We watched "Doomed" earlier this week, so we're sensitive to Hellmouth-open-y things.)

Happy Birthday, beth!

In honor of spa week, I got a facial on Wednesday. It's been nearly ten years since my last one. This one turned out a lot better--my skin is all bright and shiny.

Shir, glad your sister made it home for Passover.

No earthquake here.

Happy birthday, beth!

Did not feel earthquake at all. Suspect I will have to call my mother and reassure her that I'm not dead, though.

Happy Birthday, beth!

Jesse, is today your boss' last day, or have I missed that?

It is today! Yay!

Also, the Pope apparently just went by our office, but just in a regular limo, not the Popemobile.

Happy Birthday beth!

just in a regular limo, not the Popemobile.

god, it's like he doesn't understand what it means to be the Pope at all!

I wish I was getting a facial today my skin feels icky. But i'll be getting one from my aesthetician friend when I'm out in SF in May so I wanted to try some other spa service.

ION, one of the rollerderby girls here started a blog to celebrate the bigger ladies of derby. It's all about body image and issues around what it means to be athletic without having a stereotypically "athletic" body shape or size. As a curvy lady who has gotten more and more sporty over the last few years I can really relate.

So every Friday she has been featuring a fine derby ass with pictures and a little story about the skater. This Friday she is featuring non-derby (or civilian) booty! I sent her two examples of the fine, fine booty on my bike team (me and our volunteer coordinator who is a yoga instructor)! See!!
