Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Kind of like how the FBI were heroes in Mississippi Burning instead of the black people who organized the freedom rides and protests.
I never saw that, and I'm glad I didn't.
Quantum Leap had me thinking "Great, Al. Ten minutes after you leap out of his body he has to watch his granddaughter be gang-raped while their house burns down to the ground behind them."
Okay, I need to not think about that anymore. Play my next Scrabulous move and go to bed.

Yup, skipping again (do I need to mention that I work during the holiday? Um, because I do. I'll probably take half of today off, but still. Oh, well).
Anyway, this post is not a meMeME, but rather a mention that according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Betsy HP's birthday. I haven't seen posts from her very lovely font in quite a while (which could mean nothing, seeing as I am so sadly hardly ever keeping up with current posts anywhere anymore), but regardless of that, I hope the well-wishes find their way to her.

Happy birthday!
Nilly, will you still make it to Zilpa's lecture?

I'm so hungry today. Maybe my stomach got used to matzot in no time this year, but usually this stuff just blocks my will to eat after 5 minutes.
Tea, however, helps. Weird.

Shir, I hope I will make it to her lecture (that's the half-day-off I was posting about in those whiny sentences in my post above). You're in Jerusalem, though, right?

Yes, I won't make it. Not being in the convention isn't such a big deal like I thought it might be, though I'm still curious how they'll handle tonight's meeting.
Anyway, if you'll make it, will you say hi to all for me?

Of course.
(It's funny to talk to you, alone - everybody else is timezoned to do other things - in English, here. Takes getting used to, I guess.)

Thanks, Nilly. I really miss some of those people.
(I know, it's strange).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm having such trouble getting This American Life to download in iTunes -- it craps out after two or three minutes leaving me with a stub of 2 or 3 minutes. Feh.
