Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I love the Dancing Matt videos.

GC, if the eye looks really bad, I'd take her in. I'm an alarmist that way. Lots of kittens lose eyes to infection when they're small. And resp. infection can get serious quickly. Kittens are delicater than their adult counterparts.

(((sj))), hugs for you, sucessful surgery wishes to your nephew. Try to breathe, and trust the doctors. I know you can't really stop worrying, but put that energy to something useful. Make something to send him, or his mom and/or older brother. And don't let yourself get caught in the spiral of worry--do something else when you realize you're futzing over things you can't affect. (((you))) again, just because.

I grew up getting loads of honeybee, yellowjacket and wasp stings every summer. We've always had a problem with wasps getting in the house--I can identify the sound of a wasp bumping along the ceiling in a howling hurricane. The scene in The Shining when the wasps pour out of the "dead" nest in the middle of the night? My worst nightmare.

I was never allergic, until in my 30s I had a wasp sting blow up my arm from shoulder to elbow. My GP said the next one might not affect me that strongly...or I might go into anaphalaxis. No way to tell. So yes, I'd talk to your doctor. You might try a paste of a couple of crushed aspirin, baking soda, and water applied to the site of the sting, though as long as it's been since, I doubt it would help much. It's supposed to draw the toxin to the surface, but it sounds as if it's diffused by now. Still, your doctor can prescribe something to relieve the swelling and any other symptoms. My utmost sympathies--it's miserable, I know.

ETA: Ginger! No falling out of bed, even for Clooney. Make him fall for you if one of you has to! Mend quickly. And consider a few casual cushions scattered on the floor about the bed.

David! It's still today, even here. So I'm in time to wish you Felicitations on Your Actual Natal Day!

I'm glad your team are the champions of champions--you put so much heart, time, and passion into that endeavor it seems only fair. May you be a champion in other areas, as well, in all the ones that count. Fabulous food, splendid drink, esoteric music and lit'rature, articulate, erudite companions, and the dearest love of those dearest to you wished for the coming year. (With sparklers!)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, thank you, Bev. What a lovely birthday wish.

It was a very gratifying season with this team. We had a lot of talent, but it was how every player contributed to the team that sticks out. It was a very gritty, gutty team. Very resiliant. Came back from behind to win many times, often with players having to do more than we'd usually ask of them because somebody was missing. And again and again, they rose to the moment.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Saturday Night Live, rather than showing a regular rerun, is showing the episode from 1975 hosted by George Carlin!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Thank you HIL!!!!!!

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

I just set my tv to watch too. Thanks, Hil.

Ah, those were the days. Now of course I feel old remembering watching the episode in 1975, living in Virginia, already married several years.
