This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

There is now color in the sky. It is no longer black.

Alas, the night is over, and the work I was supposed to finish during it, not so much. Sigh.

What light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and, um, the sun is the sun. Or something.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign was undone by a clash of personalities more toxic than anyone imagined. E-mails and memos—published here for the first time—reveal the backstabbing and conflicting strategies that produced an epic meltdown.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh, poor Nilly. I hope it eases up soon.

These high bar routines are insane.

Jonathan Horton is amazing. i'm so glad to see him do that routine perfectly after watching him fall numerous times.

Thanks, Perkins.

The deadline is on Thursday, so no matter what, handed in or not, I'll get to return to a normal sleep schedule after that. Right now, that seems almost as tempting as the actual, y'know, meeting of the deadline.

[Edit: I'm loving how I get all the Olympics Natter, without getting to watch anything at all - in one way, I have no idea what's going on, but in another, I know all the important stuff. Neat.]

Phelps looks like a Cardassian, and not in a good, slash-him-with-Bashir way. (Although, really, with Gul Dukat, it was all about the personality, not the looks.)

Perhaps I just need to see pictures of him where he's not doing that freaky neck thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I grew to love Dukat's looks too, I must admit. I think he's hotter than Phelps.

I'm having a style crisis in which I want to compensate for the fact that I'm behind in laundry and dry cleaning by doing more shopping. I already have all the clothes in the world! I have to stop myself. I can at least make it to the end of the month without buying anything new, and then who cares? It's not like I'll be working.

Thanks for the remote suggestions. When I search the web everything that comes up first is luxury, and I don't really care.
