Happy Birthday PC!
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Happy birthday PC!
Also, I'm mentioning this already because it's shabbat soon in my timezone, and the 13th (also known as "tomorrow", still) is billytea's birthday, but in his timezone it's very soon going to be this tomorrow, when I'll be deep into shabbat and not in front of a computer. So early timely timezoned wishes for him, as well!
In fact, it's my birthday now! Allow me to sing the praises of Wallybee, who has gifted me with a scrapbook of our relationship. Includes the first email I ever sent her, photos from important dates in our life, three echidnas, and an entire page dedicated to penguins. I'm very touched.
I'm also getting Twilight Struggle, a board game devoted to the Cold War, but I think I like the scrapbook better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw! Happy birthday, y'all!

Happy Birthday, billytea and forgive me for my mind immediately going to sparkly emo vampires fighting to get out of a bad book.
Ooops... was that my outloud voice again?

Hmmm, I believe I read a casting spoiler about 90210 that might answer that question.

DANA -- have you seen this?

Come to think of it, we didn't hear from Dana once she left for the library yesterday. Maybe she's still there?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
No, no, I did eventually make it home. Husband disposed of the mouse in several plastic bags, and I sincerely hope it suffocated quickly.
May I never see another one in the house again.

Happy birthday, P-C!
Happy birthday, billytea!
I'm coming from a family that reads 15 minutes of the Haggadah just because I make them do so, or else it would be 3 minutes. After an hour and a half my dad and the "dad" of their side looked at each other and mumbled "umm, mind if we skip this part...?".
We usually go to my aunt and uncle's for the seder, and they're very Orthodox (members of the Bostoner Rebbe's shul) and read every single word, so that's the sort of seder that feels "right" to me. There was one year that we couldn't get up to Boston, so we had the seder at our house with some local cousins. My mom and I spent a while beforehand editing the Haggadah to exactly what we would say. We ended up mostly taking out the parts that my dad refers to as "rabbis doing multiplication" -- the stuff about exactly how many plagues there were, if you count the "strong hand and outstretched arm" stuff as multiple plagues.
