Happy birthday Nora!
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I had to prop it in place with a wooden spoon.
That happened to my bedroom window in Oak Park. I kept it propped open with some small boards until I finally called the maintenance guy, who just had to replace the ropes (it was a very old window!) in the window to keep it up.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
Oh yeah, I'm sure there was a ton of politics I was missing, but I loved it anyway. I even read most of the random digressions (100 pages on the sewers, whee!)
Yeah, I love the encyclopediac writers. Thomas Mann, when one of his characters stops at a hotel, spends the rest of the chapter explaining the fundamentals of hotel keeping (as Thomas Mann understands them). But even though I love the digressions, I totally get that some people are tearing out their hair and screaming "get on with the farkin plot already!".

Our wings are not tired.
And don't forget Hawthorne's pages and pages of prison descriptions.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Famous skulls stolen from their graves: Mozart, Haydn, Descartes...
I thought Mozart was buried in a pauper's grave. How'd they find his body?
Liv and Owen had a fight with some soap this morning and Olivia lost. There was some crying and yelling (on everyone's parts). Liv's eyes are still puffy and red from the soap that got in them. I've flushed them out several times but her eyes still resemble Jim Breuer's.
If I have another morning like this, I'm going to start drinking as soon as I get out of bed.

It it wasn't for the fact that Child Services tends to frown upon such practices, I'd suggest feeding them the alcohol. Rumor has it that it quiets 'em down right quick.

Oh, boo, Cash. If it helps at all, I am about to go to the post office to mail your comic. Finally. Last week kinda sorta got away from me.

Liv's eyes are still puffy and red from the soap that got in them.
Poor Liv.
