I'm actually pretty upset about Burritoville.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

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

Damn woman, how fast does one have to find physics news to satisfy you?
It just had to be before the student decided to leave class to ask his physics teacher. Sorry!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Cool unexpected thing of the day: About 20 minutes after I got here this morning, several of the secretaries walked in with 2 breakfast cakes and a box full of Mexican pastries as a belated birthday thing.
Nom nom nom.

From the New York Times article on Goths today:
I just wore black, but Danielle Willis was a Satanic blood fetishist who had her own 19th-century phlebotomy kit, permanent fangs dentally bonded to her eyeteeth and serious drug problems. I once teased her about her decorative penchant for red velvet chaises, heavy curtains, ball-and-claw side tables, stigmata and other forms of morbid opulence, saying that they didn’t necessarily mean she was goth, just Italian. She clocked me pretty hard.

Nice, Perkins. You also share a birthday with British news-hottie Richard Wolffe, I found out on "Countdown" yesterday. The Bush admin is lucky I don't know anything about them, because Mr. Wolffe would only have to give me a little Hugh Grant-grade fluster about his publication "Shedule" and he'd have me. Or maybe he'd ask me about Senator "Obamar"(Don't ask me why that kills me, but it does.) Maybe *America* is unlucky that I'm not the dingy receptionist at the DOD.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Heh. erika, a quick Googling shows that you share a birthday with Ken Kesey, Little Milton, Orlando Cepeda, Anne Bancroft, Roddy McDowell, Hank Williams, Mary Stewart and Samuel Johnson. That's a pretty sweet assembly of spicy brains and wit and general all-around good personhood. Happy birthday to all of you; you're in good birthday company, and so are they.
