That sounds like a wonderful weekend, sara. Congrats to Dr. Bro.
Had a good but crazy hectic weekend. Had dinner with Polgara and bon bon and bon bon's fiance.
You're like my fairy godmother, and Santa Claus, and Q all wrapped up into one! Q from Bond, not Star Trek.

That sounds lovely (the dinner.)
Turns out, I think my brother and I were the calmest of the crew. PJ hasn't been able to eat well for the past week. My mom's stomach was all knotted up. My dad was uncharacteristically circumspect in not arguing with anything and everything under the sun.
I *knew* Josh'd do fine. He knew he knew his stuff, he doesn't get nerves. He channels all his fear into excitement (c'mon, he races cars) and totally knows he does that.
Now? He's worried about getting a postdoc.

I can see worry about getting the postdoc too. The defense is a Big Deal. But then the post doc is the rest of life.
I just watched In Bruges. Not all of it, but enough to know I still love Colin Ferrell and I am reminded of how much I loved Bruges when I visited.
I'm trying to articulate why the politics from the pulpit thing irks me so much.

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

Um, he's a PhD who races cars? ::hearteyes::

Also, I will be happy to never watch a Presidential debate with my dad ever again. As it was, I was merely hearing it from the bedroom as I drew, colored and named weird monsters and that was more than enough.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Congrats to the bro, sarameg, it sounds like a great weekend.

He's happily married, sorry. Not stock cars. He's souped up his 1990 Nissan 300SX that he takes to the tracks when they have amateur driving sessions (that the participants pay for.) They pair him with a trainer and run 'em through the course.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Did you know Ben & Jerry's has a Crème Brûlée flavor?
It is very nummy.
