“Not dead yet!”

All the talk of label makers reminded me I needed to back up the MS.

I remember a wedding that Lewis was best man at, for his best friend from med school-- both bride and groom were Russian Jews and the families were very practical. They couldn't see the point of buying big ass floral arrangements for the tables, so the centerpieces were big ass bottles of Absolut set on round mirrors with votive candles artfully arranged around each bottle.

That was one of the most raucous weddings we've ever been to, plus bonus! extra vodka left over, so we got to take a few bottles home that made up our vodka stash for several years.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That was one of the most raucous weddings we've ever been to

I imagine so!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

hate allergies.

Jesse, whyfor Ikea?

I am trying to figure out what I'll be doing tomorrow besides getting mac to Karate. I am thinking maybe just chillin at home. Then church and the Brooklyn TJs on Sunday.

What is everyone else doing this weekend?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. I think I would be a monster with a label maker. I think it likely I would go nuts and years later you'd be finding things like labels labeled "First Label" and "Things to Label, Urgent."

Ugh! I hate stupid work tasks that I hate!

Me too! Except I swore I'd keep up to date on stupid work tasks that I hate, so I have to do them. Like, now.

A friend's bbq. Buying a third covered litterbox. More litter.

Ye gods, I'm so thankful the deadline is no longer in 2 weeks. We'd be so screwed if it was still there, not Feb.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

The current wedding stress is that fewer people are coming than we expected-- like a lot fewer

I'll come! Cause that's just the kind of generous person I am.

Hey, I've got some good Palin news! My coworker just informed me that Palin convinced her NOT to vote Republican. Yaaaay Palin!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Weekend: Teaching, teaching, church, & building my tray birdfeeder! Probably some random yardwork, too, if the weather holds.

“Not dead yet!”

If this afternoon is any indication, I will be getting a cold.

Also, tomorrow, Florida State at Miami. Go Noles!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Do you happen to need a coffee table, Jesse?

This weekend:

Saturday is our company's disaster recovery test, and I have to be at our disaster site in Queens at 6:00am!!!

Sunday is one of the largest street festivals in the country.

Some time in between, I kind of want to go see Rachel Getting Married, but I'm also kind of afraid of my reaction to films about dysfunctional families. I need to get more friends so that I don't have to watch movies alone.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

This weekend is a little off. Due to the economy sucking, they've been shaving off hours at the bookstore, so I'm only on call for Saturday night (when I normally have a definite 9-4 shift instead).

I am working at the law firm on Sunday and have already been warned that it's going to be busy with tons of clients, so we'll probably be there for at least 4-5 hours (I was told when I was hired a few weeks ago that the average shift would be 2-3 hours, but I don't mind picking up some extra cash).

I have a feeling that's the way things will be for a while--retail cutting back hours, and the bankruptcy law firm giving me extra.
