The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I didn't watch Heroes, so it's hard to say for sure, but I think I'd rather have asspully science than stupid characters.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I kinda couldn't watch it. I watched bits and pieces.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

So, the attack in Jerusalem last night? Not terror attack.

It was a 19 year old stupid, selfish) kid with a broken heart. Because running over people is the thing to do after a girl says "no" to you.

19 people injured in this craziness. Not sure if all of them recover.

I hope at least that will shut up the "ruin the house of the one who did it" choir.

I don't like the world so much sometimes.

Happy Birthday, Nilly! (Not sure whether it's the 22nd or the 23rd, but either way - Happies to you!)

Hi, shiny new thread.

Ack, Shir, that's awful!

Nilly, have a wonderful Hippo Birdies of a day, K?

I have an interview this morning (yay!) but it's with a bottom-feeding recruiter firm (boo!) that trolls Monster.com for tyro programmers that it can place in less than glamorous jobs (boo!). OTOH -- me, tyro programmer trying to move over to .NET and web dev in general. So I may be able to use them. At least I've got my eyes open.

Our wings are not tired.

Happy Birthday to Nilly!

May the interview be better than expected, Theo.

Happy birthday, Nilly!

“Not dead yet!”

Happy Birthday, Nilly.

And heaven save us from 19 year olds with broken hearts. Why don't they just jump off bridges anymore? (Points to anyone who gets the reference, tacky though it may be.)
