You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

YAY, ERIN! ::throws confetti::

Happy birthday, Hil! I hope there are cupcakes.

Happy birthday Hil.

And happy birthday ... Jess was it? I know I missed some in there.

You know, the local paper ran a competition for the best cupcakes in the area. Had to do taste tests of cupcakes from every place that makes them. sigh ... why can't I get a job like that?

And, to show how they know their audience, the Sunday arts section ran a large photo of Daniel Craig. With a caption confessing that there was no particular reason to run it, except something along the lines of "look at him!"

Art Crawl!!!

Happy Birthday Hil!

I want cupcakes.

We have three birthdays in a row this week (at my office) - today, tomorrow and Saturday (mine!). So we're having cake today and I hope it's cupcakes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yay Erin!

Thanks for the birthday happies, everyone.

I've got to get dressed and go to my office and grade some quizzes. I so don't want to.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Hil! It's your birthday, do you have to grade?? Go get a cupcake instead.

Yay, Erin!!!!

Last night, I had a stack of things to copy. Copy machine broken. No copies. But, copy machine repair man working.

This morning, staff meeting. Then, ran to make a couple of absolutely needed copies. Copy machine still broken.

I don't think I can express how much I hate making copies.

I'm getting the pig!

YAY Erin! That's wonderful news.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Sarah Palin, your 15 minutes are up. Go home.

“Not dead yet!”

Sarah Palin, your 15 minutes are up. Go home.

Ugh. No kidding. Did you see where on Larry King last night she said she was "proud" of Barack Obama?

Proud? Really? Maybe I read it wrong, but it just smacked of condescension to me.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Think I should pop down and see if she'll have a Cuban coffee with me? I'll say I'm a reporter.

Cuban coffee would cover up the taste of anything you added to it, right?

Yay, Erin! Happy birthday, Hil! Belated happies to Jessica, whom I don't think I wished happy birthday to. I've been doing a lot of telepathic communication with the board recently. I think good wishes strongly in your direction, but don't actually move my fingers.
