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

No, everyone should move to my building. SO there.

Hmm... yeah. there is that pesky making enough money thing.

What do you wanna do while you are out, sara? I kinda want to go to SF to run in the far side run and see the new California Academy of Science. But that seems like too far to go for a run and it's on Sunday which is a bummer. If it were on Sat, it would be way more doable.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Obama's pretty stiff at the beginning (and obviously reading from cards the whole time), but he eventually relaxes and gets some good zingers in towards the end.

hip deep in pie

I'm lucky I guess, my grandfathers attestation papers are online. But that was WW I, not WW II. I'm amazed that he's on there, because I would have assumed that he would have enlisted for France (he tried and was too young) or in Newfoundland. But he enlisted in Montreal.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

a poor substitute for Killer Shrimp, which has closed

I never made it there. I am sorry about that. But I'm sure your shrimp were nummy, because I like them shrimpy.

I'm realizing that I need to spend more time reconnecting with people because being connected makes me feel happier.

Word. I also like different people. Some hottie made small talk with me in the supermarket today and I remembered part of the reason I loved teaching krav so much--new people. Like people that don't stay (although this guy might not have been kicked out of bed for eating crackers, with his cute living alone groceries and all)--they refresh me in a different way from quality time with people I care about.

I think that the new people thing is not something I crave so much. I wonder if it's because I'm around students all day?

I should go to sleep as I am actually getting sleepy. Sleepy is nice. sleeping is nicer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi folks!

Kat as far as Wild Animal Park vs WAP + Zoo goes, are your parents up for two big days in a row? That might get you your answer.

I like how the terrorist fist bump has become accepted

I like how it's generally called the terrorist fist bump

Well, I like them better when there's turnover. Not something you're looking for in your day job.

Isn't this pretty?

I cracked my dad up over the weekend after I acted outraged about a couple of soldiers giving each other a "terrorist fist bump" in an Army commercial (though they kind of did it sideways instead of dead-on, which I guess is the way to do it in "Real America.")

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

I kinda want to go to SF to run in the far side run and see the new California Academy of Science. But that seems like too far to go for a run and it's on Sunday which is a bummer. If it were on Sat, it would be way more doable.

Come to SF!
