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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
He was on my list! (Yes, I already have a list going of people to look for when I get home)

brillig
have no need to follow Paul, so maybe I just ignore him.
But if you're debating people who think Paul was right, a good response is useful.

In other odd naming news [link]
Last month the Court of Cassation Italy's highest appeal Court banned a couple from naming their son Friday - Venerdi - because the name "could expose the boy to ridicule".
The court said the name was derived from the manservant in Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe, and was therefore associated with "subservience and inferiority". The judges ordered the boy to be renamed Gregorio, after the saint's day on which he was born.
I've heard before of government authorities in European countries telling parents that they can't use a particular name, but I've never heard of them mandating an alternative before.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
How about this guy? [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why? It's not for me enough that I've never made it that far.
The NBC Building seems to be at 30 Rockerfeller something. Plaza, I think.
I went there once, dinner and dancing at the Rainbow Room. Probably the most a guy has ever spent on me, and it was completely platonic. That's how I roll.
Perkins, DAMN. Please do research, yes.
They are already dead, thank god.
They are best that way, yes.
I'm loving the Netflix streaming to my TiVo EXCEPT that if you try and go into the menu when the 'net is on the fritz the box seems to lock up. And I have Time Warner flaky cable internet. So I will spend some time listening to music on my Apple TV until my baby's booted all the way back up and maybe I can get back to Dr. Who, classic style.
My life is so first world I could barf.

It's everywhere. I've been getting emails the past few days from various Jewish organizations practically begging for money because they lost huge amounts with him. A few charities have already had to shut down, and it looks like a few more might in the next few weeks.
