Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

It saddens me that Twilight may ruin a perfectly good obscure family name. SADDENS.

I'm dismayed on your behalf. I didn't read Twilight, so I didn't know that until today. Esme remains untainted by sparkly vampires in my world if it's any tiny consolation.

I knew twins in grade school who shared the middle name Aloysious. John and James. I can't believe I remember that. Well, I mean, we hung out through high school, so. One was good and one was evil (but got less so as he grew up).

“Not dead yet!”

Has the imminent downfall begun? Anyone else having trouble with LJ?

Because books.

::raises hand::

And please don't say that. I haven't done that backup thing yet, and it intimidates me.

Anyone else having trouble with LJ?

Big time. But I doubt that LJ is going poof; it gets wonky from time to time.

LJ being down leaves me with the problem of what to watch obsessively while pootling about in Photoshop.

But we're less than 50 posts from the end of this thread so I think I've found a winner!

ION, that 'Lunch at the White House' photo is a strange viewing experience. Never has one single photo engendered so much admiration and animosity in a single glance. It's a weird cocktail.

I am ready to post my big year end stuff over at lj, and no lj. Harumph.

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

The name I didn't get was Aliki, Greek form of Alice. It has its charms, but is an even easier tease than ita. My sister escaped being called Philippa, which would have suited her very well.

Less than 24 hours to my procedure, about which I will no doubt want to complain once it's done. I expect immediate pain.
