That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Well, assignments came out today. I have 3 projects over the next two years and my lame-ass counterpart has 1.

WTF Tino?

Goddamn Tino!!

Does this mean job security, megan?

Oh, I'm not so much worried about job security. Which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing, but the fact that I would need a 50% raise to make the median income in San Francisco does make me wonder if it's worth staying here.

Sounds like your counterpart is Wally from the Dilbert strip, megan.

I think we need two Buffista islands: one cool weather, one hot. Then we need someone to develop a teleportation device between the two.

Sue -- or a bi-yearly migration, where we drive the cats over the mountain passes, and ford the rivers.

The radio show is finishing now, and everyone is crying, including me! (They just played a very touching montage and came back to both of the hosts audibly sobbing, and even their male newsreader is crying, so I lost it!) WGN is "going in a new direction," so they're firing these two after twenty years.

Which so sucks.

One of them is reading some ad copy, and then lost it halfway through and then said, "They're never gonna pay for this," which cracked everyone up.

I like this island

Undeveloped in the Bahamas. 55 acres. Sounds lovely.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

We'd have to buy a fleet of Buffista Snowmobiles

"Snow Machine" is over now? Thank goodness.

Aw, I hate that. Sorry, Kathy. Yay for new couch, though!

I turned on my favorite station up here yesterday and it was gone. In its place was Christian talk radio. I almost crashed the car.
