If you check the site that was predicting Rapture yesterday, it now says "Fall 2009" instead of "September 21st."
How clever of them to vague it up. A suprise rapture is much more fun!
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Values of never that exclude probably too much cussing, but really, that's not going to change, and it's really not the same thing.
In my first job, we were hiring an assistant, and my boss came up with what turned out to be a brilliant question: What kind of boss are you looking for? It was brilliant because one of the people were were interviewing said she would never want to work for someone who swears. Oops. Bad fit!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'll admit to checking whether my more conservative Christian family members had updated their Facebook status today. They did. So either the Rapture didn't happen or they weren't part of it. Either way, they're probably a tad disappointed.
Maybe God will let the Raptured update their Facebook accounts from Heaven....

Loki seems to fail to understand that Devi is dead.serious when she's hissing and growling. He's kind of being a pain in the ass. I'm glad the days she'd beat the shit out of him are gone, but seriously, she gets MAD and he's relentless.

UPS didn't try to deliver my package today because it was "overlooked" at the sorting facility. I don't know if this means that they simply forgot it or if it means that they were having so mch fun kicking it around... of course their offices are closed, so there's noone to catch hell.

Oh! My crazy Joss fan coworker went to the sing-a-long Dr. Horrible/Joss interviewed by Ira Glass thing last night. I couldn't get tell if she actually stayed for the interview -- she's so weird. But she claimed her picture was on "Buffyfest," which I'd never heard of, but I went here [link] and didn't see her, so meh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I contend that if the Buffyfest people were real fans they'd be calling Sarah Michelle Prinze Sarah Michelle Prinze.
Or so I've decided, having just read she changed her name.

Hee.
I notice that Courteney Cox has dropped the "Arquette," without dropping the Arquette (right?).
