Skipping (yes, my computer still refuses to talk to the internet. I've had to actually call people and the like instead of e-mailing them! Where will this madness end?), because I don't know if I'm going to have any computer time tomorrow (what with shabbat and all, and the, um, no computer talking to the internet), and according to the Buffista Calendar, it's going to be a double Buffista event: August 1st is both Shir's birthday, as well as Sheryl and her DH's anniversary.

Early wishes for all!

Also, of course, short Fridays and great weekends!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hi Nilly! What's new?

Not killing anyone. I hope.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

NIlly sighting! How are the wedding plans?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

What are people doing this weekend?

Biking, gardening, rambling through a nearby botanical garden . . . or possibly nothing at all. It's wonderfully unscheduled.

No homicide~ma to sarameg.

t Looking at watch

(Do I have enough time for at least a quick hello to my beloved Buffistas?)

(Oh, how could I *not*?)

Hey, tommy!

sarameg! Welcome back home! Minimum homicide, please.

Ryan's dad! Um, I mean, billytea!

Wedding plans were put on hold because of the time of year (it's a mourning period for the ruin of the temple, almost 2000 years ago, ending with a big fast which still makes my head hurt even though it ended last night).

On Sunday, however, they'll have to resume in full speed.

I need a dress, and if I don't have my hair done and wear makeup, my roommates won't talk to me, so I have to find somebody to do that, too.

(And, um, is it OK to confess that I couldn't care less? I don't wanna have a wedding! I wanna be married and have a family and all that long-term stuff, but the one-evening-to-rule-them-all interests me only in the sense that I want to make sure that nobody is hurt or offended, as much as possible. Alas, there's no practicing-orthodox-Jewish equivalent to eloping to Vegas, so there we go.)

Forget me, though - how are YOU guys?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Good morning Nilly!

Was there an earthquake this morning or did I just dream that there was an earthquake?

That's too bad. Perhaps you can find some equivalent, maybe involving pirates?

t Waving at Allyson How is Sam doing?

It's impossible by definition (the bureaucracy involved is supposed to take time, minimum of 45 days before the ceremony).

Also, I kinda want both my parents as well as his to continue talking to me.
