My google says that quote's not Talmud, but Anaïs Nin.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.
'Harm's Way'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

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

Happy Birthday to Deena!

Shir, one of the sources I found is calling it a Kabbalist teaching/quote. It's got an attribution of sorts to the Maharal of Prague and it's got its origins in a Torah story about Joshua leading the Jews into battle.

No matter how awesome an email started the day, I still had to go to work and that sucks.

Oh, Monday.
Today I have to leave work early to get my sister & family to the airport. I wanted to stay home this morning and yell at a contractor that "fixed" a drain that ran between the neighbor's house and ours - and flooded part of our yard. When he did the work I told him it would flood that part of the yard, but he gave me a lecture on how he had 35 years experience and knew what he was doing ("young lady," says he). I remained skeptical as I have 40 years experience as the daughter of a geotechnical engineer, and, frankly, any idiot knows that water runs downhill.
Anyway, it's up to my DH to tell him that there are only two fixes we'll approve (and he's not going to like either one of them, because neither are quick fixes), and my DH doesn't like these confrontations.

Happy Birthday Deena!
It was a big weekend for the dogs. They killed a mole and kitten in our backyard. Our daughter discovered the kitten and got pretty upset about it for awhile. I guess the kitten (or smallish cat, it's hard to tell by the size) was sneaking into our yard and finally got caught.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am not at work! But am back in the NYC, after a delightful trip to Vegas. Had good times, got a little sunburned but not terrible, and ended up actually winning money! I have a lot of tv to watch today...

Oh, I wanna hurt him now.

Happy Birthday Deena!
After another terrible fevery night, I feel almost better today, except for a headache. I wish this weird virus would just leave.
