Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

Their stuff (info links on their cite, seminars they lead) seems to be mostly about living debt free.

Having 19 kids doesn't seem real conducive to doing that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

by the time we ate them, the sugar on the outside had absorbed the oil and turned into a greasy crunchy mess. It was simultaneously delicious and disgusting.

That sounds like my experience with the not-sufganiyot-but-similar-Sephardic treats my coworker has brought into work.

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

Having 19 kids doesn't seem real conducive to doing that.

It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Most of the recipes that I've seen say to sprinkle powdered sugar over the sufganiyot. My grandmother would always use vanilla sugar, but she would use vanilla sugar for a lot of things like that where most American recipes use powdered sugar.

Hmm. I wonder where I can get vanilla beans. There's really not enough time to make vanilla sugar before I want to make the sufganiyot, though.

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

I wanted to throw down.

I knew it!

For a good cause--for the cause of righteousness. I throw down for nothing less.

There's a team lunch next week. Is that billable time? That's probably not billable time. But it should be billable time. It's two hours!

What's the plot of Legend... nevermind. Wikipedia will tell me.

We should all get our own reality show?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Tonight, try to recover from the Work Week From Hell plus cookie-baking and massive house-cleaning.

Tomorrow, Holiday Open House in afternoon, plus in-laws staying overnight.

Sunday, get rid of In-Laws, then off to see Invictus (I hope).

BTW, any LAistas who want to brave the rain and pop by our Open House and eat ham and schmancy cheese and delicious pumpkin bread, email me and I'll send you our address!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I always wondered how polygamists manage, money-wise.

I don't give a damn how many wives/husbands people want to have (I'm very much more opposed to huge batches of children, simply from a population standpoint) but holy crow, it looks exspensive! Especially if you're operating under what (my admittedly sketch) knowledge of Muslim (and I think Mormom) parity is, where each spouse has to be provided for equally.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's very much a "if we can do it, anyone can" thing.

I'd probably have an easier time being debt free if I got paid to be on tv, called my house a church and didn't pay taxes.
