Hee. We used to bitch about that line too when I was a kid.
And we never accidentally set our bulletins on fire, but we intentionally dripped wax on our hands.
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

I keep seeing people out on the street all bundled up ... except they're wearing flip-flops. WTF?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Then she complained about a line in 'In The Bleak Midwinter' (the one that goes 'earth stood hard as iron/water like a stone' - "It's 17 degrees C in Tel Aviv today," she quite accurately pointed out).
You have to expect a certain amount of meteorological dissonance when celebrating a Middle Eastern religion that co-opted European solstice observances in order to be more appealing to the locals.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
blergh. Well, at least I am having cocktails tonight with Jesse, Frank, and EllenS. Though I don't know how social I feel. I will likely be 20% unsociable, and Jesse will have to have a talking-to with me about it next week.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The kids at my school last year used to wear flip flops all year long. If it was cold, they'd wear SOCKS with their flip flops. Which is all kinds of wrong.

Booze can't hurt.
Speaking of which, I had a drink at a local place last week; they called it an Italian Ginger - prosecco, ginger liqueur and lemon. Very nice ... went down easy.

Until those European practices meet Middle Eastern people coming the other way (and complaining about Victorian poetical inaccuracies that never made any sense).

In fact, booze may be the only thing that helps, in that circumstance.

I adore you both. That is all.
Training went well - I was observing/acting as backup for an intern. I love doing trainings and presentations but damn, they are tiring. ::staples hand to forehead:: Thankfully, I can go home now.

Oh and I meant to say, I'm so sorry, Nora. I hope you find something better, and soon. I don't suppose your boss gets a 360 review?
