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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm glad to hear you're fed and warm, Liese. Sleep well.

I am just now getting a chance to check my gmail acct, and I notice this in an email from Groupon:

Hand-crafted goods, like giggling babies coated in a thick layer of wax, showcase what skilled fingers are capable of.

WTF?!? Who the hell dips a giggling babies in wax?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

WTF?!? Who the hell dips a giggling babies in wax?

People created by Thomas Harris?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Burrell, I like Groupon for the most part (hell, I bought $60 worth of Groupons for a gluten-free bakery from them today for $30), but I think their attempts at "humor" (scare quotes intentional) are just weak and sad. They just try too hard and aren't as cool and funny as they think they are.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. Matilda has a cough that hasn't responded to two doses of cough medicine.

I'm already tensing up knowing how little sleep I'll get tonight.

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

WTF?!? Who the hell dips a giggling babies in wax?

The fine people from the Society for the Preservation of Giggling Babies, that's who.

I always wondered how you got Hummel Figures.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

So cold! I am snuggled on the couch with the puppies. There is about 4 in of snow on the ground and under that about an inch of ice. Guess who gets to go in anyway due to a meeting called on Wed. By bosses boss. I will give you a hint. She has two thumbs and is awake at 4am.

not your mom's socks.

Liese, I hope things get much better today.

Our heat pump has quit, so I'm there with you. It took me ages to realize, since we use gas below a certain temp, but the past few days have featured a freezing house at midday. I thought the thermostat at first, but no. It's the 1 year old heat pump. If this has anything to do with our most recent heart-dropping gas bill, I'm tempted to ask the guys who installed the heater to deal with some of the bill. Wish I could really do that.

Here's hoping Matilda feels better.

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

I'm pretty wide open, I think.

Me, too, I think. I'll check my calendar when I get to work.
