Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Dana, I bought The Book of Mormon this morning and it is great (I forgot to use our link, though). I am guessing that you, too read the tumblr "fuckyeahstephensondheim". I tried to tell my Sondheim loving, musical writing, frat-boy student about it, but he had never heard of tumblr and was very confused. I thought the college students were supposed to know about all these internet things!

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

Note: smonster was not IN the phone.

flea...did you shrink smonster? Because you know we'll have to put her on the taffy pull if she's all tiny.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Well, I caved in and called Gilt Groupe.

I'd started e-mailing them on Tuesday; sent another yesterday and a third today - getting crankier all the time. I called and explained the situation and, as it turns out, they want all your credit card information BUT the amount of the gift card will be automatically applied to your order and any excess will go on the credit card. But this isn't anywhere I could find on their site; isn't on the page where you put in your credit card information. And, frankly, their stuff's expensive enough that I wouldn't buy it without the gift card and I was afraid the whole thing would go on my card and the gift amount would just sit there. When I pointed out that this wasn't anything I'd seen on any other site, that it wasn't explained anywhere, and was told that basically that's how their site was set up.

I finally got mad enough with them that I told them to refund the amount to my friend. Spent about 20 minutes on the phone doing this. Checked my e-mail about half an hour later and there was a response to my first e-mail - first response since Tuesday.

So - if you want to use them, be warned.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Tonight, I will be passing on an offer of casual sex so I can instead watch game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals. (One has to have priorities!)

Tomorrow, possible haircut, moviegoing. Sunday, pool time if it's not cloudy.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I bought Book of Mormon but I get to see it in a couple of weeks, so I'm holding off on listening to the soundtrack until then.

Why can't you watch the finals and then have sex? Are you really working all the angles? When you're 83 you'll wish you had that booty call.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Choosing a new apartment!

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

When you're 83 you'll wish you had that booty call.

Who is the booty call with? Or am I just looking at this like a chick?

Someone at work has fallen through with delivering me stuff, and I have kind of fallen through with delivering her stuff. But she's fallen through using stuff I have actually delivered her! So she fell through more!

Still, I have a meeting in ten minutes I'm unprepared for and I can't reach her and I'm screwed and will look stupid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We are going to folk concerts on Saturday and Sunday night. Also planning to go to the Building Museum to see some newish exhibits.

Not someone I'm into enough to make the drive after the hockey game ends at 10:30 or later.
