Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm guessing from today's comments that the royal wedding is Friday?

Next week Friday, I think. This Friday is Good Friday.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Next week Friday, yep. I'm a republican - I hope I don't have to give back my day off. I'd quite like it (if only to point and mock. Or stay at home and watch a different channel). I think every new series of Doctor Who should be celebrated with an extra holiday. Scrap that, every episode of DW.

I only know the royal wedding is next Friday because we recently discovered a bug in our web timesheet program that caused an error when UK holiday hours were automatically assigned. So while debugging that I noticed that our client's UK folks had four holidays in two weeks.

Totes. With parades and costume parties.

Now tagless for your comfort.

They are calling for 6-10 inches of snow between tomorrow and Wednesday. I'm in denial. This seriously sucks.

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

The royal wedding is soon! Those crazy kids!

Um, at least it will melt soon?

Last night we had about an inch of snow. A week ago it was in the 80s, and I put my A/C in.

Yeah--back up in the mid to high 40s by Thursday but I'm still being pissy about a heavy snowfall in late April. Total bullshit.

At least we're leaving for Florida on Sunday.

I'm with you, Cashmere. I had an inch of snow on my car (the heavy stuff, blech) this morning.

I am sooo looking forward to Vegas next Thursday--sis says it got up to 90 degrees yesterday!

Sometimes it snows in April.

Sometimes I feel so bad.

Aagh. Oz has been AWOL for 3.5 hours now. He is only out when I'm out, and rarely goes further than underneath my next door neighbours' deck. My neighbours two houses down, in the opposite direction were the last to see him and it sounded like he was heading in the direction of home. But I don't see him anywhere. I've walked the block a few times and I've been banging a fork against a can of cat food, but nada. It's probably too soon to worry, but I'm worried. He's a cat that spooks easily.
