Hi guys! Thank goodness for the internet, because we wouldn't have known if the rapture had actually happened or not on Saturday, due to being in Sin City....
I am SO GLAD I took today off work.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
I can't believe the devastation in Joplin.
Which means SHE SLEPT THROUGH THE NIGHT ON HER OWN OMG.
Oh, that's a happy night for all involved.

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
That's as good a volcano name as Krakatoa!

Wow, volcanoes cause lightning? Awesome, in a scary way.
So is Iceland like Hawaii - basically made up of mostly volcanoes?

Exactly. It straddles the border between the Atlantic and European plates. In fact, at points on the island, you can see where the line between the two is expanding; it's a canyon in the middle of the island that is growing annually by the same rate as fingernails grow.

OK, somehow the concept of a canyon between plates is creepy. Like you might fall in and disappear into a void.
Much -ma to the sister, Fay--what is British medicine like, would they really send an envelope if it was bad news?!?!

did anyone else just go to a place where you wondered if OPI has a color named after the canyon? No? Just me? okthenasyouwere.
