I look more rad than Lutheranism

My brother got a tattoo on his chest a few weeks ago -- it's the alchemical symbol, which they use as a logo for the restaurant (if you look on their website, it's in the upper left of this page, next to the words "The Alchemist": [link]

I knew the restaurant meant a lot to him, especially after the flood, but when he told me about the tattoo, I cried.

YA BABY! Congrats, Jon.

I have been laughing like a loon. Tomorrow promises to be a god awful drag, but today... NSB.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

WHEEE FAQBABY!!! I’m so thrilled for you all! I remember many years ago when Jon came to my house in CT and told a group of Buffistas all about this mysterious woman he had recently seen reading Lemony Snicket and found via Craigslist...at the time we all burbled about how cool it would be if she was The One, but HOW AWESOME is it that she WAS? And now you have a baby! Very happy.

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

oh ita, I'm sorry. I know it's so hard to let go of the stats sometimes.

Yeeps Kat, that's quite a situation. Also an odd article, no? Like it starts out with one story, then throws in another one that is related, but only thematically, and a suspicious death at that. Weird article.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I know it's so hard to let go of the stats sometimes.

My mantras are "All five-year survival rates reflect treatment available more than five years ago." and "If 60% die in five years, that means 40% live."

The stats are hard to let go of. Sometimes this is my brain: [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Hooray, baby Aaron!
