Buffistas

Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

JZ, I'm glad you said what you said. You're right, and I'm sorry for my part in it. I try not to do that, either backchannel or here, just for my own peace of mind, because it feeds my own brain monsters too much.

Consuela, I'm glad the work presentation went well!

I'm so sorry to hear about Deena's health.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

ita, there's also a service that costs you about $25, and it lets you run the VIN on a car and find out if it's been in any accidents. I forget what it's called--Carfax, maybe?

Man, the temperature has really dropped here this week. I had to break out my pashmina already.

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

Fall weather is blowing in (loudly) here in the Languedoc. I'm kinda glad that I didn't schlep my fall coat here for nothing.

I'm also sad to hear that Deena's doing poorly.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ita ! I'm sorry about all the garbage the universe has dumped on you - I hope things get better.

I'd like to add to Consuela's note - check and make sure any care you're interested in hasn't been in a flood as well as accident. Seemingly, a number of cars that were flooded in the eastern part of the country are being fixed up and some are being sold without disclosing their watery history.

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

Wow, T.Rex comics made me go look up Mummy Brown.

Apparently, one of the all time great pigments used to be ground up mummies.

Heh! The Time Magazine article about it in 1964 is delightfully macabre.

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

Thomas Boswell has the perfect description of Tigers manager Jim Leyland: "Normally, he looks like he just found four dead bodies in the trunk of an Elmore Leonard character’s car and can’t bear to ask Dutch how they got there."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Did anyone know it's Ada Lovelace Day? [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So I was talking to my therapist last night about how I'm so stressed out at work, and she was like, "Your department is down two people right now? That's why." OH RIGHT. That IS why!

But I still don't feel like working today.

In honor of Ada Lovelace Day, I'll give a shout-out to Lise Meitner: [link]

Now tagless for your comfort.

Between the Bloggess, Ada Lovelace Day and this [link] I suspect it's a very Buffista holiday.

Turns out I didn't know who Hugh Laurie was when I first started watching Spooks.
