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

Crazy you, Suzi, not wanting an extra roommate who sat there making goo-goo eyes with one person, ignored everyone else, and didn't chip in.

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

Ugh Suzi, parenting is hard.

In me news: Stayed up too late but I got 13 papers graded today. Worth the trade-off.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Suzi, I think him being gone is a good thing. This bit of what you wanted to say to her:

Doesn't like you to do anything without him. Is cutting you off from your friends.

Set off dozens of alarm bells. I hope KBug gets to a point where she realizes that.

You're not a bitch. First you have a guest who over stayed their welcome in your home and put your foot down. But mostly importantly you're trying to help your daughter and that's not a bad thing.

So Buffistas - my FB friendslist is filling up with snotty cartoons about how this time of year is all about Christmas. I get frustrated when my relatives who are Christian start acting like they are being marginalized or oppressed or something.

I've been trying to find a list of all major and minor religious holy days that are celebrated in December. I want to put a list up and maybe on the actual day say something. But all I can find are lists for various Christian days and Judaism, and Kwanzaa. Does anyone know where I can find a list or have an idea of a better way to search Google.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I don't know about searching better, but the Chinese celebrate the Dongzhi Festival on the winter solstice. [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMFG. They started jackhammering outside my bedroom window before 7 this morning. Is that legal???

Thanks billytea.

Jesse jackhammering that early is evil. They'll at least be in the special hell.
