I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Happy Birthday 'Suela!

Did you know you have a sinus cavity that runs from the soft palate of the roof of your mouth, up the backside of your nose and hooks around behind your eye? I do now, because apparently it is plugged and in over 2 feet of water, it feels like a crochet hook is being jammed up in there and makes you go crosseyed. Holy crapman.

Oh! Sue! I heard that The Talent Will Not Be Mingling at the Downton event next weekend -- disappointing!

What? What is The Talent going to do? Just make an appearance and give a Royal Wave? The Talent needs to get over Himself and Mingle! Though it will kill me less that I am not there.

Also, considering the relative distance, flights between Halifax and Boston are expensive and those aren't even the direct ones!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Consuela!

It's Gary's birthday today, as well. Just got back from taking him to dinner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I guess just a Q&A on stage. And who knows, maybe it's Mrs. Patmore who refused!

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

Happy Birthday, Suela!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hil, speaking as someone who went to college in Vermont and was often in freezing places, the key is not thickness but layers. Better to have two thin shirts and two thin sweaters than one thick one. Even tights and a cotton shirt under your thermals will make a big difference.

not your mom's socks.

Happy birthday Consuela! May the universe make you many wonderful things to read this season and all next year!

Happy birthday to G, Sheryl!

Msbelle, thinking of you and your family.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Happy Birthday Consuela!
