Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness. Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

Thrive to spite them

I like celery. Mostly cooked but I also like it in tuna or chicken salad.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Add me to the list of those who like celery. I like the variety of flavor, from bitter through neutral to sweet. I like the variety of texture, from loud firm crunch through crisp to quiet al dente.

The lightning bugs were out in force tonight to entertain me on my evening walk. A marvel I despair of ever catching on camera.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My mom and I have often discussed how we can identify people by posture and the way they move at least as reliably as by face. We are both very nearsighted.

I like celery in soup, chicken salad, chopped up and cooked with a roast, or just by itself. But I would draw the line at soda.

um, the Chair of the Texas Senate GOP followed me on twitter. DO NOT LIKE.

I think my twitter would become a nonstop stream of French Revolution posts.

I met John Negroponte last night! Because I was saying hello to my old boss, who is now the Archivist of the United States, and John Negroponte came to introduce himself to Old Boss, and John Negroponte is a longtime diplomat who was good manners and introduces himself to the nobodies as well as the somebodies. #dcproblems

Yes, that is a delightful quality.

Mmmm, celery. Alone, with blue cheese since I don't eat wings, delivery device for peanut butter or other stuff, in salads and soups. Bring it on.

Hmmm, Friday June 23rd. Doesn't it seem like there might be a birthday today?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I don't know, I don't think I've heard anything about that?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Birthday... birthday... sounds familiar... Ste... somebody. Wait, when is Stephen Colbert's birthday?

Birthday? I know! It was the birthday of Jean Benoît Guillaume Robert Antoine Louis Marie Adolphe Marc d'Aviano, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who sadly passed in 2000.
