Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

that either what he said was wrong or that the Pope isn’t infallible.

He’d probably just decide Francis isn’t a legitimate pope. (Also technically I recall the pope is only infallible when they say they’re getting a message from god, not all the time, but still)

My trivia team got second place again last night—second week in a row! Amusingly that means you get to choose a category for the next week—and we would’ve won this week if we’d gotten all the answers in our own category right but we missed one!! (We were still pretty proud because the visual round was identifying football movies from stills, and none of us are football or movie people)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's called Ex Cathedra, IIRC. (Those 12 years of Catholic school are very long ago.)

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

Imagine converting to Catholicism, and then only a few years later, you are personally called out and smacked down by the Pope.

SO FUNNY

Thanks some more for the birthday wishes! I had an email from the service the company uses to give us our little employee rewards so I clicked through and jumped through all the hoops to get into my account to find it was just "happy birthday" and no actual award. The thought doesn't count for that much when it's coming from my employer. OTOH, I do appreciate the card from my coworkers, although it made me sad to see that there are way fewer signatures on it than there used to be. But y'all's thoughts and pixels are always welcome!

Wow, when the Pope is telling you that you are doing Catholicing wrong, that's rough.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

So, it's been a while. But since it looks like Buffy is actually coming back, so too shall I return to Buffistas...

I, ummm, didn't die I guess?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Happy Birthday, -t! May it be a good year ahead!

Feel better soon, LTC. And congratulations, Matilda!

Hi, CaBil!
