Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Sorry about your news Sophia. It's hard when someone you know dies long before their time.

Here's how I envision my wedding ceremony: The bride and I each roll down the aisle in our own human-sized hamster balls.

I saw a human-sized hamster ball on "Mythbusters", very entertaining.

Megan! Are you at work?

Nope. I'm home sick.

Can I just state for the record that I seriously loathe PowerPoint? I'm preparing slides for an upcoming presentation that I can do off the top of my head without a problem. Trying to "bulletize" it, though, is impossible and frustrating. I want to just do the talk, damn it!

Powerpoint is evil. When I am forced to use presentation software I go with Keynote.

Gloom- try doing the slides when you are not the person doing the presentation. It it REALLY hard.

All I need is a whiteboard. I could do it no problem.

A manky smell is wafting down from the ruined floors above, much the way shit rolls but in a new and improved moldy vapor form.

In terms of weddings, you guys (Buffistas in general) do know there is a whole spectrum of choices in between eloping and nightmare weddings? When I was younger knew lots of people who ended doing doing the JP thing, followed by renting a bar or having a barbeque at the beach, or nibbles at the largest home of the two new sets of inlaws. (I also knew a couple from the Phillines who rented one of the large buildings at UCLA, had 3,000 wedding guests, and a 50 piece orchestra . So not pretending that modest, unpretentious was universal, or even the majority case - just not unknown.)

(Umm of course you do know. Just a way of pointing out the middle course was being omitted from the discussion.)
