And I'll even take you to Jerusalem
And come and visit me!
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, beth!
Good luck w/your unfavorite holiday, Nilly! (Right?)
Shir, I'm so glad your sister is home!
Poor strep-y mac! My coworker has been out since Monday with it. Good times.

ION, sometimes technology is creepy. LinkedIn just suggested I read an article about my boss's new job.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Also, anyone with Time Warner cable anywhere can apparently watch our New York 1 people doing Pope coverage. But our beloved Pat Kiernan is on an alternate channel doing the regular news, so you're out of luck there, I guess.
The Pope has been ruining Today's Papers all week! I don't care who I'm marrying, I am never joining this church!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Jesse, is today your boss' last day, or have I missed that?

That which does not kill you should RUN
I'm so mad! When I woke up all over the radio it was "OMGWTF Earthquake!" and people apparently felt it as far away as Ohio and I didn't feel one little shake.
(x-posted with Bitches)
When I got up, the first question The Boy asked me was, "Were you awake at 4:30?"
Me: "Uh, NO."
Him: "There was an earthquake."
[pause]
Me: "Did you think I *caused* it?"
Him: "What?"
Me: "Well, you asked if I was awake then, like I was up and trying to open the Hellmouth or something."
[pause]
Him: "Well, are you?"
I told him that if any demons show up at his work (they recycle scrap metal; his work, that is, not the demons, although maybe the demons do) and ask for a talisman, to NOT GIVE IT TO THEM.
(We watched "Doomed" earlier this week, so we're sensitive to Hellmouth-open-y things.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, beth!
In honor of spa week, I got a facial on Wednesday. It's been nearly ten years since my last one. This one turned out a lot better--my skin is all bright and shiny.
Shir, glad your sister made it home for Passover.
No earthquake here.

Happy birthday, beth!
Did not feel earthquake at all. Suspect I will have to call my mother and reassure her that I'm not dead, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Happy Birthday, beth!
