no, they were the only way he could remember their names.

Seska that really sucks, I'm sorry you and your girl are in that situation.

Work annoyed me again and it was over me being taken out to lunch for my birthday (which is Tuesday). I was told to pick a place by my boss and then he kept shooting down ideas, one of them he even suggested. I named a couple of locally owned places and was told I shouldn't pick something run of the mill but something special and then three chains were named, like the Olive Garden.

So finally I named a place and it was accepted and I was asked who I wanted to invite along with my department. So I named three people, then it was... well you're inviting V so you really should invite Y, Z, and Z, which is all of another department (they are all friends). Which kinda pissed me off since I wasn't even invited to the last department lunch and, in fact, no one even made any lame exucuse about how I'm the receptionist and it would take a long time blah blah. Just as they were all leaving "By the way we're going to be at lunch"

And now I'm being guilted into adding all these people. So there will be 10 people at this birthday lunch. Which means we probably can't even go to my choice because I don't think they can handle a party of 10 for lunch.

Originally I was going to turn down any offer of lunch since I felt so left out the last time, but then I decided that was petty.

Ha, he is totally my dad.

That's bullshit.

I'm sorry your birthday lunch is turning into a fiasco. That's lame.

Say, has anyone ever been to New Orleans for Xmas? I am seriously considering booking tickets to go.

German boy, 14, struck by meteor, lives.

That sucks, Skye. WTF?

Well, I have lived in New Orleans for Christmas. And actually, should be there this year.

German boy, 14, struck by meteor, lives.

What a dumb article. It didn't even say what kind of super powers the kid got.

A red hot, pea-sized piece of rock then hit his hand before bouncing off and causing a foot wide crater in the ground.

If it went for his hand, maybe the "meteorite" was a power ring, seeking him out.

but would:

In brightest day, in blackest night,

No evil shall escape my sight

Let those who worship evil's might,

Beware my power... Green Lantern's light!

Sound good in German?

Let's see how he now reacts to the color yellow.
