Tonight's dinner was a theme night chez bon Bob. The theme: Thursday night at the old folks' home! Creamed spinach (with tofu) and mashed parsnips (with tofu). Literally nummy.
I can't believe I have a cat that loves cooked spinach. Weirdos.
It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Very distracting guest stars on The Mentalist tonight. I totally associate them with other roles.

Because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Hil's birthday.
Happy birthday, Hil! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!
Also, since I'm not sure how much computer time I'll be able to have tomorrow, I'll post now that it'll be ChiKat's birthday, and send lots of early wishes for her, as well.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Happy birthday, Hil!
I wonder if there are whole congregations that would be like, hellllloooo Espiscopal church in America, we are more aligned with your beliefs and want to become part of you now.
That may be happening in the opposite direction, oddly enough. The Pope has just made an offer to accept entire churches of more conservative Anglicans/Episcopalians - the ones who aren't happy about the direction we're moving, in terms of things like women bishops and at least discussing the whole gay thing. [link] It suggests that the Catholic church considers itself the answer to schism, rather than a cause. Which is interesting.
JZ, your church sounds fantastic. Mine is similarly diverse and full of very random people. It makes me happy.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday, Hil!!!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday, Hil!
My OB said I needed more calcium. So today I had cheesecake for breakfast.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Happiest of birthdays, Hil.

Sounds reasonable to me, but then I had cherry pie for lunch yesterday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy Birthday Hil.
It's Friday!
What are people doing this weekend?
I am going to see Leonard Cohen tonight, getting my haircut tomorrow, and doing laundry and sewing buttons on things on Sunday.
