Happy Birthday, Suzi!!
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Made it to work, so today is already better than yesterday. Also got my DD coffee, so better on 2 counts already.
My boss has checked out of this job mentally, it is not even funny. I am so glad I am on vacation next week.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Managed to make it downtown last night to see the stage adaptation of Terry Pratchett's "Nation". Actually, it was a silmulcast of the production in London. Very nice.
I wonder if I'll actually have work this week. I'm taking Friday off to fly to Boston. (yes we're keeping a close eye on the airline/airport situation)

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Yay work and DD coffee, msbelle! Hmmm. I am not sure if Yay work! is the best sentiment.
I am horrible, horrible, horrible at scrabble, although it never occurred to me that reading the whole word rather than sounding it out might be why. Actually, I don't even know if I get how sounding out a word teaches you to read, just how to pronounce something. Hmmm.
I also think I might hab a cold.

I am middling at Scrabble. I don't suck, but I don't have those instant anagram skills, nor the patience to sit there an figure out good words. I am getting better at learning to use the triple/double score spots, but sometimes I just fall for a pretty word. I usually start strong, but then get impatient for the game to end.

Because books.
Happy, happy birthday, Suzi, with love and cake!
I'm Sue when it comes to Scrabble, but I'm ruthless at backgammon. Love it. Except no one at home will play with me anymore.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I adore Scrabble but my neighbors have also got me hooked on Syzygy (which is played with Scrabble tiles but no board).
Anyway. I need more Scrabble in my life. I get my Backgammon fix on the iPhone, but the Scrabble app eats up too much battery life. Facebook Scrabble, anyone?

Because books.
I don't even know where the Facebook games are. I should figure that out. I also need to find Syzygy, apparently.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My seven letter word across two double word scores was SMEGMAS.
Merry Smegmas! It's a Smegmas miracle!

My boss has checked out of this job mentally, it is not even funny.
Is he/she leaving for another job?
I'm Sue at regular Scrabble but better at speed Scrabble, because I don't get caught up in wanting to make fancy words. I get stuck on something in regular, and then someone does something to foil my brilliant plan, and I have no back-up. Terrible at backgammon. I'm good at cards, though. I want to learn bridge. I'm good at the play, but I've never learned the bidding very well, which kind of kills it.
Oh, I am so cranky about this snow. Not even funny. Plus, I think I was careless shovelling yesterday, and now my mid-back kind of hurts, so shovelling out from this next round might be tricky. Blergh. I just want to hibernate until spring. Who's with me? Anyone? God, I wish I could.
