I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Scrappy!

Weekend plans: a flying lesson, some gardening, and a continuation of last weekend's attempt to Clean All the Things. Also, a friend is hosting a Silent Movie fest on Sunday, which should be fun. Something about Louise Brooks.

Happy birthday, Scrappy! I know you know how to indulge yourself, so do it right.

Cash, you totally look formidable and ready to knock people down in your roller guise.

Happy almost birthday, Aimee!

I'm going to the Great British Beer Festival tomorrow, which should be fun. I'm going to do my best to stay sober for as long as possible so I can taste the maximum number of beers. However, I had one beer at an office seminar yesterday and was a bit wobbly when I left, so I don't know how feasible that is.

Because books.

Aw, excellent news, brenda! Yay green card!

Also, oy. I just sent a report in where I'd used 'find and replace all' and ended up with 'opium poopy' all over one section.

Fifteen minutes until home time.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, dear. I don't want to laugh at your misfortune, but well..... I am 12.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Birthday Happies, Scrappy!!

Oh, dear.

Indeed. Although a co-worker used find and replace all a few weeks ago to change all of the occurences of 'pre-ex' and 'post-ex' to 'Pre-excavation' and 'post-excavation'. Of course he was too lazy to separate out the appendices so the whole human remains report said things like 'The sexcavation of the individual is unclear, but further work may allow for the sexcavationing of the individual'.
