Happy Birthday Aurelia!

I just returned the DVD of Mary Queen of Scots to the library unwatched because I was never in the mood for it in the past two weeks. Yet somehow I find the time to watch horror movies and Marvel animation. Oh well, at least I am actually reading the story collection I checked out, so my brain's not in total spoonfed junk food mode.

Happy belated to Brenda, and I haven't seen Aurelia lately, but hope her b-day is good too. I finished off Mom's birthday cake today so I guess I am in the spirit.

OMG a musical about the large hadron collider?! Very exciting, even without the personal connection!

Relieved you have a job, Jess. Those numbers are whack

The VP who is retiring at the end of the month/week brought in some fancy sweets for the building so I am enjoying a cannoli, no gun

Well, no, of course not. It had to be left behind.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sighh.... I read "large hard-on collider" and was briefly a 12 year old boy.

Happy birthday, Aurelia!

I’m glad you dodged the ax, Jessica. 14k layoffs is nuts.
