fengi. Ten sentences, each one is about someone on my friends list. Comment with your guesses.
1. Happy Birthday! I thought it was on the 4th until I remembered that it was on the 2nd and it was too late to call.
2. My tolerance for poetry decreased drastically after college, but you made the cut.
3. But it could get so gloriously poofy if you just let me!
4. You have my favorite journal title out of everyone on my friends list. Of course, I am professionally biased.
5. Confessionals=currency of the id. You dish them as well as you take them.
6. The converse in Latin would be a lot more macabre.
7. Who needs Carrie Bradshaw?
8. Impossibly, she is even more beautiful than she is photogenic.
9. The Count of Monte Cristo is an excellent remedy for the false azure of the windowpane.
10. If you've got your grandpa's skills, I will be requesting you as my chaperone into the Lost World.

News update!!
Jun. 3rd, 2004 10:25 pmSo the latest in the face-off between CIA & State and PNAC/OSP is not only the sayonara of George Tenet, but also the resignation of James Pavitt, CIA deputy director of operations, a.k.a. Head Spook. The man in charge of Our Spies.
[Sidebar: Has anyone read 11 Septembre: L’Effroyable Imposture a.k.a. The Big Lie by Thierry Maysson? My mother called me to tell me about it--apparently it just got translated into Russian--it sounds on the tinfoil/extra-MIHOP side of things, but I'm interested in the idea of Bush being made to choose between those two factions on 9/11. I intend to read it in the near future.]
Of course, that's more front-page material than this story about drunken sailors, I mean our government, and how they are considering just, like, not doing a budget at all for next year, because "Embarrassing as that would be for the party that controls both houses of Congress, many Republicans are concluding they would be better off with no budget plan than with one that would require them to pay the cost of permanently extending last year's tax cuts." Apparently, a handful of non-neo-con Republicans had an ancestral memory flashback to the effect that they are supposed to be "the fiscally responsible party" and are demanding a "pay as you go" policy, breaking rank. The effect is charmingly bipartisan, but unfortunately seems to have no bearing on our administration that usually lies, but when it does not lie, it tells the truth in a sociopathic Eric Cartman kind of way, like: "We don't want to pay for the tax cuts, so we will just repeal the budget." Well, at least they will be working through the summer. I hope a pigeon gets stuck in their ventilation system.
Now, confusingly, Our Brave President awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Pope, because if you make a Venn diagram, they really have more in common than not, sectarian differences be damned (no pun intended). If someone wants to make my day and actually make a Venn diagram, please include Anna Nicole Smith somewhere in there, she refused to go film her show in Southern France because she was afraid that she would be beheaded like Nicholas Berg.
[On edit:mrmathgeek is a sweetheat and actually made the Venn diagram I asked for! Thank you mrmathgeek! Here it is.]
