I purchased a copy of Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of The Vanities, and every time I pick it up to read I always think, "The Vanfire of the Bonnities," a clearly meaningless phrase that I nevertheless haven't failed once to try to analyze, yielding nothing but slight, repetitive frustration.

I got into a little conversation with Jake yesterday about gracefully strong-arming someone after claiming to have done so to one of my coworkers. Is it possible to gracefully strong-arm? We need answers.

Oh, and Vnak and Katie's babies are here, and they are fabulous. Woot.
