Can you squeeze a lemon on me?

[cyrano]

So after all the stress of worrying about not having enough for my gamers to do today, I was saved by my repeatedly forgetting that things always take more time than I expect them to, and getting almost to where (in my mind) things actually started happening before the session closed.

After gaming, we stopped by Colonel Lee's Mongolian Buffet, having been reminded of the place by Sunyata's attempts to locate it.
I've got to say I was disappointed. The selection was small, the place felt dingy, many of the surfaces felt tacky, I'm not sure I was impressed by the refrigeration on the buffet, and the cook's constant coughing and clearing his throat didn't reassure me either. Su's is a world better, but what I really miss is Chang's up in Jantzen Beach. (Insert Homer drooling sound here.) Huge buffet line with all sorts of meats, vegetables, sauces.... (More drooling sound.)

And in honor of the Feast of St. Valentine, I would once again like to express my annoyance with the idea that 'Romeo and Juliet' is such a wonderful love story. They meet, briefly, twice before they're married two days later, and then by the third day they've both killed themselves. This is a love that was almost as deep as Brittney Spears' first marriage. (Hey Brit? Do you need an apothecary?)

One of the stories we're hoping to tell in "In A Dark Wood" (probably in the second year, assuming there's ever a first year) is to do a retelling of R&J. I would really love to build Juliet into... well, a real character? I'm glad to hear that maybe there's someone else in the world who won't think that's a blasphemy.

It's not that I think she's not real, it's that they're both amazingly young and amazingly stupid and I think those qualities (while probably common in a lot of modern romance) do not make for a Great Love Story.
She acts a lot like an overwrought teenager, and I think Bill got that down pretty well. So hey, do you think the Montague Boys could hang out at Chang's? (:

Is lunch or dinner better?

Hear, hear! Also add to your evidence the title characters being what --- 12 and 14? Teenagers have a tendency to over react and fling themselves around. These two just went way overboard.

Which teenagers tend to do. And which I approve of because it means fewer of them survive, which keeps the population under control without imposing hunting seasons.

Ah, Romeo and Juliet. One of the Bard's finest comedies.
