Family holidays ruined by earliest Easter in 90 years

It was felt that to celebrate Christ's resurrection on the wrong day would be blasphemous so it was very important to get the day right. The general rule was agreed at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD.

hahahahahahaaaha!!!

This cracks me up.  The idea that God / Jesus / anyone-who's-enlightened would be displeased/upset/blasphemised if a celebration were held at the wrong time..

Or even not held at all...  no big deal!

hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Who cares about Easter anyway?  Kids!  Eggs!  Families!  Is there a wrong day for families to celebrate their lives?  Are the eggs fresher in late March than in mid April?  Is it better for kids to chase eggs when the weather is cold?

Spring hasn't even sprung here in Tokyo.  Good thing we don't have Easter!!!

Super girly, super easy-to-find, super hard-to-read K from Acapulco is in Tokyo! We're going to hang out tomorrow night after I get off work and she takes a break from shopping.

5:46pm JST

Earlier today, I noticed the IHT news items were out of sync on Gmail's Web Clips

Right now on gmail Web Clip bar, I see a news item from IHT:

International Herald Tribune - World News, Analysis, and Global Opinions - 2 divergent McCain moments, rarely mentioned

The title of the article is "2 divergent McCain moments..." but the URL linked goes to a completely different story: "Clinton backer points to Electoral College votes as new measure"

It only happens for the IHT stories.

It looks like something is being misparsed, but from here, I can't tell if it's google misparsing an IHT RSS feed, or if IHT has a faulty RSS feed.

I love how cleanly the water shoves the house through its vertical trim.

i group

8:45pm JST Monday 24 March 2008 (day 13879)

Today's I-group was a line segment instead of a circle. Only Dave and I attended. Had a good chat and talked about real issues, so that was good (as expected).
