Rome ages 200 years as archaeologists discover new remains

I so very much want to go.

Screw prom. I'm all about 420.

The last time I went to prom was 2001. And it was a disaster. I've got the dress, I've got the date, is there anything I need to be aware of? With how different things are in this decade, I'm assuming prom has changed as well.

So.... this prom that's happening. Would it be considered lame to go alone? I don't have a date but it sounds really fun.

For open discussion, given the season and the estimable tenor of hysteria in this known world:

Last night heralded the beginning of the Jewish holy time known as Passover, in which it is commemorated that while in Egypt, the Death Angel passed over the houses of the faithful who painted their lintels with lambs' blood.

Last night also heralded the first lunar eclipse in a series known as the tetrad; of which several lunar eclipses shall follow. The next is scheduled for 8 October. Further, last night's eclipse was - as the word goes - a 'blood moon'.

Fundamentalist evangelizer John Hagee purports that such signs herald the End of Days. He points to the timing of said tetrad, and the timing of the last which occured during the Six Day War in 1967. Acts 2:19 - "And I will show wonders in Heaven above and signs in the Earth beneath, the sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord."

Text to Teddy:

>> Are you busy?
>> I don't mean to be a bother, you're just the closest thing to a real friend I have here.
>> Other than Professor K, I mean.
>> But it's kinda weird calling your teacher a close friend.

Um, so we have a cat now. Or I have a cat. Or he chose me. I'm not sure how it works. Anyways, ( picture )
That's EM, El Magnifico. He was Willow's cat / pet / familiar - whatever that means and when I came back from patrol last night he was on my bed with Tesla. I'm hoping he and Vern will get along, but if not, we'll figure something out.

I tried locking him outside, but he just kept appearing in my room. So yeah.

[Warded to Buffy & Dawn]

Um, so, EM seems to have taken up residence in my room. I tried to convince him otherwise, but making cats listen isn't one of my powers. I'll be happy to bring him by for visits if you want or something. Or you can come by and visit. Either way. He seems happy.

Well, I've just re-discovered Fentiman's Mandarin and Seville Orange Jigger. And it's as delicious as it was in 1957. Not that I'm about to harsh on High Fructose Corn Syrup, but my God it's nice to find something without it.

FILTERED TO PHIL COULSON:

Guess who I've got my eye on right now.

FILTERED TO MELINDA MAY:

Wishing you were in town for a little bit of target practice. AKA gossip time. Forgot how lonely New York City is sometimes.

LEAH CLEARWATER & ERIN SHEPARD:

So, where to?

CAROL DANVERS:

I still owe you dinner, huh?

[Tony Stark 616]

Hey, Tony.

You working on anything?

Sully mentioned the ranch a few weeks ago and I wanted to extend the invitation to folks again. Serenity ranch is 45 minutes outside of the city. It's a great place to come to get some horseback riding, hiking, woodworking, tinkering. We've got a few outbuildings that can be made to be workshops if folks need and an old helicopter that is almost flight worthy. If you ned time away from the city, want space to work on projects or just want to see the stars for a night, there's usually space. Just talk to Sully or me.

We're looking for a few people to get involved hopefully, to make sure that the ranch stays in refugee hands as sort of a retreat and sanctuary for those who need it.


[Starfleet]

It seems we've lost more of our own - Deanna and Archer. Would people be interested in a group dinner tonight or tomorrow? I- It's hard losing this many people.

[Filtered to Tony Stark & James Rhodes]

I mean, I don't want to retroactively back-seat pilot.

But we could have gotten here an like an hour sooner if someone wasn't so touchy about taking shortcuts over no-fly zones.

Filter: Jack and Ianto Harkness-Jones

I'm officially hiring the two of you to help search for the perfect prom dress.

Filter: Doctor (Tenth)

Is it mad for me to consider enrolling into a University in the Fall? Mind you, I have no idea what I want to study. Don't think I could find a place suitable for me in SHIELD, thought bits of it does remind me of home. What do you think?

Hermione's gone.

@ DAD & KATE

Did you guys get a text, too?

Is Grandma really gone?

I knew the Tesseract could send people back. Obviously, I knew that. I just- it wasn't supposed to be anyone I knew.

Some of these inventions are sort of ridiculously brilliant. That Bounce Imaging Explorer could be useful in a lot of situations, actually.

This Google Glass, on the other hand, is a little creepy. It's not earpieces, but it reminds me a little too much of certain events on that parallel Earth I was on with Rose and the Doctor. A real-time GPS, a videocamera, an Internet browser that you wear on your face? Yeah, I think I'll pass on that one. Just seems like a bad idea to me.

@ WHOVERSE

So, this prom I keep hearing about. I guess it's not just for the kids. Are any of you lot going?

All this talk of prom brings back some memories.

@ BUFFY

So, were you actually gonna tell me?

Seriously.....what the actual hell. I'm going to kick somebody's ass for messing up my documents. I don't even care if you thought it was a harmless prank...you don't mess with my column. I swear sometimes I work with dicks!!

By the way, did anybody notice the blood moon last night? It was kind of awesome.

Nothing like sipping wine with your girlfriend and watching the Lunar Eclipse together. It was really romantic and the blood moon was amazing to look at.

Shale of House Cadash has returned to Thedas through the tesseract.

As much as I will miss her sparkling company I am assured in the fact that she is far happier to return to life as a golem. And that this world's bird population is now far safer than when Shale was about.
