It's Friday, You Bastards
I did something completely new this week. Most of you probably do this all the time but it was the very first time ever for me. And a lot of you call me lazy because of it but that's just a cheap excuse to hang a totally inaccurate label on me and you will no longer be able to do that anymore. At least not for this reason.

You might still say that I rely on my staff too much for every little thing that I should be doing for myself....you'll still be wrong but that's never stopped you before...but you can't say that I use Miss Bunni, my Chief Executive Vice President In Charge Of Other Worldly Affairs and Head Astrologer too much because I gave her this week off. That's right, no one parted the veil between the living and the dead for me. And no, I didn't try to part it myself because Suzette said that if I ever again infested the house with extra dimensional pests that slayers can't even get rid, of she'd...well, it's not important what she said she'd do. That would work better at the Halloween party anyway. And for the record, she totally overreacted to that minor incident because it didn't take "forever plus eternity" to solve the problem. It only took fourteen months and if it ever happens to you, just break out the multi-dimensional flame throwers right away and it'll only take six months.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get sidetracked there with Suzette's whining, crying and complaining about every little minor thing that happens. To get back on track, when I decided who I wanted at tonight's party from the other side, I also decided that I would use my time machine and visit each of them at a time when they were living and invite them to come as their living selves via time travel.

And that's what I did and it worked beautifully. They all said yes. And there is even an advantage to this. Dead people keep all their memories but like the living, they tend to forget things but when you visit them when they are still alive and in their prime...dead people usually choose to appear as they did in their prime but that's just cosmetic, their minds are still as old as they were when they died and if they don't Google themselves first and refresh their memories, you're oftentimes better off talking to your milkman if you want accurate stories...they remember all the really exciting things much better.

The theme tonight is Science And Science Fiction and the lineup includes Kurt Vonnegut, Gene Roddenberry, Rod Serling, H. G. Wells, Orson Welles, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, Carl Sagan, Albert Einstein, Madame Curie...I wish I could list them all but there's just not enough time.

The weekend is only forty-eight hours long and it will be faster if you just come inside and see for yourself who's here. And Fifi wants you to try the drink she invented for tonight:

Or, if you're like me and really don't like terrible tasting drinks with really cool names, just have lots of beer. And make sure you say hi to Richard C. Hoagland. He should be here any minute now. I don't know why he's not here yet. I know he must want to see Gene again and I want to tell him how it's OK that my invitation to his party last week on Mars got lost. I hope he got his invitation, I mailed it really early.
