Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

There is much goodness besides the Ryan Reynoldsy variety.

I don't remember the much. I mean, it's pleasant enough, but (Plei! back me up!) Dr. Berg is the only thing that made it worth me tuning in.

And he's just in it for the Ryan -- he agrees that the show's not good.

That's a lot of co-workers.

I'm saying.

Did you get the photo I e-mailed?

Oh, and Ali, where are you looking for a job?

Baby cute!

So, let's say I had a right triangle, with angles of 60 and 30 degrees, and the side between the right angle and the 30 degree angle has a length of 4. How long is the side between the right angle and the 60-degree angle? Please show your work.

Did you get the photo I e-mailed?

Yes! Thank you so much! Actually, replying to your email was on my to-do list. And I wanted to send one to your sister, too. That was awesome. Every single person sitting at the table was from a different country, and there were six of us, and the Irish girl had a story about a big gay uncle Walter, or something like that, which reminded M. of a relative of yours that I was supposed to ask about, but I no longer remember what I was going to ask. Darn it. Want to share a relative story, anyway?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No, I'm sorry. That came off harsher (in the sense that, it really didn't bother me as much as my reaction made it seem) than necessary, due to crazy cross-posting.

No worries. I just felt bad with the xpost. I was all "LIFE SUCKS!!!!" and you were all "tell me something nice?"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So, let's say I had a right triangle, with angles of 60 and 30 degrees, and the side between the right angle and the 30 degree angle has a length of 4. How long is the side between the right angle and the 60-degree angle? Please show your work.

The sides of a 30-60-90 right triangle are x, 2x, and x times the square root of a 3 (where the side is opposite the angle). The side between the 90 and 30 is therefore across from the 60. 2x=4, so x=2. Between the 90 and 60 is the side opposite the 30, which is x long and therefore 2.

It was never publically confirmed that our uncle Walter was gay, despite well, many many indications including the well-manicured home in the hills of San Francisco with the orchids that didn't survive the toddlerhood of his first child. Spurious, spurious, and well at least his older daughter's proudly out of the closet, even though her mother doesn't talk about it much.

In fact, if you wander around the USC campus yelling the names of old school black supermodels, her sister may answer and you can get it all from the horse's mouth. Just don't mention the gay uncle thing unless she brings it up.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Hi peeps!

And someone to come over and hold my hand and tell me that making the transition from student to functioning adult is not as difficult as it seems, that there are pretty apartments in safe areas that are affordable, and that I will own that pink kitchenaid stand mixer one day soon. Any volunteers?

Um, the transition is definitely not as bad as it seems. For one thing, "functioning adult" has a pretty fuzzy definition. Look at me.

WRT the apartment, find yourself a good roommate. Or two. As for the kitchenaid, you are on your own. I've been asking the husband for a pink kitchenaid for YEARS now.

Speaking of the husband, he's on his way here with Franny. I'm so delighted to have him bring her to the office.

Alibelle, thank you for the muffin yesterday! It dietarily made my day.

I need a haircut and a facial and to work out more.

Also, I'm ready to scream about stooopid LJ.
