I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got chocolates from David! That was nice.

Oh well. I'll just have to be sure to not forget to send the Shark Week cards....

And don't forget Yak Shaving Day.

Coding and Sleeping

I want a pretty boy to send me pretty flowers and tell me I'm pretty. I believe the hype.

Well, I'm not pretty, but I've seen pictures and you are pretty and funny and a lot of fun to have around here. I didn't send any flowers though, my wife probably wouldn't approve.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

the hostess sort of pulled me aside and said, "you know, hon, he really should've done a better job of planning." Umm, hello? Entire universe not about stupid couple-behavior guilt?

Did You talk to the manager? It is not the hostesses job to scold you. Ever. or make assumptions.

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

No not this year, couple years ago.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Awww, thanks, Gud.

Every year, I get a Djibouti Day card from a friend. Cracks me up every time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I want a pretty boy to send me pretty flowers and tell me I'm pretty.

Hell, who needs V-Day? Those years when I was single in my 30s, I wanted this ALL THE TIME.

Hey grammar-types: Did any of you see the Chicago Tribune Magazine article on grammar this weekend? Worth a quick read.
