It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh yuck, Nilly. Colds suck. And even with a bad cold, it's hard to tell what's bad enough to take sick time. I hate that.

In Jesse Watches Morning TV news, is it wrong that I really like the Kelly Clarkson song? Although I don't like her blonde hair.

Yeah, Jesse, my sister said that I looked more miserable than she could ever remember me, and one of the girls in a class I take (not TA, thankfully) came up after the lesson to ask me if I'm OK, because I looked so bad during the class. And I'm relatively OK, just, well, 4 packages of tissues since Friday.

It almost feels like (whitefonted for gross-factor) I wiped my nose so much that I wiped my entire brain out of my head, just like the ancient Egyptians used to to when mummyfy-ing their dead, taking their brains out through their noses. And now my sieve has to start building itself anew .

Nilly, last time I was sick, I was horrified and amazed at the amount of snot the human body can produce so quickly. It was disgusting. Hope you feel better soon.

I don't want to work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The thing about a heroin break is that it's much less helpful, in terms of worker productivity,

But much more helpful, in terms of worker satisfaction.

In the short term, anyway.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Perhaps coincidentally, Kushner founded a company that peddles a soy-based coffee substitute.

I love it when Wired comments with no comment.

Poor Nilly! Poor Susan!

Beware the Ides of March.

Dude, this anti-caffeine crusade is worse than some mere stabbing. It will actually lead to stabbing, and then where will we be?!? Won't somebody think of the children??

Looking worse than you feel is ideal, IMO, because you get the sympathy without feeling quite so bad.

sara, do you want me to write you a note?

Looking worse than you feel is ideal

I'm just thankful that my face did all the fun-cold things after my roommate's wedding, otherwise that's the way I'd look in all the wedding pictures, and, well, that's not really ideal.

Dude, this anti-caffeine crusade is worse than some mere stabbing.

Isn't caffeine the engine of productivity. What will happen to the economy without caffeine? What about customer service? Do you want to call Dell's customer support and her "Brrrraaaaaiiiiiiiinnnns"? Okay, bad example, I doubt Dell's customer support is actually in this country. How about calling IB....okay another bad example. How about calling your state agen....Okay, that might be another bad example. I can't think, I need caffeine.

Not nearly ideal, no.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hope you feel better soon, Nilly,
