I think my favorite happy hour is still Rasputin's $2 Stoli and Free Caviar Night. Though you have to be right there when the caviar comes out to get any.
And I don't even like caviar, I just like the idea of someone giving it away free.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

A nice rare steak, perhaps, with a dollop of pâté fois gras covered in bacon?
Mmmmmmm. I just got back from a fairly decent sushi lunch. Reading this shouldn't make me hungry.
And yet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Morton's is very old school steakhouse, all about the seared meat, the crisp white tablecloths and the attentive wait staff.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Porn star -- you so rarely hear "porn actor" -- seems like stars are a dime a dozen. Why's that?
Who acts in porn? There's your answer, right there.
ION, I hate getting research projects with a short deadline, feeling like a failure when you don't find anything, and hearing, "yeah, didn't think there was anything to find, just wanted to make sure!" This one time everyone conspired not to tell me that four people had researched the same topic for a week, just so I wouldn't go into it thinking there was nothing to find.

I've been to the one in Boston for lunch. Fork-tender filet mignon. Mmmmm, that's good cow.
On a related note, I sat there horrified as person after person I was with ordered their steaks and filets medium-well to well. shudder I can't even go medium on a REALLY good steak. I can't really do rare either, but a good, medium-rare steak or filet? Homer drool noise!!!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Who acts in porn?
Very good point.

Fresh eyes! Fresh eyes! Time-tested thinking, here.
Okay -- at least ten more minutes before I can consider heating up my paltry lunch.

That's kinda evil, bon.
I've run across a project here that has me snarling. I have to stay all vague about it for various reasons, but...SNARL. It's a big fuckyou-type thing.
Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This reminds me that apparently a friend of mine came across some pornographic pictures of a hot classmate on the internet, and he's never sent them to me!!

Why is rare stake called "rare"? "well done" is relatively self-explanatory, but I don't understand how "rare" = "closer to the uncooked end of the scale than the well-cooked end."

Oh, I freakin' hate projects like that. Not shockingly, they go on in the web/IT world, too. "See if you can get X to do Y."
It's almost always with an unsupported in house tool, and it's always wishful "maybe if one more person tries" thinking from the manager.
