I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Someone entertain me.

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

Me too.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Timelies, all.

I just got back from Maine, which was mostly fun. Went to the beach and went kayaking and went shopping. Ate lots of good food -- for a while there, the only vegetarian options at restaurants in southern Maine were salad, spaghetti with marinara, or grilled cheese, but the past few years they've gotten much more interesting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

From Page Six:

AN after-hours orgy erupted at celebrity chef Mario Batali's Bistro Du Vent last week, resulting in the firing of four staffers, PAGE SIX has learned.

The randy sex romp between an openly bisexual waitress, a male chef, a female manager and a waiter was captured on the West 42nd Street restaurant's surveillance cameras, which feed to a monitor right next to the host's stand.

We're told that the oversexed staffers were boozing it up at the bar after closing when things got physical.

Our snitch, who saw the steamy surveillance footage, says the X-rated action took place "on the bar top, down to the floor, on top of the banquettes — chef on waitress, manager on waiter, waiter on waitress, all four tangled up in one bunch."

But apparently the night porter caught a glimpse of the freaky festivities, and told the incoming dishwashers and busboys that morning on his way out. They, in turn, tattled to the waiters and waitresses, who all crowded around the host stand monitor and watched the orgy unspool, freeze-framing it at points for maximum enjoyment.

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

I kinda got the whole calories conversion thing -- what surprises me is that adding 90 minutes of running moves my weight downwards, and adding, say, five hours of krav doesn't.

There's something that doesn't happen every day. I hope.

move out and draw fire

Lots of alliteration in that orgy article. I assume the four people who got fired are the four who had the sex? Cause unless they weren't supposed to be in the booze, I don't see what harm it caused. Firing the folks who were watching it rather than working I could see.

I assume having sex in a restaurant kitchen is a pretty major health code violation.

It sounds very tiring.
