I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Happy Anniversary Jessica and Fone Bone!

I feel like 80% of everything is always done by 20% of people.

Pareto in a nutshell. I think I had that in three different courses in B-school. 20 % of the population has 80% of the money. 20% of product line makes 80% of profits. 20% of production is responsible for 80% of defects.

We used the Magic Eraser to clean up our old apartment when we moved. It is magic!

I spent this morning at the OMV (it's the same as the DMV, but we gotta be different)so I didn't get to work until 1. What I have done today at work:

  • opened everything in my inbox and transferred it to my boss's inbox except for teh sheaf of water bills that I throw away every month
  • ansered one phone call. No message.
  • Downloaded GoogleTalk and discovered it can't connect to anything

I've used the magic eraser to clean up walls that have been Leifed. It's very effective.

Huh. In my experience, you get a D for staying mostly awake and not being rude to the teacher. If you can actually do stuff, you get a B! But my standards may have been lowered a bit. Have to work on that.

Okay, so I spent 45 on a bus ride that's supposed to take a half hour or under (and which was 15 minutes late). Most of that time was in front of a man with a distinct odor. And now I can't stop smelling it. I don't know if the smell just got stuck in my nose, or if it got on my clothes somehow. And... ewwww.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I have spent much of the day reading Lulu Eightball, which is awesome. Another one for the Buffistas: [link]

Now that's a testimonial.

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

Happy Birthday Polgara!!!

Er, Fauré's Requiem doesn't contain the Dies Irae.

(How incredibly geeky do I feel now? And this isn't even my field of geekdom!)

one school of French composers (led by Fauré) omitted the Dies iræ

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

Happy Birthday Polgara!!!

Er, Faure's Requiem doesn't contain the Dies Irae.

Also, I don't think season 5 would rate "Marry Me". Maybe season 2,3, or perhaps 4.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'm cracking up at "Sledgehammer."
