I accidentally took a stretch limo to work today.

That's a neat trick.

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

I just got the sweetest email from the guy I met at my cousin's wedding this past weekend. Total ego boost. Yay!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I accidentally took a 1986 Chrysler to work today. Or rather, not accidentally, since it's my car, but maybe if I say it was an accident, it'll go away and not happen again.

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

That's a neat trick.

I thought so too. I called a cab, since I had to leave my car here yesterday, and a stretch limo showed up. I guess they don't have a lot of call for stretch limos in Belmont, so the driver moonlights as a cab driver.

eta: Yay Kate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

“overseeing the emergence services division”

So is this a typo from the report or his resume?

It seems like what would make sense is all students get paid X per hour. If they can get workstudy students, they can get three. If not, they can get one. I mean, right?

That's how it worked at my old U.

Wow. So... some karmic balance for yesterday?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Nutty!!!!

Perkins, that is the way to go to work.

If I only had a brain...

when she'd baked Banana Bread, it was taken away from the kids, and they weren't allowed to eat it.

My Mom, who used to be Assistant Superintendent, says nowadays they aren't supposed to allow home-cooked food of any kind, because they can't certify the cleanliness of Mom's kitchen or which ingredients she used. Only pre-packaged food is allowed, because it comes from an inspected and Health-Board-certified kitchen AND has an ingredient list.

Wow. I guess it makes sense. But seems weird at the same time.
