Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

What the hell is Chud? I see this from time to time and I have no clue.

Went out to lunch. Food coma. Inability to deal with the internets. Need nap.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm jealous, sarameg. I need a nap, but I haven't the benefit of a food coma. I guess I should probably scare up some lunch. Indian or an egg salad sammich?

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

Cinematic Happenings Under Development.

Great. I got invited to a crapload of meetings last night, and one of them was while I was at the doctor's this morning. It's going on now, and I tried to dial in, but they haven't. It's too late to go over, since it ends at noon, but now it looks like I'm slacking on a project I've just been assigned to.

I hate all this doctor crap, I really do.

Silence means security silence means approval

Hey Allyson, where be the website featuring the writings you made up? I think I missed it in the flotsam and jetsam of the last 500 posts.

Oh, Jamaica's getting wet, but my parents are okay. Dry and safe and without property damage, although the same can't be said of the whole island. Casualties are low, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I swear to g*d, I just tried to map the area where I work to the nearest jamba juice (in tribeca, I think) and this is what I got:

[link]

first, turn around and go straight to brooklyn...

If this link doesn't work-- it's like 12 lines long-- I'll delete this post.

ETA: It doesn't work unless one manually adds the = to the end of the url. Odd.

bon, the link just gives an error message. (Edit: And know I know why.)

Tribeca to Brooklyn--I love online mapping services. They're an endless source of amusement.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Emmett went to school despite waking up coughing. He stopped hacking after he had some tea and had no fever, so heartless Dad dropped him off at school.

JZ's co-workers let her work pile up in her absence - and she helps everybody in that unit and the clinic and elsewhere (above and beyond her duties). Weaselfuckers.

I hate work. I want to be somewhere else.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I hate work. I want to be somewhere else.

Can I come?

(They want this thing done by November 7th! November 7th! The system doesn't even work yet! How can I document it if it doesn't work?!?)

Absolutely. Let's swing by and collect shrift then go Elsewhere.
