Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

just programmed a Hunter/Mauler class Alpha Level Cyborg Zombie

You have to enter the commands in debug mode or it will just end up defaulting to base decapitation behavior.

Our wings are not tired.

For Kat, maybe not so great with the boots, but Hunter Green.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I didn't see that in the manual! Where is that?

Oh. "Troubleshooting....my Hunter/Mauler class Alpha Level Cyborg Zombie keeps decapitating the UPS guy."

And I didn't say what he was doing to the neck stump. Turns out he was jamming Jelly Bellies in there. Which is weird...but even weirder when you consider that I didn't have any Jelly Bellies lying around. Where did Hunter/Mauler class Alpha Level Cyborg Zombie get Jelly Bellies?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

That Esquire article is brilliant, but also infuriating.

Well, at the very least, the author uses "arrant" correctly in a sentence. And who can be sad about that??

I'll get back to you when I've finished the article -- I do find a certain amount of it a little fishy. Just because people are morons doesn't mean that the Enlightenment will go out instantly.

In other news, is there a polite way to tell a boss-like person that she is treating you like a child, and should stop it? Because, yeah.

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

Why in god's name does Saks think that bra goes with that dress? Which reminds me -- I need some sort of strapless bra wonder if I'm going to wear the silver dress to the krav holiday party.

I got the debug mode tip from rulerofall231 at the World Domination forum.

Today has been the world's longest day. I am basically sitting around to be on call for the desk. Then I work on the desk, my boss flits by and tells me to go away, SHE wants to work on the desk. Then 10 minutes later, she calls me and asks me to work on the desk in 10 minutes so she can go to another event. (We're dedicating the new building today. It's all academic pomposity and the kissing of wealthy behinds.)

Because a $228 bra goes with anything?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Har, Laura. Pretty much what I was thinking.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hate the stressy thing too, msbelle, especially the creeps-up-on-you stressy thing.

I am so braindead that I can't prioritize what I need to do this afternoon. Sigh. Didn't get the coffee, at least not yet. Lunch was a higher priority.
