Ann, that's a ferret.

Also at work today. Will be at work Friday. I'm told that I may be the only person in the division who will be here on Friday.

Me in charge -- a scary thought, even if it is likely to be the quietest day of the year.

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

Ruby will be fine, Allyson, and love you forever once you get back (except for a possible I hate you period which will last about 5 minutes).

Bizarrely, I am ahead of schedule. My suuitcase is in my car, everything else is ready, and I don't have to leave for about 20 minutes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I can't believe I have to leave before Ellen gets to New York's smallest apartments,

OMG can someone tape this for me? This. Sounds. Awesome. (and I bet mine is smaller)

Aw, Burrell, I wish i had time to get my key to you. My tub is clean, I got a supply of LUSH, you could take a kid vacation and have a bubble bath at my place for the price of giving my kitty fresh water.

hmmm....

Allyson, do you have a trusted shop-keeper in the neighborhood you could leave an envelope with? Or is that just a New York thing?

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

The bubble bath would have been bonus.

What's up with your neighbor not coming home anyway? I have a vague memory of a life when that sort of thing happened, crashed on a friend's couch, etc. But it's been a long time.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

What's on that list?

It's a mix of comedy, angry, soothing, and happy songs. For example:

Deftones, "Lucky You"
OK Go, "It's a Disaster"
David Bowie, "Rebel Rebel"
Morphine, "Sharks"
Pixies, "Something Against You"
They Might Be Giants, "Particle Man"
Of Montreal, "Chrissie Kiss The Corpse"
Moxy Früvous, "My Baby Loves a Bunch of Authors"
The Gaskets, "This Is Your Proverbial Life"
Seether, "Fuck It"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

All you Dallas haters make me sad.

Not my fault. I'm a Saints fan.

Oh. My. GAWDS! The little 5 yr. old of one of the DJs at the radio station came in my office, as she often does. She asked me when my birthday was, and I told her Saturday, November 26, and of course she asked how old I'll be, and I told her 30 and that I'm 29 right now, and she's all ""and then you'll be 31, and 32, 33, 34, 35 and pretty soon you'll be 100!"

I'd have strangled her if she weren't adorable.

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?

I'm a work and really don't want to be. Our office closes at 12:30, but I won't be leaving until 2 because I have class at 3 and there's absolutely not point in going home before class (it's in the wrong direction).

And, it snowed last night!

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

Allyson, do you have a trusted shop-keeper in the neighborhood you could leave an envelope with? Or is that just a New York thing?

Oh hells yeah. My corner liquor store is rocking at that sort of thing. But I'm leaving, and I think Ruby will be okay. Tim talked me off the ledge.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Tim talked me off the ledge.

Well, it's nice to know he doesn't always shove those we love off of it.

Ruby will be fine.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Here's a kind of crazy story, especially after last night's Bones: [link]
