One of my places-to-be does involve medical treatment, so there's that.
I came into the office every single day this week. First time in a couple months, pathetically.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

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

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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Someone tell me to stop reading coverage of Michael Brown's testimony, since there is nothing convenient to hit here at the office.

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
Whoops. CEO's assistant just forwarded to me and my boss an email from a client to CEO explaining a project we need to write up for him. And somehow neglected to delete this little gem from the closing of the email:
Don't much like being yelled at even if you consider it a virtue. m.
Ouch. Not many of his clients' who'd dare go that far even.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Dana, this probably won't help: Now Iraqi women can be STONED to DEATH for adultery! Thank BUSH!

Try this instead -- New Yorker interview with a fortune cookie writer (from last year):
At first, the writing came easily. Finding inspiration in sources ranging from the I Ching to the Post, Lau cranked out three or four maxims a day, between scrutinizing spreadsheets and monitoring the company’s inventory of chow mein. “I’d be on the subway and look up at the signs and think, Hey, that would make a great fortune,” he said. (One such adage: “Beware of odors from unfamiliar sources.”)

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
hair appt. and mani/pedi are booked.
Doing things like this doesn't seem like effort to me. My day will look like this:
10am wake up
11:30 leave the house (read on subway)
12:45 hair appt.
2:00 lunch at diner then subway downtown
3:00 mani/pedi
5:00 go see Capote (just decided)
7:00 meet brother
The longest I have to walk is an avenue and a half, and most of the day will be sitting and relaxing.

How on early do you open a two-liter of pop that refuses to budge when confronted with pliers?
