Oh, I love moments like that, tommyrot. (Rare though they are for me.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The more the men talked up "Crash" and its wizardry with interlocking plots about race, the less exciting this year's Oscar celebration came to seem. Serious movie people trying to inject themselves into that glorious narcissist's bacchanal just doesn't work. It's better to cede the laurels to the sexiest spray-tanned people alive; it's their night.
Touche, New York Times.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love that David Carr is all over the Oscars. I love David Carr!

I would like them to remember that when I say "regular tea latte in a large cup" I want extra space not extra milk, but other than that...back off the familiarity.
Lately, I usually order a grande (can we call a medium a medium, please?) Earl Grey tea, with two teabags, only steep one of them, please.
At least 50% of the time, I have to explain what "steep" means. At least 50% of the rest of the time I have to stop the person from putting the second teabag in the water because, while they didn't understand the word "steep," they were good with that and required no clarification.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, flea. That sounds messy and complicated and really the kind of thing your mom should have just thought about and never actually said (I do feel oddly protective of the name Toby, as it's the name of one of my most beloved cats, but your history with the name sounds infinitely more complicated and less beloving). That's really an email your mom really should have written and just never sent. Not sure which is worse, that she sent it at all or that she sent it to all three of you.
ICompletelyON, Stephen Colbert was brilliant as usual last night. "Those cowboys sure admired each other's pistols!" Slashtastically delicious.

Quite often, I tell them to put the teabag in the cup first, and then the water, which they then proceed to completely ignore.

Talk about living dangerously. People take their tea seriously. Somebody could lose an arm that way.

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
My one doorman has started close-talking. And today held me up as I was trying to LEAVE FOR WORK (you know those conversations you can't extract yourself from without feeling rude? and to someone you'll see every day?)
I may need to invent a boyfriend.

My email seems to be backed up by 2.5 hours. Which is annoying enough, but spam is still being delivered (to a trashbox) efficiently.
Per usual, not a peep from IT about the problem.
