I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Happy Birthday Burrell!

Happy Birthday Calli!

I think today was a Monday v. 2.0 instead of Thursday—walked into the office and was greeted with a crisis first thing. Ah well, it's essentially solved now.

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?

um, no. Although now I am thinking that "short stack" could be used for a small penis...

Me, neither. But now I'm imagining fun things with syrup.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I finally got a monitor for my computer (YAY!), but now I can't see my officemate! (BOO.) I guess I could shift it over a little, but that seems counter-productive. Hmmm.

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

You want to see your officemate?

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

Yay for the monitor at least!

Grr. Supershuttle just called and said they would be here in about 20 minutes, which puts them ahead of the already ridicously early pick up time.

At least Jess tells me there is free internet at the Jet Blue terminal.

What, not braving the human blenders with luggage all by yourself?!

I do! We talk a lot.

Annoying. Not as annoying as the time they randomly decided not to pick me up, but annoying nonetheless.

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

Thanks for the birthday wishes everybody! I'm having a lovely and really very lazy birthday. Slept in (gift #1), was awakened by Frances saying, "happy BIRTHday, Nona" over and over again (gift #2). Then there was mostly play, some pancakes, and now it's naptime.

I think we may head over to Bluebird for cupcakes later, although I have been missing Portos a lot.

Belated happy birthdays to Burrell and Calli!

Monday, a guy shilling for Save the Children approached me, and he wasn't a jerk. Yesterday, a different guy shilling for Save the Children physically blocked me from getting to the El entrance and caused me to miss the train pulling into the station.

I wonder what they'll have in store for me today.
