Dear self,

Thanks - self.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Hmm. Framing that penultimate sentence made me wonder--how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb? As in, to replace "I hope" in the sentence under consideration. Bad? Inevitable? With precedent?As others have said, wrong but I do it anyway. Our grammar faux pas will set precedent for the future, hopefully becoming accepted.

Heh, watching Colbert this morning while I ate breakfast, and The Word was onMPREG. Seriously. Nearly spit out my Kashi.
Not only that, he mentioned butt babies!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
"Hopefully" is not at all wrong. Like split infinitives, it's just something that a generation of commentators got their panties in a wad about.

2. Add a Tablespoon or two of miso paste
I love how this presupposes that own miso paste or even know where to find it in the grocery store. And dashi stock? Hm. I'll investigate my local place, but I may need to make a trip to Whole Foods.

No stressballs!
I'm being sucked further down an information loop. OK, so 3 years ago, this project, C, asks us to store their data. There's precedent, so we do. Project C has since picked up steam and become a reality and is teaming with us, as planned. Except now they are coming to us and asking us "Um, that data? What is it?" How the hell should we know? You're the source! The local partners don't know either, because they are at stage 11million and this stuff was from stage -18. Dudes. No wonder our garage counter doesn't work.

GC, your gf's company is in for a good smiting.
I have what seems to be a small tree behind my car. I would have Mr. Jane slice it and move it, but we have no power (I'm on the laptop).

To the woman who was sitting sideways in her bus seat and thus squishing me: is your ass broken? do you have some debilitating tailbone cancer? is there some medical reason why you can't sit in your seat like a normal person?
To the woman who always puts makeup on while sitting next to me: you have no idea how much I want to jostle your elbow. omgwtf, I hate getting up early and even I manage to put makeup on before getting to the bus.
Who needs extra hate today? I seem to have plenty.

Heh.
If you can't find it at the grocery (it would be refrigerated), you can find it at most Asian markets. In comes in several varieties, but really all you need to know is that the color of the paste reflects the intensity of the flavor. I prefer the darker stuff myself. It will keep in the fridge for ages, so it's good stuff to have on hand.
