Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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

I just got a sweet raise and a big honkin' bonus!!!!

Huh. So. Jobma no longer needed. New company wants to pay me more, give me better benefits, and compensate me for any overtime despite being an Actual Employee.

I start Monday. Meep.

Our wings are not tired

Thanks everyone for the ~ma last week before I lectured at Yale. The two days went very well, they were very happy and it looks like they will have me back every year or two for another workshop.

Nobody

My email is not letting me in. Then it lets me in, and times out right away, and then doesn't let me back in.

If anyone needs me--YELL, REALLY LOUDLY!

Are you ready to be strong?

I'm sorry I haven't been around making out with everyone as my duties clearly outline, but my new job is keeping me so fucking busy. (This Monday I worked 14 hours, and 16 hours on Tuesday.) So in case you miss me AND I KNOW YOU DO, that's why. I haven't abandoned you fuckos! If you need to reach me, email me at (my real first name) at earthlink dot net.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Well, I'm off on vacation. I'll be dark until the 5th or 6th of October.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

My sister just called to tell me that my aunt Nan died tonight. She was my godmother, and my closest relative apart from my parents and siblings. My mom is a wreck.
