Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

Bureaucracy 1: Like Kafka, Only Funnier  

A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Thoroughly mollified now that my offering has found favor with Pixies fans everywhere.

New tag, in honor of the Pixies, since Monkey's dead (and gone to Heaven). Illustrates both my Pixies love and my current state of mind.

Natter Elevenses--"Let's all get ripped and eat sweets!"

I like it.

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

I like the Natter 11 title, but do we need the quotation marks?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Thanks Hil. I thought we were going with "It's time for elevenses", but at least we get the elevenses in there.

Damn you midnight thread renamers what renames at midnight. ;)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I swear to god, my husband is on the phone with me, talking about a situation that has arisen with his work. The topic involves preferential voting.

I can't start shrieking, because he won't understand.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Is it ok if I giggle?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I almost pulled out, "Well, you know it's how the Australians do it." Almost.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Dana, a social group here at the office tried to pull out that stuff a couple weeks ago, in the thick of the argument here.

To decide where we should eat lunch.

I screamed (in a cute non-serious way). Jilli got it.
