All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Punishingly Intricate

Kristin, I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A woman walking in front of me took a nasty tumble on an ice patch and fell right on her ass.

I took very careful steps this weekend. I did not want to have A Story told about how I fell on my ass.

The funny thing about Ash Wednesday is the instinctive response you have to tell someone that there's something on their forehead, before you remember that it's there on purpose. The two years I spent at a Catholic grad school were particularly trying.

Dana, were you there for my spectacular slip on the ice at the 2005 Connexions curling expedition? I understand it was a textbook-perfect "slip on a banana peel and go flying" sort of maneuver, though I wasn't in a position to either see or enjoy it.

No, I've never been to Connexions. Or curling. I don't really think I need to try any sport that involves walking on ice. It would not end well.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Hmm, things I'm not going to say today but want to:

"(company name), this is Joe, stop calling."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It always takes me a few minutes in the morning to process "Smudgy foreheads...ashes...Wednesday...Ash Wednesday!" and then a few more before I remember that Ash Wednesday is the day after Fat Tuesday, and always has been. But somehow, I can never remember in advance from one year to the next.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dagnabbit, the Diet Coke I just bought is flat. I hate that!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dagnabbit, the Diet Coke I just bought is flat. I hate that!

How does that happen? Evil gnomes sneaking into stockrooms and opening up soda containers?

Well, now I'm afraid it was Tampered With, since it was sitting by itself in front of several lined-up rows of bottles.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Jesse, you're gonna DIE!
