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

Happy birthday, Megan E!

Happy anniversary to the Zmayhems.

I hate it when a voicemail comes in just moments after I duck out a hair early because I'm feeling under the weather. I guess I should either learn how to check it from home, or how to stop feeling guilty and self-conscious. Both seem equally momentous right now.

On the other hand it is pleasant when work disappears itself off your plate. I'm slowly getting the hang of that around here. Problem is, it also appears itself onto your plate. You just have to be wary.

Allyson, I just noticed that there is a Blooker (har de har har) prize for books based on blogs. So you should totally blog in advance for your next book to make yourself eligible for the $10K.

How to Tie the 10 Most Useful Knots

But I don't know what they're useful for! Boat, bondage, ad hoc sails, ad hoc sailors...it makes all the difference in the world.

Punishingly Intricate

Why did Gingrich leave?

I wasn't really listening so I'm not sure. I think he just said he had another obligation even though he'd told her producers he'd be available for the whole hour. He conveniently left before she opened the phones.

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

He conveniently left before she opened the phones.

Wanker.

Does Whoopi Goldberg have a radio show? This morning I was listening to a talk show, and it sounded like Whoopi Goldberg. She said they'd be having Gingrich on later that morning.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Megan!

Happy Anniversary to Hec and JZ!

Woke up this morning to find my left eye completely bloodshot, and the upper lid puffed up. Saw an opthamologist(not the guy I'd seen before, since he was out of the office, but someone recommended by the first guy's office) and found out I have pinkeye. Is it any wonder I went home after getting my prescription filled, rather than going back to work?

Oh, and the cold is still here.

I have pinkeye

Oh ick! That's nasty. Sorry to hear that.

Given how contagious it is, your co-workers will probably thank you.

oh yes. I was just thinking 'shit! I just saw her on Friday, hope I don't get it" (in which case, I'll start calling you Typhoid Sheryl :) )

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Can you believe that when they got married, only three years (already three years?) ago, there was no Matilda in the world?

Boggling isn't it? Thanks for the well wishing. We were remembering the wedding this morning and how pretty all the attending Buffistas were and what fun we had. And then we missed New Orleans again.

Hey, now. If Sheryl's ailing, she's no Typhoid Anyone. Typhoid Mary never fell ill.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Birthday and Anniversary felicitations for Megan and the Zmayhems. Take one and pass it on.

Solar System Sails Sideways Through Milky Way

I think every bad thing can be blamed on this....

I'm gonna use this to explain why my hair wants to flip sideways (one side in, the other side out).

Hahahahahaha. Our building's pump system is down, and none of the toilets are flushing. At some point I'll have to wander the streets of Chicago looking for somewhere to pee.
