Our IT group's intranet page has a link for you to "download hardcopy" of something or other.

Neat trick if they can do it, but it was my understanding that IT people laughed at people who do things like 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.

Vacuum tubes!

eta: Or, you know, those tubes that suck messages through them....

Okay, so I'm trying to troubleshoot this thing? And when I try to add an order number, it says it already exists. When I try to modify the order number, it says it doesn't exist. Conundrum!

I think I shall go smoke now before I try to reach through my computer monitor and rend things with my bare hands.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

1860 made me raise an eyebrow too. I didn't know they changed it. I was a National Merit Scholar at 1550? 1560? 1580? Something. I had perfect on Language section and I missed either one or two on the math section.

Weather just turned nast. I'm going to see the pirate movie after work with Mr. Jane. We have a date!

Also, apparently a group of girls who mostly hang out with my best friend, but who I know well enough have decided Happy Hour at the Grapevine should be a Friday ritual. It's officially a thing as of tomorrow when my best friend won't be there. I get to hostess and get a whole new group of friends! Yay!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'd love to see a beer-can Buddha. The sacred is in every ordinary thing; what better way to demonstrate that than by creating things that reflect the sacred out of the commonest and most base objects.

There's a famous series of paintings depicting one man's development through buddhism that starts with him being a lush and wandering of to town with a wineskin slung over his shoulder. He goes through several stages of study and enlightenment which I don't really remember and end up in the last picture going off to town with a wineskin slung over his shoulder because the last step is continuing to live in the world with your enlightenment not making a big bubble around you.

Way to go K-Bug!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

K-Bug is supposed to get detailed score information in the mail soon. She also just took 3 AP tests, not sure when those results come in. Next week she takes her SAT Subject tests.

I don't even remember my own SAT score.

All this new-fangled SAT stuff is bizarre-o.

Unrelatedly, does bitters need to be refrigerated?
