You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

I just watched an entire disk worth of Sports Night, instead of the one or two I planned on.

I'd say oops, but they were too much fun for that.

I just watched an entire disk worth of Sports Night

For the fifth time?

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

Only second

Or maybe third.

Or something.

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

Sports Night, like a good pair of jeans, just grows more and more comfortable as you break it in. Eventually, even the weird little holes and flaws you notice are regarded with affection, for they give the things character.

100g "Rorinen" or "Ronnen" or something like that.

Hil, this must be Rosinen - raisins. Though putting them in a Berliner is news to me; here, Berliners are jam-filled doughnuts.

Did you see my earlier post that I told you the wrong measurements?

I'd love to see some of the recipes once you've finished transcribing them, they sound fantastic.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

That meal does sound incredible shrift.

Reminds me that one of the nice (but not THAT nice) places here allows you to reserve a table in their wine cellar—something I need to keep in mind if I ever go on another real date this century.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Gah. Somebody please tell me how I'm supposed to respond to an RFP question requiring us to identify all of our offices (there are 160-some), number of specialists in a particular function, and a couple of other details when they have explicitly limited our responses to a maximum of 100 words per question? For fuck's sake.

Ugh. I hate that shit, and agree with the summary answer. Although just yesterday I decided to completely ignore an RFP question because it was really complicated and I only noticed it a couple of hours before the deadline. Oops.

What is even happening?

Well, it looks like I'm caving.
Wait, no, I am caving, even if one considers my position not one that was mine to take. My ride to the ER should be here in half an hour or so.

Recovery and health to you, ita.

Our wings are not tired.

I hope the ER visit resulted in a pain free deep sleep night for ita. The doctor visit TODAY needs to yield a better plan.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

shrift, that sounds like an awsome dining experience. I've had some good meals out in my day, but nothing remotely that special (I think the only place that might compare in Boston is L'Espalier, which I've never been to).
