Learned helplessness is no one's friend!
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a store called Cupcake in my work neighborhood but, criminally, it is a clothing NOT a cupcake store. rip off.
Yeah, that's bullshit.
I'm totally going to Bourne Ultimatum this afternoon. Or maybe Hairspray. At any rate: Hiding from the heat inside a movie theater.

Our wings are not tired.
I really, really loathe people who express helplessness in the face of clear instructions.
Are you talking about my boys? Yeah, this is most annoying every place I encounter it.

I don't want to do you. Go away now.
You know, I somehow COMPLETELY missed the "Dear Work," part of this post and thought these were the clear instructions you gave a person. I read it a few more times with that perplexed dog head tilt before I finally read the greeting.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'll be seeing OotP tonight with my cousin.

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
I really, really loathe people who express helplessness in the face of clear instructions.
Like the attorney I sit near (and don't even work for) who walks up to me three times a day and says "the light is flashing on the printer, I think it needs paper."?
And then stands there while I get up from my desk, open the drawer, stick paper in, and close it?
I wonder how he gets dressed in the morning. "Honey, I think my socks are in there..."

I think poor Jesse was terribly disappointed that I live in Baltimore and had no idea who Mary Alice was.
Damaged my cred, or something.

No, no, I just forgot you don't have The Cable.

Punishingly Intricate
Is it harder to make than other cakes? What recipe do you use?
Red velvet cake is not hard at all! The secret? Red food dye.
I think poor Jesse was terribly disappointed that I live in Baltimore and had no idea who Mary Alice was.
She knew that you don't have cable, though!
