Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns  

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.

I actually hate getting this annoyed, and normally try very hard not to, so I have now put on headphones. That can be problematic, because my boss sometimes yells for me, and need to be able to hear her (I know, that is pretty annoying, too)

Too many layers of annoyance!

Someone above mentioned that it should be in multiples of 18, because it represents chai. I think that $36 checks are quite common.

Article on Reading

According to the article 27% of Americans did not read a book in the last year. That means 73% did, which is kinda better than I would expect. There are some interesting stats about who reads what in the article too. I dunno if audio books would count, my count of books read would go up a bit if I counted stuff I listen to while commuting.

Because she reads her emails aloud! Stop it!

okay, I'm sorry that you suffer for this but, I have to say, other people's annoying co-workers are FUNN-EEE.

If I could count the scads of fanfiction I read, my count would go WAY up. Sometimes I even print it to read on a commute (by bus, not car)

Yes. Even $18 checks are pretty common for some folks. It depends on the swankiness of the affair.

Bwah. This is true of me as well. I've read a few books this year, but if you factor in McShep fanfic the word count has to be in the low seven digits!

That's the stuff I'm currently mainlining! God bless del.icio.us.

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

Thanks! Uh, sort of drug-addled yesterday. Not a good way to live, and I'm taking it too for granted. I am disturbed.
