Young Simon: So... how'd the Independents cut us off? Young River: They were using dinosaurs.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.  

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.

I finally got my cookie.

If you give a Scola a cookie, you have to get him some milk...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Now I'm picturing some random number generator hooked up to a sign that says, "Daisy Jane go home!" The sign will, of course, light up when the random number generator (perhaps based on the random decay of some radioactive substance) is triggered....

That might be cool!

This almost never happens. Usually the only time we're off early is if we have to work extra hours some other time.

I always get very excited when I check out a library book, or find a used book, and it's been annotated by somebody else. It's like a little gift, where you get a peek inside someone else's thought processes.

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

Sometimes it's a gift. Sometimes it's more like a curse, when you go, "What were they thinking?"

Yeah, but at least some of the time when it's like that, you can at least point and laugh and go "Holy crap, there's a lot of wackos in the world!"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Anyone have a special celebratory treat on Friday?

4:15 meeting cancelled. Not that that's an every Friday thing, or a cookie, but it's darned nice not having to be in a meeting.

I just got a Twix bar pout of the vending machine in a mad effort to get me motivated to write 2 pages on Ranganathan's Planes of Work.

Waits.

I didn't go to work?

Uhg, Devi has some sort of digestive issue. She's acting normal and hasn't puked since last night, but...uhg. I'll call the vet tomorrow if it doesn't seem to be clearing up, as it hasn't even been 24 hours yet. Otherwise, I'd have to wait until monday and that's just a little too long if it's not going away, I think. Damnit, she's my 100% healthy cat, no fair!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It depends a bit on the type of book, but mostly I find other people's annotations invasive and annoying. It's just me and the book/author--I don't want that relationship turned into a threesome.

Maybe you should've tried the king-sized Twix, flea?
