I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Punishingly Intricate

Am so tired. Had to stay up to watch all the Oscars because once I start I can't stop but I was out at dinner for the first 90 minutes or so. And yet only ended up maybe 20 minutes behind at the end. Due to ff-ing through commercials and boring parts! but, still, am so tired.

So, Josh Brolin? He must be short with the most ginormous head ever. He wasn't that much taller than James McAvoy who is tiny but his head was like 3 times as big.

I kind of loved Marion Cotillard's dress even if it was fish scaley.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Our 11 o'clock all-staff meeting got cancelled, so I can just screw around until noon, right?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is everyone just sleepy today from staying up to watch the Oscars?

I did not stay up, but I taped the rest of them.

why does Forest Whittaker look like Redd Foxx in that red carpet photo?

I kind of loved Marion Cotillard's dress even if it was fish scaley.

I agree -- but I think it had a lot to do with the woman who was wearing it. She wore the dress, it didn't wear her, etc., etc.

Someone please tell the people who work for me that I'm not going to chase down information for them -- if you want to go to a conference, spell out to me what it's going to cost. If you make me do it, I might accidentially on purpose forget to budget a hotel room for you.

So. Frelling. Gronked. Send help.

That is all.

I join you in the gronk, Frankenbuddha.

Tell me, o Buffistas -- if I have the ick AND I get 6 sick days, of which I have taken exactly none, is this a good time to take a day off?

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

What are the reasons not to, in your book? There must be some I'm not seeing.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I don't think I am gronked from the Oscars. I think I am gronked from a body in revolt. My head is on day 3 of being all foggy and resulting in me being spaced out.
