KristinT, I have a question. What lit gets covered in the 12th grade curriculum?

You know how the repetition in some words leads you to repeat the repetition a few too many times? Like banana?

Don't use words like that for your passwords.

Oh, bollocks, Sarameg. That bites.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Thanks Kat, I'll see if I can get out a few minutes early. Traffic just blows. I'm probably better off getting up early on Saturday.

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

Sara, that sucks.

is this one of the stupider food-related lawsuits to come along in a while?

It seems really petty to take them to court about it, but also petty of them to lie about it in the first place. I had Pinkberry once--I'm pretty sure I didn't finish it. The green tea was indeed hella chalky.

In the grand scheme of things, it is small, but quite annoying. I need to change it. Except then I'll have to remember a new password!

Happy Birthday, Noise Design!

Everyone in my office has gone home early, except one co-worker who is notorious for errands on her daughter's behalf that take hours longer than promised and has not yet returned. Excellent excuse to play hooky?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well in DC, there are no bedbugs?

What about used couches, Jesse? Bedbugs love those too!

Yeah, I don't know. I don't even know how pervasive the bedbugs actually are -- I just know everyone is terrified!

So I just bought a new computer, which, yay. But I'm so sketched out by those stores, it's possible I could have gotten a better deal. I took a free-with-rebate printer I had seen on-line, even though the guy was trying to tell me this other one was $60 and then I could get $120 back. I just couldn't believe it, since I hadn't seen it online. The other printer was too big and heavy anyway. But still -- I'm one of those people who walks in with a printout from the internet and says "I want that. Just that. No thanks. No thanks. Just that. On the paper. For that price. Thanks."
