Sir? I'd like you to take the helm, please. I need this man to tear all my clothes off.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Let's not start today over, let's just fast-forward it.

Shir! Your mom's bad-ass! Go her!!

lisah, can you maybe get a hot plate? That way you can at least make stove-top food. Or, yes, a camping stove.

Protests and counter-protests were already starting as I did my morning run. The spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry is all strident about the "lawbreakers" along the torch route. Dear China - last I looked, protesting was not illegal in France, Britain, or here. Shut it.

I heard about this crash on the traffic report this morning. Sad. [link]

My mom just called. She was walking in a mall, when suddenly she saw a shadow in the corner of her eye and felt someone touching her bag. She turned around and punched the guy, hard.

Damn, that is AWESOME. The kind of thing I always hope I'd do, but probably wouldn't. (Er, well, the punching a pickpocket thing, not punching someone I know trying to surprise me)

I wish that every woman that was brushed up against grossly on the subway, or worse grabbed in anyway would take an open hand slap to the guy's crotch.

Ew. But that would involve my hand and his crotch. Can't I like, elbow him in the crotch or something?

I just heard on the radio that there is a HOT TUB in the middle of hte highway, causing traffic accidents. Er...

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

This is making my mouth water. I love a good unsalted butter.

Meara, if you slap openhanded you can cup with the fingertips and also smack from behind the nuts. Rumour has it that this exacerbates the whole thing. Plus, the closer your elbow is to his crotch, the closer your face is.

ita, there are some Amish ladies at the farmer's market by my office who sell logs of fresh butter that would kill you ded. So amazing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ew. But that would involve my hand and his crotch.

Oh yeah, that was my reaction as well.

So I posted about the Cargo Pants Situation and people keep telling me to try on men's cargo pants.

I don't think that's going to work, considering that I'm short and not thin. Also, I have no idea what I'd be in men's sizing. Women's sizing is difficult enough.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just had a syringe fall out of my lunch bag while someone was in my office.

That was fun.

Men's sizing makes so much more sense. Waist measurement & inseam measurement.

FEH. After two days of off site meetings , plus not having been at this location since last tuesday, I find it hard to remember what I am doing.
