In work news, I got a hilarious email from my work nemesis (remember her??) that said, "Please give me the dates for the following events: June 16 event, [other event], [other event].
Luckily, the date for the "June 16 event" is actually JULY 16.
Gabriel: Are you trying to destroy this family? Simon: I didn't realize it would be so easy.
'Safe'
Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
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 remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I hate her, Jesse. I want to send her angry emails from an anonymous account.
ION, people at my work are emphatically ignoring my announcements of an early office closure. I do not want to do any additional work today, but I would be pleased to get rid of this one pile of papers. QUANDRY!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
In the realm of not so gothy, but not entirely ungothy sartorial news, Franny insisted on wearing her fairy wings to school today.
In similar news, Annabel's class made decorated paper crowns in daycare this week and got to take them home yesterday. (I think this had something to do with the biblical story of Esther, which was the week's theme in chapel time.) She wore hers to the library, talking about it to the librarian, random people on the elevator and in the check-out line, etc. When asked if she was a princess, she always said she was the king.
She wanted to wear the crown to bed, but we suggested she prop it on the head of the bed instead. (As she sometimes does with her pirate hat from her Halloween costume, leading me to wish her pirate dreams when I kiss her goodnight.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Did she get the date wrong Jesse? Because that would be hiLARious.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
My forecasting database is actively working against me today. It is usually my friend. What did I do to incur its wrath?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This would be why men irritate me so much.
I think this is an unfair characterization
Maybe more an unfair generalisation than characterisation?
It does seem a shame to toss out the baby (oops) with the bathwater, but maybe you don't place much value on the baby in the first place.

I don't know what the hell her problem is.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
When asked if she was a princess, she always said she was the king.
That's one smart kid you got there! She could be the king of the pirates, thus combining the headgear hanging from her bed.

I am not going home at lunch today to nap. I am working through lunch instead. I know there's a middle ground around here somewhere--I just don't remember where I put it.
I want one of these, and this, and maybe this.

hip deep in pie
I am starving, but I am also leaving work in 20 minutes or so, so I am trying to wait it out.
