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.

Man, that better clear up and cause no travel delays for Thursday (day boyfriend is coming in from Chicago). Shakes warning fist at midwest!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Good to know! I'm starting to feel puny, so a snow day would not be unwelcome.

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

There's a screening of The Day the Earth Stood Still at Caltech, and both Keanu Reeves and my friend Sean (who did a little consulting on the film re: physics) are doing a Q&A.

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

I've been at my company for nine years, and I haven't gone to a Christmas party yet.

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

The main party for my firm is up in SF, and they don't provide shuttles or anything, so I doubt I'm going to go.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

ON THE SAME NIGHT AS MY COMPANY XMAS PARTY

This is the same company with the boss who's been crushing your self-esteem to a fine powder, right? The company from which you've been patiently digging an escape tunnel with a craftily hidden teaspoon? Ass 'em in the ear. They don't deserve your presence. Go revel in the Keanu.
