Is Alia from Dune ? I have a co-worker named Alia. I thought it was just a name.
Yep.
Not wanting to assume, I asked,"As in the literary Alia?" She looked surprised and said,"Yes, it's from Dune." The aforementioned sputtering ensued.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Great quilt, Matt!
I am sad that Dylan has Cookie monster nightmares. But happy about everything Hodgman.
Are we talking about cutting a swath through our enemies or swathing ourselves in velvet? Either way, I use a short a. In my head, because I don't think I've said either outloud.
I read a review of The Philanthropist that implied it was not as terrible as the ads make it seem, but I don't think I believe that enough to watch it.

Our wings are not tired.
Juliana, cool! You know there are a TON of restaurants in the city that could use your services....maybe a good side job! Also, nail salons. It's amazing how many places don't offer a services/prices menu. And you could do the web-design, too...

Back is worse. I might have to call out of work, gah.
so I'm sitting in the armchair, looking out my front door, watching a deer eating twenty feet away up the hill.

cornflakes: Calling out of work. Phone rang four feet from me and it took me six rings to answer it. Now, let's see how long it takes me to plug in the heating pad...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I do not want to be at work today AT ALL.
It was meltdown city this weekend in Dylan-land, and I desperately need a day to recover and stop feeling like the world's shittiest parent. Bleh.

If I were closer Jessica, I'd take you to lunch. No way you're the world's shittiest parent. My bet is you are not even the World's Meanest Mommy (tm). A friend and I are in a never-ending contest for that title - I am lucky in the fact that mac proclaims me the winner most weeks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't think I've ever said swathe.
As a kid I told a friend I had to "swathe hay" - he didn't know what I meant, and thought I had said some French word - 'swathey' or something.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I pronounce "swathe" to rhyme with "lathe" and "bathe."
Kathy, I had no idea that Breyer's made dolls.
Sorry--it's Byers carolers, not Breyers. I was getting them mixed up with the ice cream company, I think.
