And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

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.

I am thinking about giving up coffee again for a while, for the sake of my stomach. Am I crazy?

Nope. If you felt better off coffee it makes sense to stay off it! I think I may need to give up either cheese or wheat.

But I don't drink coffee.

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

It really was horrendous at times, which is why I made sure to leave lots of time. It was a breeze though and has been my last couple of trips.

Ugh in the office, Dana.

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

I think I may need to give up cheese

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Is she being moved into your office as well as you, or instead of you?

We will be sharing the office.

ita, if it's any comfort, flying in and out of the New Orleans airport was really easy this week.

Tom, no kidding!

Also, the TMZ/JFK Nuddie photo story is the biggest non-story of the day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was laughing with my mother the other day, talking about celiac and whatnot, because we were like, yeah, maybe one of those (dairy or wheat) is the cause of the IBS stuff in our family. We'll never know!

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

We will be sharing the office.

I hope it doesn't cut into your internet access.

flying in and out of the New Orleans airport was really easy this week.

I hope it continues to be so. I've always had a decent time flying on New Year's Day.

Ugh. I'm back in product feature research mode. It's a hard hat to put back on.

I'm disappointed in TMZ. I expect them to be right, even as they are the most salacious.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She appears to be wearing a natty feathered hat, which is great.

I cut way back on the juice and sugar, and it's had an immediate effect on my acid reflux.

Oopsie! TMZ admits that Kennedy photo is probably a fake: Kennedy Picture -- A Fake?

When glancing over the article it did occur to me that they were overlooking the fact photographic trickery was possible before Photoshop hit the market.
