What a strange coincidence that he knows Chicago Boy!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I once went to dinner with a good friend and some work colleagues. One colleague was explaining how in her experience all the really interesting people were unstable. My friend, who hadn't been paying close attention till then, suddenly pipes up with "So are you boring or unstable?" (For those playing along at home, definitely the latter.)

Actually, not a coincidence. MFJ pointed me to his profile, and told his buddy he was sending someone. He figured it out as I was in the process of sending him a message. Hee!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, it is true that the more stable my life has before, the less interesting things happen, for all values of "interesting" that = "might make you dead".
I'm actually okay with being a bit less interesting.

Wow, Smonster, that's called "having references"!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
smonster: Silver lining: good story.
bt: That would be the obvious question. Maybe there's a continuum.
I am almost finished grading my students' book reviews. I have decided 1) This is the best assignment ever (and not just because they're easy to grade) 2) "Aviatrix" is an awesome word that I will be saying in my head for the rest of the evening.

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?
Pix, glad your family is away from the badness and okay.
smonster, that was a horrible date. Here's hoping the one this week will be better!
I'm feeling better. But, I made jello and got all sweaty and tired. Making jello. That's sad and ridiculous. I also ate some soup and now my tummy is rumbling. I hope it's just digestive rumblings and not a portent for reappearance.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My university canceled classes for tomorrow. I might stop by my office to pick up some of my notes and stuff so that I can work on my dissertation at home. I'm not too good at concentrating while I'm at home, but I know that working in my office when the university is closed will be too creepy.

The status is NOT quo.
