And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Plain sometimes, smothered in butter and bacon salt others.

There's something almost poetic about the fact that matzoh with butter and bacon salt is, despite all appearances, kosher for passover. (Oh bacon salt! Is there anything you can't do?)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

If your metaphor needs a press release, you are probably doing it wrong.

Words to live by.

The man is still recovering from a bout of hepatitis C, but swears he can carry on. This does not support his case.

Because books.

Someone put unsalted butter in the dish. So wrong on my bagel, man.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ugh. Up until 2:22am finishing Emmett's paper. He stayed up with me until midnight helping with writing and editing but the rest was just layout and pagination and all that crap.

It'd be comical how tired I am except that I've got to drive to L.A. today.

Anyway. Paper done.

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

So is Good Friday a day to wear purple?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think purple is for Easter.

It seemed I saw more purple on the train than usual. But I could be wrong. Or it could be people on their way to Northwestern.

Trust my rage

In my church tradition, purple was for Lent and white for Easter.YMMV of course.

Spent bullets, turned into jewelry: Rings by Adi Zaffran Weisler

“The rings that were created remove the bullet from its original function and they surprisingly turn into a bejeweled object and emphasize the beauty and aesthetics of the bullet when it is distanced from its surroundings,” says the designer. ”

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

There is almost no one in my office today and I am, for once, not on deadline. I foresee very little little actual work being accomplished today. And my ass is out of here by 2.
