Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Have I said Happy Birthday, Suzi! yet? I meant to.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I meant to say it before, but, Happy Birthday, Suzi!!!

I was going to go for a swim tonight, but my stomach is off-and-on nauseous today, so swimming probably isn't the best exercise option. I think I'll go home and see if I can get my stationary bike that I've never used to work and do that for 30 minutes. Then, maybe I'll start using the 3-pound hand weights while watching tv.

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

Happy birthday, Suzi! K-Bug is clearly a genius birthday-care-package-putter-togetherer.

And soothing vibes to Kathy's stomach.

There's a doctor in the Bay Area named Burton Fink who's been practicing for decades, but until I mentioned it sometime in the early aughties, he had never had any notion of the existence of Barton Fink. I mean, granted, the Coen Brothers aren't James Cameron in terms of blockbuster name recognition, but not one person who'd ever met him since 1991 had ever so much as passed it on a video store shelf?

Someone in the lab just brought in a stack of pizzas and a cheesecake, because his wife manages a CPK and sometimes sends him in with treats for everyone. New place: a great office, or the BEST office? May need more cheesecake in order to render an informed decision.

I think it wins for the BEST, JZ.

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

He kept saying, "It's Birnam Wood," but no laughed.

HOW COULD THEY NOT!?!?!

Errr...I don't get it either.

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

MACBETH, you sillies. Birnam Woods rides on him and the prophecy and shit.

I never know actual legit references that other people don't.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

"Macbeth shall never vanquished be until

Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill

Shall come against him."

- William Shakespeare, Macbeth, 4.1

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like pizza and cheesecake at work! We keep meaning to get pizza, so should really do that. There will still be no cheesecake, sadly.
