That really is wonderful news, Hec. Socialism FTW!*
*At least in this case. I know very little about socialism and therefore hesitate to endorse it completely.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So instead of having the equivalent of an extra rent payment every month we'll have an excellent free public school paid for and supported by taxes. Which shouldn't feel like such an amazing boon in my opinion, but it does feel like one.
And it shouldn't have to be such hard work either. That said Congrats!

That is great news, David.
I just took a look in the garden. There are signs of life, mostly from weeds. I managed to kill my strawberry plants by leaving them in a pot with no drainage all winter. Totally rotted.

Perkins, Chevy Chase works on Community because he's playing someone disgusting and unfunny!
The show is the bomb.

Wow, that is terrific, Hec! (And JZ, and Matilda!)
Sorry to hear about the strawberries, Sue. I loves me some berries, and wish I could grow them on my north-facing balcony, but no can do.
I was just walking back from the cafeteria and passed by someone in the aisle. As she approached me, she glanced me over and then whispered, "You look amazing." Happymaking!
(As of this morning, I'm down exactly 120 pounds.)

It seems like Community thinks Chevy Chase is as big a dick as I do. I like that in a show. Jesse, the "yay" in that kills me every time. Also, Matthew Perry and Allison Janney. I hate the wannabe lovable weirdo son, though, anyone who makes me wish he was as cool as Urkel needs to die or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The son is weirdly growing on me, to my surprise.

He kind of makes me think of when Joss talked about seeing girls to play Willow and they were all crazy hair and pocket protectors because that's TV nerdy. And could the blonde be more generic?

So a friend who works for a recruiting company just sent a message saying that the are recruiting for a position. She said "It is a very exciting time with this particular technology company…they have a “Black Swan” moment in process, which they are trying to capitalize on and ramp up to seize"
I cannot figure out what "Black Swan" means in that context! Like, somehow the tech company equivalent of making a super cheesy movie an Oscar contender? I've asked her to explain but wanted to put it to you guys.
