I am wearing purple sweater, with navy blue slacks and a purple jacket with muted blue and red stripes.

Not mocking shit, real shit.

I now have this image of Steph's dinner companions handing over actual shit (probably dog). Possibly in a quiltbag.

Man, that's definitely going to put me off my dinner.

It's important to remember that before Electric Boogaloo the go-to sequel for all joke making was "The Bride of..."

But then came "The Quickening."

The Quickening goes rather well with Electric Boogaloo, though.

Chick in the washroom was wearing a purple top. I was tempted to walk up behind her and mutter "QUILTBAG" and see if her eyes flashed black.

Hah!

I'm wearing a purple dress. It's kind of interesting to see where to purple is popping up in the office today.

There was a thing on the Times website (not sure if it was in the actual paper) recently about STEM, for science-technology-engineering-math, as used in education, and how it's stupid. But honestly, it's so much better than SMET, which is what they started with....

Although in my first job in NYC, all I could for in meetings for months was write down all of the initials that people were spewing -- it was my first job in New York, in health care, in government funding. Many, many acronyms and initialisms...

I used to have a purple suit, but purple seems to have fallen out of my wardrobe without my noticing it. Perhaps I need purple.

I wore my purple shirt yesterday, unthinkingly. I couldn't wear it two days in a row.
